1) We need better measures. Common method variance accounts for many findings.
2) We have overly relied on crowd-sourced research for the last 15+ years and the quality of those data are very poor. We have a very real MTurk crisis on our hands.

Great list! Love seeing that X-ray Spex in there. My only complaint is the lack of Hole but that's only because Courtney is due for her redemption arc and Live Through This was the best mainstream grunge album imo.

Given the rise in mturk/prolific bots and LLM "participants", college sophomores have become the gold standard.
