WTF are the:

"Ten meta-analytic calculations performed on the material...?"

I guess that the "new math" I studied failed to prepare me for the age of "meta-analytic calculations."

To the authors, it is probably "below them" to have to expalin, in plain English, what these formulae might be.

The ommission of a similar analysis of "liberalism" convinces me this is NOT serious research.

It doesn't matter what "calculations" were done. What matters is that they did a meta-study. That's pseudo-science code for "We were too lazy to do any real research, so we just read other people's stuff and interpreted it the way we wanted."

It's a growing phenomenon in the social "sciences."
