I think it's cute when psychologists go out and play Scientist, but at the end of the day it's all pretty much just make-believe and pretend. ![]() "How are things with Lindsey, Dave?" "Well not too good unfortunately. The BMI gap between her and I got a little bigger after her dad died, so assuming a normal distribution, we're about 13 percent unhappier than we were last summer." "I'm sorry to hear that." |

It's just a correlational study, it is what it is, as long as they control for confounding variables well. Explanations of the correlation may be pretend, but unless the study is poorly designed, the correlation isn't. |

You're into marketing statistics, aren't you. ![]() Incidentally, that's not science, either. |

It doesn't need to be science if it helps marketers do their jobs. |

I am so adjective that I verb nouns!

Another possible inference is that over the course of the 4 year longitudinal study, those who were more unhappy put on more weight, and in the demographic of mid to late 20s I'd guess women put on weight more easily than men (perhaps in general) so the less happy the marriage, the heavier the woman would get than the man. |
