The article says the authors are one Kauffmann & Libby, and implies it was published in the last year. So:
Go to Google Scholar, punch in 'kauffman libby', limit to 'Since 2012'; and the correct paper ("Changing beliefs and behavior through experience-taking") is the first hit with fulltext available on the righthand side as the text link "[PDF] from tiltfactor.org".
I hope this will be helpful for the future.
