Hot or not? Men agree on attractiveness, women don’t
Hot or not? Men agree on the answer. Women don't. There is much more consensus among men about whom they find attractive than there is among women, according to a new study by Wake Forest University psychologist Dustin Wood and Claudia Brumbaugh of Queens College. "Men agree a lot more about who they find attractive and unattractive than women agree about who they find attractive and unattractive," says Wood, assistant professor of psychology. "This study shows we can quantify the extent to which men agree about which women are attractive and vice versa." More than 4,000 participants in the study rated photographs of ...
BPA found to leach from polycarbonate bottles into humans
Attention parents, athletes, and everyone using plastic bottles. Let the debate about the dangers of bisphenol A (BPA) and whether or not it leaches finally come to an end. A new study from Harvard School of Public Health (HSPH) researchers found that participants who drank for a week from polycarbonate bottles - the popular, hard-plastic used in drinking bottles and baby bottles - showed a two-thirds increase in their urine of the chemical BPA. Exposure to BPA, used in the manufacture of polycarbonate and other plastics, has been shown to interfere with reproductive development in animals and has been linked ...
Why you may lose that loving feeling after tying the knot
Will the partner who supports your hopes and aspirations while you are dating also help you fulfill important responsibilities and obligations that come with marriage? The answer to that question could make a difference in how satisfied you are after tying the knot. Dating couples whose dreams include marriage would do well to step back and reflect upon the type of support they'll need from their partners when they cross the threshold, a new Northwestern University study suggests. Believing a partner is there to help you grow into the person you aspire to be predicted higher relationship satisfaction for both dating and ...
How to reduce your energy costs and carbon footprint
In honor of Earth Day, I thought it would be great to share some different ways each and every one of us can help nurture our planet and promote a sustainable future for the next generation. I have the privilege of working with many top engineers at Chemical Engineering Progress Magazine published by the American Institute of Chemical Engineers. In a recent issue on sustainability, Robert Sylvester, a consultant at DuPont Engineering Research and Technology, wrote a perspective on how he was able to reduce his energy costs by $2000 in one year and his carbon footprint by one-third. While the article ...
Learn how to recession-proof your retirement and investments
If you watch the news, every day you'll see reports about how the market has dropped, how many people have lost their jobs, and how we are entering another Depression. But few news sources are telling you about the opportunities - opportunities like in no other time in history. Contrary to popular belief, we have what some are calling "the greatest financial opportunity in history." You can choose to participate in this recession - or - you can choose to participate in your progression. There are things you can do, strategies you can apply, ways you can position your portfolio, to not ...
Contrary to belief, romance can last in long-term relationships
Romance does not have to fizzle out in long-term relationships and progress into a companionship/friendship-type love, a new study has found. Romantic love can last a lifetime and lead to happier, healthier relationships. "Many believe that romantic love is the same as passionate/obsessive love," said lead researcher Bianca P. Acevedo, PhD, then at Stony Brook University (currently at University of California, Santa Barbara). "It isn't. Romantic love has the intensity, engagement and sexual chemistry that passionate love has, minus the obsessive component. Passionate or obsessive love includes feelings of uncertainty and anxiety. This kind of love helps drive the shorter relationships ...
