| Weight training linked to reduced risk of type 2 diabetes Posted: 06 Aug 2012 01:18 PM PDT Men who do weight training regularly -- for example, for 30 minutes per day, five days per week -- may be able to reduce their risk of type 2 diabetes by up to 34 percent, according to a new study. And if they combine weight training and aerobic exercise, such as brisk walking or running, they may be able to reduce their risk even further -- up to 59 percent.  |
| Posted: 06 Aug 2012 12:14 PM PDT Young children who are able to pay attention and persist on a task have a 50 percent greater chance of completing college, according to a new study. Surprisingly, achievement in reading and math did not significantly predict whether or not the students completed college. And the good news for parents and educators, the researchers said, is that attention and persistence skills are malleable and can be taught.  |
| Generic language helps fuel stereotypes Posted: 06 Aug 2012 12:12 PM PDT Hearing generic language to describe a category of people, such as "boys have short hair," can lead children to endorse a range of other stereotypes about the category, a new study has found.  |

| Growing up grateful gives teens multiple mental health benefits Posted: 06 Aug 2012 06:39 AM PDT Grateful teens are more likely than their less grateful peers to be happy, less likely to abuse drugs and alcohol and less likely to have behavior problems at school, according to new research.  |
