The Psych Bull article that Will is referring to is a meta-analysis, with all the limitations of its breed. Since it's based on a wide variety of verbal reports of what individuals (apparently mostly politicians) say that they would do or say in a specified situation, it is of limited value. And Will of course has selectively abstracted parts of the report that suit his politics. All in all, I'm more disappointed in Psych Bull in publishing the article in the first place. BTW, Louis-- Are you reacting to Will, or to the article he discusses? Have you read it? * PAUL K.
