Disagree from experience. I find it far more likely that they considered how to skew the p-values low enough to where they become significant. “Personal pleasure” & “Empathetic feelings” do NOT sound like terms which correlate to reproducibility to me.

All studies that use terms like that have a section that explains how they are measuring it, how other studies have used the same measure and how that measure itself is tested for reproducibility and accuracy.
doesn't necessarily mean they are ACTUALLY measuring anything real. just sayin'
So without training in the field, having read about the specific example or anything else, you can say the entire study is trash?
