The exact change

Before

Research published in the Journal of Applied Psychology found that asking for advice is associated with increased perceptions of competence, not decreased.

After

Research published in Management Science (Brooks, Gino & Schweitzer) found that asking for advice is associated with increased perceptions of competence, not decreased.

Why this is better

The cited study on asking for advice and perceived competence is real (Brooks, Gino & Schweitzer, "Smart People Ask for (My) Advice") but it was published in Management Science, not the Journal of App
