I would add, however, that your snarky “throw the results out” comment is still unfounded. Just as you can find liberals in Texas, you can find conservatives at NYU.

Participants were college students whose politics ranged from “very liberal” to “very conservative.” They were instructed to tap a keyboard when an M appeared on a computer monitor and to refrain from tapping when they saw a W.

When I used to work in Human Factors engineering, our studies were heavily populated by students since Wright State was just next door, but rarely did we run anything more involved than a simple exploratory mini-study that was without full-fledged “adult” participants. Similar to college students, 2nd LTs in the USAF are available and cheap (we didn’t have to pay them for their time at all!).

Because the sample was only immature college students, I’d throw the results out just because of that.
