A study found that people who appreciate weight-related humor tend to hold negative attitudes towards obese individuals, believing in stereotypes such as laziness and unintelligence. In contrast, those who dislike the humor are less likely to believe in these stereotypes.
A study by Bowling Green State University researchers suggests a correlation between excessive tanning and mental health symptoms such as OCD and BDD. The findings indicate that prevention messages may not be effective for those with these conditions, highlighting the need for further assessment and treatment.
A new study published in the Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research found that high-intensity interval training (HIIT) is beneficial for women, with a significant effect on cardiovascular performance compared to men. Women worked at a higher percentage of their maximum heart rate and oxygen consumption during HIIT.
A recent study by Bowling Green State University researchers found that applicants with a high body mass index (BMI) were less likely to be offered admission after an in-person interview. The study, published in the journal Obesity, followed 97 applicants and suggested that weight bias may be stronger for female applicants.
The US marriage rate has declined to 31.1 per 1,000 married women, a 60% decrease since 1970, with women's average age at first marriage reaching a historic high of nearly 27 years. The divorce rate remains high, with 15% of women separated or divorced, up from less than 1% in 1920.
Researchers identified thousands of species, including bacteria, fungi, and archaea, through DNA and RNA sequencing. The findings suggest the lake once connected to the ocean, with marine and freshwater species present.
A study by Bowling Green State University's National Center for Family and Marriage Research found that one-third of adults aged 45-63 are unmarried, with a more than 50% increase since 1980. Single baby boomers face economic and health vulnerabilities, including poverty, disability, and lack of health insurance.
A 24-month research project aims to develop a national profile of police integrity by analyzing police crime committed by sworn law enforcement officers. The study will determine the nature and extent of police crime in the US and how law enforcement agencies discipline officers who are arrested.
Bowling Green State University biology undergraduates will contribute to the Microbial Genome Annotation research program, analyzing microorganisms' genomes and gaining skills in genomics and bioinformatics. The project aims to sequence the genomes of all cultured bacteria and archaea, with BGSU students providing valuable input.
The National Center for Marriage Research at Bowling Green State University will investigate the relationship between family structure and well-being. Researchers will examine various aspects of marriage, including its role in child development and the impact of cohabitation, to inform policies and promote healthy marriages.
A Bowling Green State University biologist believes long-dormant influenza strains can be unleashed by melting ice in remote global outposts, posing a potential threat to human immunity.
Dr. Ray Larsen is working on understanding protein communication in bacteria, particularly the outer membrane's defensive barrier. His research aims to develop drugs that can break this barrier, rendering bacteria susceptible to human defenses and certain antibiotics.
Researchers aim to understand the impact of sanctification on families transitioning to parenthood, examining spiritual emotions and investment in family life. The four-year project will involve 160 couples in Toledo, Ohio, shedding light on spirituality's role in shaping parenting experiences.
A global team of RNA scientists will develop a common vocabulary and scientific concepts to facilitate communication and knowledge-sharing. The project aims to integrate RNA sequence and 3D structure databases to advance understanding of cellular growth and development, key to curing hereditary diseases.
