If you want to perform at your peak, you should carefully consider how you discuss your past actions. A new study reveals that the way a statement is phrased (and specifically, how the verbs are used), affects our memory of an event being described and may also influence our behavior.
These findings may indicate that individuals with specific polymorphisms may be more susceptible to anxiety disorders by being more prone to developing fear and being less likely to overcome that fear by common cognitive behavioral treatments which are based on the extinction principle.
The researchers discovered that there was a link between ageism early in life and poor heart health later on. That is, study volunteers who viewed old age in negative terms were much more likely to experience some kind of cardiovascular disorder over the next four decades.
The findings indicate that the dialectical bootstrapping method (that is, thinking about why your own answer might be incorrect and then averaging across estimates) resulted in more accurate answers compared to simply making a second guess without considering why the first answer may be wrong.
When we are faced with a decision, and we're not sure what to do, usually we'll just go with the majority opinion. When do we begin adopting this strategy of "following the crowd"? A new report in Psychological Science suggests that this tendency starts very early on, around preschool age.
This study suggests that stress exaggerates the reflection effect; while exposed to stress volunteers were more conservative when choosing between potentially positive outcomes and were riskier when choosing between gambles that could result in a loss, compared to volunteers who were not stressed.
Exerting self-control is exhausting. What about thinking of other people exerting self-control? A new study in Psychological Science suggests that our own self-control can be worn out simply by mentally simulating another person acting with self-control.
The results of a new study show that simply imagining a posture may have effects that are similar to actually assuming the pose, suggesting that our "peripersonal space" (the space around our body) can be extended into a space where an imagined posture would take us.
The results showed that feeling good encouraged the volunteers to explore values that are inconsistent with their cultural norms. The researchers surmise that positive feelings may send a signal that it's safe to broaden one's view of the world and to explore novel notions of one's self.
The results indicate that inhibition of return occurs during visual search tasks, but not during other visual tasks. That is, volunteers in the search group were slower to shift their eyes to previously fixated locations than to new locations, consistent with earlier findings of inhibition of return.
