Ugh, I am new here, but probably sprinkling it with links? Main posts tend to be heavy with linkage, preferably to studies or other articles, on-or offsite that reference studies. I have the impression that the community prefers heavily linked articles, either because the links point to things that can be interpreted as evidence, such as studies, but perhaps even more because they show the whole thing is not just something happening in the authors head, but is connected with reality, even if the links simply reference other people's opinions at least they demonstrate it is something happening in a lot of heads, and as such at least part of the reality of human psychology... they also demonstrate the diligence of trying to research the topic.
