David – Your headline would be a much fairer one. Your analysis of the current headline seems right.

Therefore more likely to be true, generally.

Just as Rosik stated in this article,

As is the case for the vast majority of studies in this area, the sample size is quite small, constituting only 78 adolescents. The sample of lesbian parents is self-selected and appears to be different from the general population on important demographics such as socioeconomic status and educational attainment.

My question is- Is the vast amount of psychological research on other psychological topics

NOT Small sample size

NOT self reported

Thank you.

I figured that. Could you please re-red my question again and try to answer it. Many thanks.
