| Why parents think your partner isn't good enough Posted: 18 Sep 2013 06:16 PM PDT It is common for parents to influence mate choice -- from arranged marriages to more subtle forms of persuasion -- but they often disagree with their children about what makes a suitable partner. A new study has found an evolutionary explanation for why some parents try to control who their children pair up with. |
| Different stories play different roles in patients' health decision-making Posted: 18 Sep 2013 03:09 PM PDT Health communicators have debated whether stories should be included in patient decision-aids (which are informational materials designed to help patients make educated choices about their health) because they worry stories are too biased. Now, a researcher has found that stories used in decision-aids don't necessarily bias patients' decision-making; rather, certain types of stories can help patients confidently make informed decisions that fit their individual health needs. |
| What's that smell? Ten basic odor categories sniffed out with math Posted: 18 Sep 2013 03:04 PM PDT Taste can be classified into five flavors that we sense, but how many odors can we smell? There are likely about 10 basic categories of odor. |
| Shifting employee bonuses from self to others increases satisfaction and productivity at work Posted: 18 Sep 2013 03:04 PM PDT Providing employees with a bonus to spend on charities or co-workers may increase job satisfaction and team sales. |

Researchers are studying brown fat with a goal of fighting obesity. |
| New teaching method improves math skills, closes gender gap in young students Posted: 18 Sep 2013 10:23 AM PDT When early elementary math teachers ask students to explain their problem-solving strategies and then tailor instruction to address specific gaps in their understanding, students learn significantly more than those taught using a more traditional approach. This was the conclusion of a yearlong study of nearly 5,000 kindergarten and first-grade students. |
| Moderate exercising encourages a healthier lifestyle Posted: 18 Sep 2013 06:08 AM PDT An interdisciplinary research study explains why moderate exercising is more motivating than hard training. |
| Women underrepresented, sexualized in weekend sports reporting Posted: 18 Sep 2013 06:07 AM PDT Sunday newspapers promote the weekend as a male domain centred around their activities and interests, according to new research. |
| Binge eating more likely to lead to health risks in men Posted: 17 Sep 2013 12:37 PM PDT Binge eating is a problem affecting both men and women, however obese men who binge are more likely than their female counterparts to have elevated cholesterol and high blood pressure, finds a new study. |
