The overall tone reveals strong support for the study’s findings, with phrases like 'celebrity worship reduces IQ' and 'makes you stupid,' illustrating the dismissive and negative perception of celebrity admiration. Posts discussing the research methodology and emphasizing the correlation between idolization and cognitive performance indicate active engagement, while expressions like 'better to spend time building something real' reflect skepticism about celebrity obsession, contributing to a nuanced understanding of the topic.
AgreementStrong disagreement
Most discussions strongly support the study’s conclusion that celebrity worship correlates with lower cognitive performance, with many posts explicitly stating the negative association.
InterestModerate interest
While the topic intrigues some, especially with direct references to research, others show limited curiosity, reflecting moderate interest rather than passionate engagement.
EngagementHigh engagement
Several posts delve into study details, mentioning evidence, methodology, and implications, demonstrating deep engagement with the research findings.
ImpactModerate impact
The discussions could influence perceptions about celebrity culture and intelligence, but overall, the impact appears modest as some dismiss the findings or lack deeper critical analysis.
Abstract in brief
The study explores the relationship between celebrity worship and cognitive skills, using Cattell's two-factor theory of intelligence, and finds that higher levels of celebrity worship are linked to lower cognitive performance among Hungarian adults.
It employs an online survey of 1,763 participants, measuring intelligence through vocabulary and digit symbol tests, along with assessing celebrity worship, self-esteem, and socioeconomic variables.
Results show that celebrity worship correlates with decreased cognitive test scores even when accounting for demographic and socioeconomic factors, suggesting a direct but limited influence on cognitive performance.
Na vdd existem estudos mostrando que pessoas menos inteligentes tem mais tendências a idolatria de celebridades, e provavelmente serve pra religião tmb, independente de fator socioeconômico, mas é óbvio que a gente vê mais em pessoas de baixa escolaridade

Aqui eles fizeram um teste e literalmente viram que quem idolatra celebridades tem menor desempenho cognitivo

تحقیقات ثابت کرده ارتباط مستقیمی بین طرفداران تعصبی و بهره هوشی پایین وجود داره ( توی داریوش و ابی فن ها تعصب زیاده ):

And to be honest, you don’t have to be specialized in cognitive functions to know that critical thinking and other things are severely impaired in dumbs who lick celebs’ asses to the point of worshiping and
Taking this opportunity to note that celebrity worship is often a sign of lowered intelligence and stunted critical thinking. If someone literally OBSESSES over these things (i.e. stan twitter) they're genuinely not very smart in any regard.

@CalltoActivism I can't find any study specifically done on people who worship Trump. There was a study that showed "there is a direct association between celebrity worship and poorer performance on the cognitive tests".

This study suggests a direct association between celebrity worshippers and low cognitive function.

@Mihali_Mow Наука говорит нам следующее.
Результаты показывают, что существует прямая связь между поклонением знаменитостям и более низкими показателями в когнитивных тестах, которая не может быть объяснена демографическими и социально-экономическими факторами. https://t.co/tDJfkgRg3C
