Some of the studies don’t even involve real situations, they’re purely hypothetical.
Studies that are not about real situations by their nature are not good for thinking about real world impacts of ideas. It’s hard enough to get studies that use real situations to replicate in a meaningful way in psychology. There’s no intellectual basis for thinking that you can reliably expolate from studies about hypothetical situations like that to real world behavior.
A philsopher is the kind of person who can switch from a very skeptic position like being unsure whether chairs really exist to believing that he can extrapolate hypnothetical data to make predictions about complex real world interactions in remarkable speed.
