Do you believe the result about priming people with a $1500 bill and a $150 bill? That pattern matches perfectly to an infinite list of priming research that failed to replicate, so by default I would assume it is probably wrong.
The one about people scoring better after harvest makes a lot more sense since, like, it’s a real difference and not some priming thing, so I am not as skeptical about that.
I’d be interested in reading up on the replication problems with priming if you have any links. I wasn’t on guard for this sort of research, so it seemed plausible to me. All of this goes against our general intuitions that people need to feel their poverty to get motivated for working, so I’m more likely to accept scientific research than assume it’s wrong and that my intuitions are correct.
