I was ready to dismiss the article on the basis of its sensationalist writing, but I wanted to dig into the study as well. After reading through it, I asked my wife, who's a sociologist and researcher, what she thought about these conclusions based on the survey data. She said that collecting survey results in this kind of longitudinal study is considered a valid source of data about trends like this, but she said the obvious caveat is that you can't determine causation or what the practical impact is. The article does not hesitate to state hypothesis as fact, which is probably where the dismissals are coming from.
