Article analysis:
The article is overall reliable and trustworthy as it provides a detailed description of the research methods used in the study as well as a thorough analysis of the results. The authors provide evidence for their claims by citing prior research from other domains which supports their findings. Additionally, they use multiple logistic regression models to analyze their data which adds credibility to their results.
However, there are some potential biases that should be noted when interpreting the results of this study. First, since participants were recruited through MTurk, they may not be representative of the general population which could lead to biased results. Second, since this was an online survey with self-reported responses there is potential for response bias due to social desirability or recall bias which could affect the accuracy of the results. Finally, since this was a cross sectional study it is difficult to draw causal conclusions from these findings so further research is needed to explore these relationships further.
