If you did the same study on the Barbie Doll as Bath University in England today, would it be the same results?

Update:

Back in 2005 this study was done, the female participants view of Barbie was not as favorable. They mutilated or dismembered them. They thought their actions showed maturity. Maturity is being able to handle more responsibility as one grows older. It is not by destruction of things. Collectors prove that clearly. Since there have been drastic natural and financial disasters after this study, I wonder to myself would the participants view them in a different way? We often see things differently as time passes.

The burning of Barbie dolls were fun for them. I'm comparing that University study with females in England with those in other countries to see if different locations change results.

    You won't know until you repeat the study.
