Lest you think I'm being unfair at the dumb headline, here are the next few paragraphs Finger length impacts your choice of "masculine" or "feminine" foods! Science?pic.twitter.com/4uI9tYpiSb
All credit to the Daily Mail here, they do actually link to the study. Wonderful http://doi.org/10.1016/j.foodqual.2020.104168 …pic.twitter.com/8yAjIPce3Q
To the Mail's credit, they appear to have (mostly) fairly represented what the study is about, although they've confused the SIZE of the fingers with the RATIO between lengthpic.twitter.com/zuCfprw1Fx
So, what about the study? At first glance, I'm pretty unimpressed here. A 216-person online survey with paid participants does not often great science makepic.twitter.com/Q5lMuLE0hQ
This is particularly true when you consider that digit ratios were calculated by the participants themselves. I'd be very concerned about measurement error here...pic.twitter.com/k393CZmrLi
The sample of "masculine" and "feminine" food combinations consisted of just 5 examples, which is a pretty tiny sample, and the distinction between the two was very modest (1 = totally feminine, 7 = totally masculine)pic.twitter.com/uSXV9SYyZx
Then we get to the good (painful?) bit, where the authors dichotomized their continuous variables to make them easier to analyze This is, uh, not best practice statisticallypic.twitter.com/8t1gNRZqgz
They even referenced another paper that did the same to justify it
