NEW YORK – A study published on self-doubt this week in Psychology Today reports and discredits breakthrough evidence of the emotional ailment’s causes and effects. While the new research suggests a strong link between people who experience self-doubt and traumatic childhood occurrences of verbal abuse, the report was quick to point out that the researchers involved have never been very good at experimentation, and they probably should have asked their boyfriends for help. Also noted in the study were correlative links between self-doubt and self-destructive behavior such as compulsive gambling, overeating, and drug addiction. The psychologists working on the study, however, added that even if they wanted to further explore those links, they would probably just mess it up.
