Why this is better

The body text fix for the Mar/Oatley 2006 paper's journal (Journal of Research in Personality, not Cognition) had landed correctly, but the same stale unverified journal name survived in both the bibliography/references list entry and the invisible FAQ (JSON-LD) field. Fixed both locations to match the corrected body text and verified via re-fetch that no stale 'Cognition' reference to this paper remains anywhere in the post.
