| Small lifestyle changes may have big impact on reducing stroke risk Posted: 06 Jun 2013 03:57 PM PDT Making small lifestyle changes could reduce your risk of having a stroke, according to a new study.  |
| Facebook: A confidence boost for first-gen college students Posted: 06 Jun 2013 12:51 PM PDT Facebook connections can help first-generation college applicants believe in their abilities to both apply to school and excel once they've enrolled, according to a new study.  |
| MRI study: Breastfeeding boosts babies' brain growth Posted: 06 Jun 2013 11:10 AM PDT A study using brain images from "quiet" MRI machines adds to the growing body of evidence that breastfeeding improves brain development in infants. Breastfeeding alone produced better brain development than a combination of breastfeeding and formula, which produced better development than formula alone.  |
| Excessive Facebook use can damage relationships, study suggests Posted: 06 Jun 2013 11:08 AM PDT Individuals who use Facebook excessively are far more likely to experience Facebook–related conflict with their romantic partners, which then may cause negative relationship outcomes including emotional and physical cheating, breakup and divorce.  |
| Brand leadership is unlikely to be regained once lost Posted: 06 Jun 2013 08:00 AM PDT Business history is littered with the remains of fallen giants. Yuban coffee, Fels Naptha laundry soap, Bobbie Brooks, Zenith, Kodak -- all these brands were leaders in their time, and then something changed. At some point, they were knocked off the top rung and never got back there again. That might sound strange -- leaders transformed into also-rans -- but new research shows this story to be all too common.  |
| Most youth football player concussions occur during games, not practice Posted: 06 Jun 2013 07:17 AM PDT Despite the lack of data regarding the rates of concussions in youth football, concerns have been raised about the sport being dangerous for this age group. Researchers have analyzed the incidence rates of concussion in youth football players in this age group and found a significantly higher incidence during games compared to practice sessions.  |
| Listening to music while driving has very little effect on driving performance, study suggests Posted: 06 Jun 2013 07:15 AM PDT Most motorists enjoy listening to the radio or their favourite CD while driving. Many of them switch on the radio without thinking. But is this safe? Experiments carried out by an environment and traffic psychologist suggest that it makes very little difference. In fact the effects that were measured turned out to be positive. Music helps drivers to focus, particularly on long, monotonous roads.  |
