| Men married to women with higher incomes more likely to use erectile dysfunction medication Posted: 08 Feb 2013 03:27 PM PST If that headline doesn't grab your attention, new research on the "Psychological and Sexual Costs of Income Comparison in Marriage" should. The study shows that men married to women with higher incomes are more likely to use erectile dysfunction medication than their male breadwinner counterparts. |
| Having a Tony Stark in the office is fine as long as you hire a Pepper Potts Posted: 08 Feb 2013 12:28 PM PST Not every company has an Iron Man, but many have a Tony Stark -- a highly powerful, intensely-focused individual who often ignores risk in order to achieve his or her goals. That's usually a good thing -- as long as companies make sure to also hire a Pepper Potts to keep their powerful leaders grounded, according to new research. |
| Peer review matters to the public Posted: 08 Feb 2013 09:46 AM PST A new guide to peer review has just been launched to help the public make sense of research claims. People are bombarded with claims in newspapers and on the internet that are based on scientific studies. When faced with a headline that suggests an Alzheimer's drug increases the risk of heart attack or that watching TV is bad for children's mental health, or that pesticides are causing a decline in bee populations, people have to work out what to believe. Which claims should be taken seriously? Which are 'scares'? |
| New insight on relationship between parents, preschoolers and obesity Posted: 08 Feb 2013 08:00 AM PST While sugary drinks, lack of exercise and genetics contribute to a growing number of overweight American children, new research reveals how a mom's eating habits and behavior at the dinner table can influence her preschooler's obesity risk. |
| Using Twitter to predict the influence of lifestyle on health Posted: 08 Feb 2013 08:00 AM PST Researchers showed last year how Twitter can be used to predict how likely it is for a Twitter user to become sick. They have now used Twitter to model how other factors -- social status, exposure to pollution, interpersonal interaction and others -- influence health. |
| Mediocre managers as damaging as the David Brents of the workplace, according to new study Posted: 08 Feb 2013 07:59 AM PST Mediocre managers are just as damaging to employee well-being as the more outlandish 'David Brent' style nightmare bosses, according to new research. |
| Stress at work very unlikely to cause cancer Posted: 07 Feb 2013 04:22 PM PST Work-related stress is not linked to the development of colorectal, lung, breast or prostate cancers, a new study suggests. |
| Asians are far more likely than Anglos to be college-educated Posted: 07 Feb 2013 08:49 AM PST Asians (about 60 percent) are much more likely to be college-educated than Anglos (under 40 percent), according to the Houston Area Asian Survey. |
| Going along means getting along -- and that's not always good Posted: 07 Feb 2013 04:42 AM PST Caving in to social pressure -- such as saying that you love a movie because friends do -- makes for good vibes about being part of a group and can produce more of the same conduct, according to a sociological study. The finding has implications for people ranging from philanthropists to gangs, researchers said. |
