These are what my happy nieces do.

What is the author's source? A paywalled summarizing study that analyzed data from other studies: http://psycnet.apa.org/doiLanding?doi=10.1037%2Femo0000403

- Was any primary research conducted? You'll have to pay $12 to find out.

Yes it is. More is not "largely different", regardless of study rigor.
