Yeah, I quickly reading through the methods and results, the results here are pretty solid. There's a couple of things to keep in mind though: they have people reading stories on their computer about different fictitious protests and then have people rating their support and whatnot. It's hard to say how much this actually translates to real issues, and how much participants are simply playing the role. The second thing is that these were primarily studies run over the internet using Mechanical Turk, and it's reasonable to have suspicions about how high quality that data actually is, given the pool and the motivations.
