Is it just me or does this research strike you as pointless? As you say ZTD, all it hints at (and I won't say "proved" because the test group was far too small to be meaningful) is what we already know. I was also a bit confused by paras 3 and 4 which seemed to contradict the rest of the article. These people need to get out and get a real job.
However, I do know that when I'm feeling down, I want to spend, on pretty much anything, I don't really care. But, when I'm really really down, I still want to spend, but I feel so bad that I just can't see anything to buy. Wierd huh

I agree. That is seriously bad, pointless research
It evidences nothing at all.
