Fascinating article! This study is helpful in better understanding some of the socio-political processes currently making life in the US right now so difficult to understand. The concept of "national narcissism" is one I had not heard of before, but is invaluable in understanding how white male fragility has given rise to new dynamics in our society.
Unfortunately, the journal has not published an abstract for this study, making it difficult to assess whether it would be worth it to go to the trouble to get the full article.
It is interesting that individuals are not eligible to apply for this grant, given its focus on independent researchers. However, this can be easily solved by becoming a small business.
Unfortunately the abstract does not indicate in what direction anger traits and suppression work with hypertension in this population; that is, does suppression of anger predict higher or lower likelihood of hypertension, etc?
It is unsatisfactory to not report what country the subjects were in. Given that one of the covariates of interest was literacy, I'm assuming that it was from a less developed nation, but it's hard to say.
The authors' conclusion that "These results suggest that hempseed may improve post-ovariectomy complications in rats" does not suggest anything particularly useful, as rats rarely face ovariectomies outside of a lab. Nor does their introductory statement that the need for this study is because the "potential of this plant to protect against complications of menopause" has been rarely studied; if they are referring to menopause in humans, it involves many more processes than removal of the ovaries. In fact, ovariectomy only overlaps with menopause in a few limited area.
It is unfortunate that they use the word "young" in the title of this funding opportunity (as do so many others); presumably, they are not looking to practice illegal age discrimination, but really mean "early career."
