Survey Results: PMS Symptoms

A short survey-analysis replicating two Aella Twitter-poll findings on the ACX survey: women with PMS symptoms are markedly more likely to believe in the supernatural (30% vs 48%, p<0.001) and somewhat more anxious/neurotic. Scott is scrupulously honest about post-hoc dichotomization, exploratory multiple comparisons ('bad practice and for exploratory purposes only'), and the confusing null results (no political correlation; no PMS link for other putatively-psychosomatic conditions). Aella's culture-internalization/suggestibility hypothesis vs Sebastian's hormone hypothesis are both left unresolved ('I'm pretty confused by this whole area'). Real replication work, but brief and inconclusive.

Quality 58 · Solid. Solid: does genuine, methodologically self-aware replication of a surprising finding, but it is short, exploratory, and reaches no conclusion.

Claude’s paradigm shift 38 · Slight. Slight-moderate: confirms an odd correlation; the psychosomatic-belief hypothesis is Aella's, not originated here.

Real-world impact 1 · Negligible. Negligible-minor: a curiosity within the survey-data readership.
