More like a hypothesis generating survey than an actual research paper. Even so, those are better numbers than a lot of other science headlines have (by orders of magnitude).

    What metric are you using to evaluate magnitudes for a hypothesis generating survey?

    My point is that a lot of papers that make headlines have participants numbering in the single or double digits, so this is at least better than that. Your point (I assume) is that a low number of participants should be viewed skeptically, and I agree with that.
