Why this is better

Body text for all three fabrications described in this contribution's summary was already correctly fixed. However, the FAQ JSON-LD schema block (decoded via base64->json->base64->json) still carried the pre-correction journal name 'Journal of Experimental Social Psychology' for the Flore & Wicherts 2015 meta-analysis, contradicting the correct 'Journal of School Psychology' used in the body and bibliography. Corrected the FAQ answer text to match, re-encoded via the same 4-step op-sequence, and verified the fix landed cleanly on live re-fetch with no corruption to the other 4 FAQ items.
