Washington: People who are ignored by others online may feel just as bad as if they had been excluded in person, according to a new study. "If you've ever felt bad about being 'ignored' on Facebook you're not alone," said Joshua Smyth, professor of bio-behavioural health and of medicine at Penn State, who co-authored the study. "Facebook - with its approximately 800 million users - serves as a place to...

Washington: Popular music promotes sexual aggression among adolescents, says a research. Researchers looked at the trend of rising use of sexually explicit lyrics in music. "Popular music can teach young men to be sexually aggressive and treat women as objects while often teaching young women that their value to society is to provide sexual pleasure for others," said the study by Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah. They analyzed the...

Your colleague doesn't show up when a big deliverable is due. He is not answering his phone or responding to messages and the entire team needs to scramble to make up for his absence. He claims he was ill, though he has done this a number of times before. He is witty and masterful at manipulating emotions, thus able to maintain his position at the company. We all have our...

London: Some people are born 'yes men', thanks to their genes which make them more likely to follow other people's directives. Researchers found that coming to a decision often involves listening to two parts of the brain - one that relies on taking advice and the other on experience. The brain weighs up the often opposing views and then comes to a decision to take an action. But Brown University...

London: Women are more than twice as likely as men to have regrets about their romantic life. When it comes to admitting regrets, romance happens to be the most common source of nagging anxiety, particularly among women, according to an American researcher. In the field of romantic relationships, everyone seems to have made decisions they had come to regret, says Neal Roese, professor of marketing at Northwestern University's Kellogg School...

Washington: A sleepless night can not only make us cranky and moody but also trigger euphoria, potentially leading to poor judgment and addictive behaviour. Researchers at the University of California and Harvard Medical School studied the brains of healthy young adults and found that their pleasure circuitry got a big boost after a missed night's sleep. But that same nerve cell pathway that stimulates feelings of euphoria, reward and motivation...

Washington: Ever wanted to yell at your difficult boss, but swallowed your anger? Researchers say such acts of suppressing your emotions can actually be counterproductive, as it can provoke more acts of aggressiveness. The study, by the universities of Texas and Minnesota, can have an important bearing on reducing violence and helping law enforcers and soldiers cope with long hours and stressful situations. The psychologists found that subjects who were...

Sydney: Men and women do not think, react and behave differently in a relationship, an Australian study has found. The study by Deakin University of Melbourne among 75 couples aged 19-63 and together for an average of 15 years, has found no evidence of gender differences, the Herald Sun reported. A team headed by researcher Gery Karantzas asked the couples about their relationship satisfaction, attachment style, trust, level of support,...

London: The old adage that birds of a same feather flock together seems to be true even when tweeting. A team of researchers who have studied millions of tweets on the microblogging site Twitter found that happier people tend to tweet together and it's also true for those who are less happy, the NewScientist reported. It has long been known that social networks tend to have an "assortative" character, which...

Washington: Self-control is more likely to make you behave aggressively towards others. This is often seen with people on diets, who are prone to irritability and anger, says a new study. "We set out to examine whether exerting self-control can indeed lead to a wide range of angry behaviour and preferences subsequently..." study authors David Gal of Northwestern University and Wendy Liu of University of California write. Researchers found that...

London: Children still enjoy playing traditional games like skipping and clapping in the playground despite the lure of mobile phones, computer games, and television, a study published on Tuesday found. Playground games are "alive and well ... they happily co-exist with media-based play, the two informing each other," it said. Contrary to popular beliefs, schoolyard games are "not overwhelmed, marginalized or threatened by the quantity and plurality of available media,"...

Boston: New dads who suffer from depression are three times more likely to spank their babies than those fathers who have a happier state of mind, a new study says. Depressed fathers are also less likely to be involved in everyday parent-child activities like reading to their children, according to researchers at the University of Michigan. Researchers interviewed 1,746 fathers of one-year olds from 20 large cities in the US...

London: Gender stereotypes regarding mathematics may develop as early as the second grade, says a new study. Children applied the stereotype to themselves: boys identified themselves with the subject, whereas girls did not. The "maths is for boys" stereotype has been used as part of the explanation for why so few women pursue science, maths and engineering careers. The cultural stereotype may nudge girls to think that "maths is not...

London: Grumpy aged men now have a good reason to cheer up -- they'll outlive optimists, says a study. Researchers have found that being cantankerous is the key to reaching old age -- this is because happier characters are likely to take more risks through their lives including eating unhealthy foods, drinking and smoking. The findings, part of a 90-year study, cast doubt on reports that loving marriages, active social...
