The study suggests that young children's ability to cooperate and share is more developed than previously thought, and may be linked to the evolution of mutually beneficial arrangements.
Researchers found that people consistently overestimated the slant of stairs and escalators by 18-19 degrees, regardless of viewing position. This challenges common ideas about how we perceive inclines in general.
A new study of people from 128 countries found that those who are satisfied with their country tend to have better lives, especially those with low incomes or living in poor countries. For people with high incomes and Western countries, well-being is linked to personal factors like health, standard of living, and job satisfaction.
A new study published in Psychological Science found that people are more likely to abandon a failing investment when they focus on their hopes and aspirations, rather than their duties and obligations. This suggests that changing one's mindset can help individuals make more rational decisions about continuing or ending a project.
A study published in Psychological Science found that women are more attracted to men when they're uncertain about how much he likes them. Women who were told the men liked them most or average were less attractive than those who didn't know their interest level.
A study found that younger immigrants (under age 15) tend to identify more with their new culture as they settle, whereas older immigrants may struggle to adapt. The researchers surveyed people who immigrated at various ages and found that those who arrived before age 15 quickly came to see themselves as part of the new culture.

Children from poorer families underperform in school and cognitive tasks compared to their wealthier peers, suggesting an environmental factor is suppressing their genetic potential. Further research aims to understand the specif...
A new report reviews the psychological effects of disasters, finding that less than 30% of adults experience severe, lasting problems, while most people recover from passing distress. Factors influencing recovery include age, socioeconomic status, and economic resources.
The partnership will bring new benefits to members, including an online-only relaunch of the Wildlife Society Bulletin. Wiley-Blackwell's diverse publication portfolio and global reach make them a natural fit for publishing The Journal of Wildlife Management and Wildlife Monographs.
Researchers found DOSS, a dispersant ingredient, concentrated in deepwater plumes at depths up to three-quarters of a mile after the spill; it was detected over 200 miles from the well two months later. The study's findings are inconclusive on the effectiveness of dispersants in breaking up oil coming out of the wellhead.
Researchers found people on ships are steadier when focusing on the horizon, unlike on land where they sway more when gazing far away. This phenomenon may help differentiate between body movement and ship movement, potentially predicting motion sickness.
Research found that low-dose aspirin decreases small bowel blood flow, correlating with mucosal injury. Rebamipide does not decrease small bowel blood flow, suggesting a potential therapeutic strategy for aspirin-induced damage.
A retrospective study found that acute diverticulitis in younger patients (less severe disease, but higher recurrence rate) suggests that same guidelines for treatment should be applied to both age groups. The clinical course of uncomplicated acute diverticulitis is similar between older and younger patients.
A study found that couples with matching language styles, including function words, were more likely to want future contact and stay together. The research used computer programs to analyze conversations and online chats between dating couples.
