Psypost doesnt publish studies, they just provide further context for often paywalled studies.

The study has to be from a journal of a certain impact score or it gets removed from the sub.

> Then for whatever reason, low quality studies are posted here with the link to Psypost rather than the actual study.

What makes this a low quality study? It seems lazy to attack Psypost which is nothing more than a online site that does press releases for psychologically focused studies while linking directly to the study.

I would rather lazily attack Psypost for publicizing low quality studies than vigilantly defend Psypost for publicizing low quality studies. We must have different motivators, c'est la vie.

What makes the current study being discussed in the Psypost article low quality? You have not addressed that despite me asking multiple times.

In the Psypost article:

> Study participants completed an assessment of sexual distress that used items from the Sexual Complaint Screener for Men (SCS-M), of body image self-consciousness (Male Body Image Self-Consciousness Scale), partner-oriented sexual perfectionism (Multidimensional Sexual Perfectionism Questionnaire) and pathological narcissistic traits of vulnerable, and grandiose narcissism (Pathological Narcissism Inventory, PNI)

They measure two different things in the field of psychology.

You evidently have no ability to follow scientific discussion and can't even read a simple press release.

Cheers
