    Read through the article and abstract. The method seems all right, but with such a low sample size (n=21 apparently?) it's hard to tell whether the results are conclusive at all. On the other hand, good idea for a cheap replication study...

    "In their first experiment, Bernard’s team focused on an obvious way to sexualise a person, by reducing their clothing"

    That was probably the fun part of the project.

    @kitantisune That's why I sounded as skeptical as I did in my post, haha. I do see the logic behind this, with personal experience to back it up (ahem), but at the same time I'm just irked by all these studies making bold claims with sample sizes smaller than most classes.

    @Thad E Ginathom LOL, greengrocers have a lot to answer for. And yeah, I'm guessing that was one of the highlights of the whole experience :P
