That's not the full article, just the summary on the journal page. That said, we shouldn't be purchasing overpriced articles, they're priced so only well funded academic libraries can pay and access them (It's a racket taking advantage of hidden costs in education, as opaque as our shitty healthcare insurance but less talked about).

Like I said, they're at best matching on review scores and pretending that's all that's going on to influence earnings. Articles like this aren't particularly useful, although they're perhaps less damaging that those with junk science claiming video games are the reason for school shootings and such. I get students who still believe that junk.
