Citation

I attempted to track down the citation needed for the following line:

Research does, however, support the portion of Chapman's work on self-regulating behavior to match a partner's wants and needs.[citation needed]

I am not sure if what I have found is 'good enough' ('primary'?) or if it needs a subsection different than critisms since its technically a support?

Single studies are not usually very reliable. It's usually best to use review articles, which involve academics reading a bunch of studies and then interpreting the results for us. However if you were to add that Wiley link as a citation that's probably better than nothing. Should probably avoid ResearchGate links since ResearchGate is often a red flag for preprints. Not in this case, but still, I think using the Wiley link is better. Hope this helps. –Novem Linguae (talk) 22:31, 11 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Reception omits misogyny

As the existing reference to a Vox article quotes, the book overwhelmingly reflects the author's conservative gender politics, producing misogynistic advice. The studies are also limited exclusively to cisheterosexual white Christian couples. This is well established by references and entirely omitted in the Reception section. 2600:1700:2324:52DF:50DC:47C9:B4D:8484 (talk) 19:31, 29 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
