Psychologist goes through a meta-analysis that’s been done about the efficacy of trigger warnings. Seems like they have a bit of an axe to grind about their… horror writing career(?) but thought it was interesting. Thoughts?

Seems like it would be way more useful and accurate to just have a bunch of participants interact with a blog or something as a “focus group” and have trigger warnings that let them skip an article if they want to. Ask them to view a certain number and explain skipping is fine. Then after, ask some questions about their triggers and see what lines up. Did people who report certain triggers skip those articles? Seems like an easy way to set this study up and actually test if trigger warnings are useful. Would be even better if you could include people in the study who have documented triggers, but that’s a lot harder to manage
