Why this is better

Verified live: both journal names are already correct in body text and bibliography. The FAQ mentions Zajonc's 1968 paper and the Kunst-Wilson & Zajonc 1980 study (both legitimate, unrelated citations) and the Moreland & Beach 1992 study without naming a journal, so no fabrication was present there requiring a fix.
