This has nothing to do with 'sexy women'! It's examining men's behaviour AFTER LOOKING AT IMAGES OF WOMEN! More accurately..
-
..reported as 'Men more likely to behave unethically after fantasising about women'. But no. Junk science method: first ...2
-
...generate stats, then interpret by speculation. Don't examine assumptions, don't test against evidence. Pretendy science.
-
All truth! Images of any kind are stimuli that may be correlated with behaviour but it's still individual men making decisions, not "women."

shifting the blame. smh. we need responsible
#scicomm and we need it now -
Yes. Media article just regurgitates press release with no interrogation of findings. Haven't spoken to other experts to get responses.

@PsychToday Why are you publishing such irresponsible content? heres why scientists don't want to talk to reporters, always skewing our work

This rhetoric also has eugenical antecedents.
-
Yes, exactly. Panders to worst assumptions about genetics / biological drive and inferiority of women and in other cases racial minorities.

An abundance of studies show that men in general are more likely to lie, overestimate and cheat at tasks; some do this more than others.

That's unfair. Ev psych never sets out to naturalize the patriarchy: explanation is not the same as prescription

To be undeservedly fair to PsychToday this isn't them misinterpreting the paper - the title of the article in press says the same thing.
-
But of course repeating the given line and parroting it uncritically are very different things.
