−A silver medalist, research has found, is on average less happy than a bronze medalist
+A silver medalist, research by Medvec, Madey, and Gilovich (1995) found, is on average less happy than a bronze medalist
Why this is better
Verified the fix is live in the article body: the medalist happiness finding is now correctly attributed to Medvec, Madey, and Gilovich (1995) rather than left unattributed/implied as Kahneman and Tversky. No stale occurrence found in the FAQ. Backfilling record with confirmed correct text; no further edits needed.
