| Views you can use? How online ratings affect your judgment Posted: 08 Aug 2013 11:21 AM PDT Positive comments create an illusory snowball effect, while negative responses get cancelled out.  |
| Our brains can (unconsciously) save us from temptation Posted: 08 Aug 2013 09:45 AM PDT Inhibitory self control -- not picking up a cigarette, not having a second drink, not spending when we should be saving -- can operate without our awareness or intention.  |
| Cellphone use may not cause more car crashes Posted: 08 Aug 2013 09:40 AM PDT A new study uses data from a major cellphone provider and accident reports to contradict previous findings that connected cellphone use to increased crash risk. The findings also raise doubts about the traditional cost-benefit analyses used by states that have, or are, implementing cellphone-driving bans as a way to promote safety.  |
| Belief in precognition increases sense of control over life Posted: 07 Aug 2013 05:48 PM PDT People given scientific evidence supporting our ability to predict the future feel a greater sense of control over their lives, according to new research.  |
| Tracking Twitter may enhance monitoring of food safety at restaurants Posted: 07 Aug 2013 10:45 AM PDT A new system could tell you how likely it is for you to become ill if you visit a particular restaurant by "listening" to the tweets from other restaurant patrons.  |
