| Risk of depression influenced by quality of relationships Posted: 30 Apr 2013 04:40 PM PDT After analyzing data from nearly 5,000 American adults, researchers found that the quality of a person's relationships with a spouse, family and friends predicted the likelihood of major depression disorder in the future, regardless of how frequently their social interactions took place.  |
| Weekend binge drinking could leave lasting liver damage Posted: 30 Apr 2013 04:40 PM PDT Long after a hangover, a night of bad decisions might take a bigger toll on the body than previously understood. A new study has revealed a unique connection between binge drinking and the risk for developing alcoholic liver disease and a variety of other health problems.  |
| Encountering connections may make life feel more meaningful Posted: 30 Apr 2013 12:16 PM PDT Experiencing connections, regularities, and coherence in their environment may lead people to feel a greater sense of meaning in life, according to a new study.  |
| Good days, bad days: When should you make sacrifices in a relationship? Posted: 30 Apr 2013 11:21 AM PDT A new study suggests that while making sacrifices in a romantic relationship is generally a positive thing, doing so on days when you are feeling especially stressed may not be beneficial.  |
| New zooming technique for entering text into smartwatches Posted: 30 Apr 2013 10:15 AM PDT Researchers have developed a solution to the problem of entering text into the next generation of ultra-small computers. Called ZoomBoard, this text entry technique is based on the familiar QWERTY keyboard layout. Though the full keyboard is impossibly small on a watch-size display, simply tapping the screen once or twice will enlarge an individual key until it can be comfortably and accurately pressed.  |
| Secondhand smoke presents greater threat to teen girls than boys Posted: 30 Apr 2013 10:14 AM PDT When teenage girls are exposed to secondhand smoke at home, they tend to have lower levels of the "good" form of cholesterol that reduces heart disease risk, according to a recent study.  |
| What triggers those late-night snack cravings? Posted: 30 Apr 2013 08:03 AM PDT The circadian system increases hunger and cravings for sweet, starchy and salty foods in the evenings, according to new research. Eating higher-calorie foods in the evening can be counterproductive if weight loss is a goal since the human body handles nutrients differently depending on the time of day.  |
| Why people quit and come back to Facebook Posted: 30 Apr 2013 07:59 AM PDT With more than a billion active accounts worldwide, it can be easy to forget that some people don't use Facebook. A new study suggests that "non-use" of the social networking site is fairly common – a quarter of Facebook users take breaks from the site by deactivating their account, and one in 10 completely quit.  |
| Shedding light on the long shadow of childhood adversity Posted: 30 Apr 2013 07:57 AM PDT Childhood adversity can lead to chronic physical and mental disability in adult life and have an effect on the next generation, underscoring the importance of research, practice and policy in addressing this issue, according to a new article.  |
| Strong personalities are weak when faced with change Posted: 30 Apr 2013 06:16 AM PDT Management teams with members who have strong personality traits have difficulty adapting to rapid changes in their surroundings, according to new study.  |
