Both measures were according to the mothers’ self-reports.

In other words, this study has no real scientific value.

But there are many more problems with this “study” than just that.

Lol "I don't like the results of this study, therefore it has not scientific value because I said so"

[–] 8000mark@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 1 year ago

This is actually an incredibly poor take. Why do you think self-reported data has no scientific value?

A lot of studies in this area will suffer from the same issue. You can't exactly take two groups of toddlers and start mandating they watch 4 hours a day. So you'll have to depend on self-reports.

I don't know about other problems with this particular study, but it's not a surprising result really. Children need interaction with their caregivers to develop.
