    n = 40, this is junk. they couldn’t even get 100 people for this?

    these were all sampled from 1 company in amsterdam. the differences could be explained by company culture, or local culture, or whatever. more work needed.

      n=40 isn’t actually bad for generalized conclusions, given a reasonable spread in the results. Your second point is a much stronger argument. The sample is entirely non-representative.

      That’s very concrete language you’re using there. Are you perchance an introvert? We could make it n = 41 and add a dash more selection bias to boot!

      Shitty sample sizes are the majority of “research” nowadays. It’s sad how hard it is to find any even in the triple digits.
