Extract¶

From the abstract (confirmed across Semantic Scholar, Wiley, ERIC, and PsycNET):

"We conducted 5 studies involving 198 samples including 633,263 researchers, entertainers, politicians, and amateur and professional athletes."

Some secondary sources report the count as 632,599 rather than 633,263. This minor discrepancy may reflect different versions of the paper or rounding.

Relevance to Hypotheses¶

Hypothesis	Relationship	Strength
H1	Supports	Strongly supports — study parameters match claim exactly
H2	Supports	Strongly supports — confirms the core factual component
H3	Contradicts	Strongly contradicts — parameters are confirmed, not materially wrong

Context¶

The study parameters are consistently reported across multiple independent databases, providing high confidence in these specific numbers.

Notes¶

Minor variation in total individual count (633,263 vs 632,599) across sources — likely due to different paper versions.
