Really? You think so? Why would a study want to tell people what they want to hear so they can reaffirm their position as a victim?

Yeah I guess it would immediately become popular and well spread because people would quote it and share it to reinforce their own ideas of how hard their life is. But other than that, I couldn't see why they would do that.
