I've got the impression that these findings are mostly based on studies done on college students and children. I'm not sure how much I should trust them to generalize (and apply to me specifically), especially with regards to hypocrisy and self-justification theory.

Luke, are you aware of similar studies done on not-neurotypical populations, like say schizophrenics, experienced meditators, autists or experts in analytical fields?
