Well, while I'm not defending any personal attacks, you did comment on the study. Your thread title claimed that the study proved an association. "proof" is not a claim made often in psychology; the authors claim they "found" a predictable pattern in their data set, which is a weaker claim.
I don't see any problems with the study, but I do think that it is in danger of being over-interpreted. The effects they are looking for are weak, subjective, and highly correlated with other variables. I wouldn't read too much into any one study.
Ahh, I see. Perhaps you are correct in that.
I actually may have lifted the OP title from a friend of mine on a social networking site (with permission of course). My bad for not editing it better.
The rest of the text was simply taken word for word from the study itself though.
