Re: Men’s Oppressive Beliefs Predict Their Breast Size Preferences in Women

[greenvelvetcake]

A sample of 361 white British men does not any legitimate correlation make.

lol no

thats enough to be considered a statistically valid sample

there may be critiques to make but u clearly dont have the background to make them

Re: Men’s Oppressive Beliefs Predict Their Breast Size Preferences in Women

[greenvelvetcake]

30,000,000 men in the UK
Sample size of 360

Yeah, that's totes sound.

pls go

ur embarasing urself

atleast learn the minimum http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sample_size_determination

Good for you, you almost managed to type a sentence without botching it!

Please don't try to explain sample size until you've learned how to type.

It's enough to be a statistically valid sample if they controlled properly for various other factors including class, education, age, etc., etc..

Required sample size is not directly related to population size. It is directly related to the effect size of the test you're using, which is affected by population variance. In fact, larger sample sizes are more likely to return significance on spurious correlations (DOW Jones and skirt length being a popular example.)

This study is shit because its sample comes entirely from white Londoners. Expanding that sample to 3,600, 360,000 or 3.6 million won't make it a better study.

Providing that the sample is representative of the population it's seeking to measure (e.g. white, British males) 361 is an adaquate size to draw inferences from. If your methodology is sound and you observe a significant correlation in a representative sample of that size then it's highly probable that the your findings can be generalised to the population you're sampling from (though trying to discern what a correlation indicates can be a rather more difficult matter). I'd have to read the article in full to judge the quality of the methodology and statistical techniques used, but the sample size itself isn't a problem.

It is if we're supposed to extrapolate to "men", rather than "white, British men", though, which we seem to be supposed to do, considering the title of the article.
