    It feels like I don't even have to read the abstact to know the content...

    Gosh, just read it. Same old. Taylorism applied to psychology...
    Always the same rotten methodology, leading to always the same conclusion.

    Where does the money come from to do these studies?? Seriously?? Why not just do some psychosocial studies on chronically ill patients in general, I'm sure social help would be very useful for a lot of people. Why do the same studies on every disease, it doesn't make any sense....

    Our dear Prime Minister employs colourful language to describe such funding. Money "spaffed up the wall".

    They have some strange customs at Eton.

    Ah, another Chalder study where you know the outcome before reading it because the outcome is always the same, the methodology is the same and nothing actually matters. At this point I'm pretty sure that on every new paper where her name appears at least half of the content is literally copy-pasted from a template. Almost all of Chalder's research and papers are nearly the exact same thing, and equally substance-free.

    As usual of course "catastrophizing" as predictor essentially shows that self-assessment of disability is relatively accurate. When you read the details the substance is exactly identical as with ME, MUS (wait, no, SSD) and basically every other BPS paper.
    So they wasted biomedical funding on psychosocial crap? At least if there's one thing that's not missing in HIV research it's funding but this is still blatant misuse of research funding.

    Neither Chalder nor any of her colleagues have any idea what fatigue is and it is freakishly embarrassing that she still gets funding for doing the same things over and over again in a circle, a genuine ouroboros of bullshit.
