| Sleep vs. cuddling: Study looks at what happens after sex Posted: 21 Jan 2012 09:01 AM PST According to a recent study by evolutionary psychologists, the tendency to fall asleep first after sex is associated with greater partner desire for bonding and affection. |
| Dual-earner families: Mum and Dad share the workload, Norwegian study suggests Posted: 20 Jan 2012 03:29 PM PST For the first time research is being carried out on the degree to which dual-earner families in Norway share paid and unpaid work. It is a key aim of Norwegian policy to promote an equal distribution of paid and unpaid work among dual-earner couples with children. The researchers conclude that roughly 40 per cent of the couples have a gender-equal relationship in that the mother and the father share both unpaid and paid work equally. |
| Why do smells make some people sick? Posted: 20 Jan 2012 03:29 PM PST Do you get a headache from the perfume of the lady next to you at the table? Do cleaning solutions at work make your nose itch?

This hypersensitivity can be the result of an inability to get used to smells. |

Posted: 19 Jan 2012 10:04 PM PST Psychological research has found that religious people feel great about themselves, with a tendency toward higher social self-esteem and better psychological adjustment than non-believers. But a new study finds that this is only true in countries that put a high value on religion. |

The results are largely unexpected: the best male marathon runners over 65 and the best female marathon runners over 45 have consistently improved their performance over the last 30 years. |
