| Dog jealousy: Study suggests primordial origins for the 'green-eyed monster' Posted: 23 Jul 2014 11:17 AM PDT Dogs exhibit jealous behaviors. The first experimental test of jealousy in dogs supports the view that there may be a more basic form of jealousy, which evolved to protect social bonds from interlopers. |
| Age of puberty in girls influenced by which parent 'imprinted' genes are inherited from Posted: 23 Jul 2014 10:14 AM PDT The age at which girls reach sexual maturity is influenced by 'imprinted' genes, a small sub-set of genes whose activity differs depending on which parent passes on that gene, according to new research. |
| How stress hormones promote brain's building of negative memories Posted: 23 Jul 2014 10:12 AM PDT Scientists have discovered a key component to better understanding how traumatic memories may be strengthened in women. Their study's findings suggest that developing clinical treatments that could lower norepinephrine levels immediately following a traumatic event might offer a way to prevent this memory-enhancing mechanism from occurring. |
| Strategy proposed for preventing diseases of aging Posted: 23 Jul 2014 10:12 AM PDT Researchers argue that medicine focuses too much on fighting diseases individually instead of concentrating on interventions that prevent multiple chronic diseases and extend healthy lifespan. They call for moving forward with strategies that have been shown to delay aging in animals. In addition to promoting a healthy diet and regular exercise, these strategies include manipulating molecular pathways that slow aging and promote healthy longevity. |
| Wide-faced men negotiate nearly $2,200 larger signing bonus Posted: 23 Jul 2014 09:39 AM PDT Having a wider face helps men when they negotiate for themselves but hurts them when they are negotiating in a situation that requires compromise. Additionally, men who are more attractive are better collaborators compared to less attractive men. |
| Life expectancy gains threatened as more older Americans suffer from multiple medical conditions Posted: 23 Jul 2014 07:59 AM PDT With nearly four in five older Americans living with multiple chronic medical conditions, a new study finds that the more ailments you have after retirement age, the shorter your life expectancy. The analysis, one of the first to examine the burden of multiple chronic conditions on life expectancy among the elderly, may help explain why increases in life expectancy among older Americans are slowing. |
| Retail pricing strategies: Do consumers prefer Deep Discounts or Everyday Low Prices? Posted: 22 Jul 2014 09:57 AM PDT Sometimes finding the best bang for your buck feels like a wild goose chase. It's hard to know which stores offer the best prices at any given time. According to a new study, when trying to maximize savings, consumers will choose retailers they believe offer the lowest prices the majority of the time. |
| I’ll have what he's having? How consumers make choices about new products Posted: 22 Jul 2014 09:57 AM PDT Have you found yourself at a fancy restaurant trying to impress new friends or in a foreign country and unsure of what to order? Not wanting to appear foolish, you just go along with everyone else. According to a new study, we're more likely to copy other people's choices when we lack social acceptance or enough information to make an informed decision. |
| Empathy or justice: What makes consumers donate more to charity? Posted: 22 Jul 2014 09:57 AM PDT Have you ever received a request for help and wondered how deserving the recipients are of your donation? This way of thinking may seem inconsistent with your moral values, especially if you consider yourself an otherwise compassionate and empathic person. A new study suggests that moral identity decreases donations when recipients are deemed to be responsible for their plight. |
| Why do challenging tasks make consumers believe drugs wear off faster? Posted: 22 Jul 2014 09:57 AM PDT Imagine that you have a cup of coffee and sit down to read People magazine. How long do you think the energy boost will last before you reach for another cup? Would you need more caffeine if you tried to read War and Peace? A new study finds that consumers wrongly believe that pharmacological products such as coffee and aspirin lose their effectiveness when they engage in more strenuous activities. |
