OK, can somebody ask Jonathan Haidt why the first citation in the second endnote in his "World Happiness Report" chapter about the evils of social media is an irrelevant article, and why the second is a Substack post that doesn't link to a study?

...Lindsay told a room of motivation researchers that some of the surveys we've used for decades just don't mean the same thing to students as they do to us. Shocking! So spoiler alert: we need better measures! This paper provides some ideas for what "better" surveys (+teaching!) could look like.2/2
