| Birth season affects your mood in later life, new research suggests Posted: 18 Oct 2014 05:54 PM PDT New research shows that the season you are born has a significant impact on your risk of developing mood disorders.

| Major benefits for students who attend live theater, study finds Posted: 16 Oct 2014 01:59 PM PDT Field trips to live theater enhance literary knowledge, tolerance, and empathy among students, according to a study. The research team found that reading and watching movies of Hamlet and A Christmas Carol could not account for the increase in knowledge experienced by students who attended live performances of the plays. Students who attended live performances of the play also scored higher on the study's tolerance measure than the control group by a moderately large margin and were better able to recognize and appreciate what other people think and feel.  |
