| Marijuana use prior to pregnancy doubles risk of premature birth Posted: 17 Jul 2012 03:29 PM PDT Women who use marijuana can more than double the risk of giving birth to a baby prematurely.  |
| Exposure to sexual content in popular movies predicts sexual behavior in adolescence Posted: 17 Jul 2012 01:27 PM PDT Intuitively it simply makes sense: exposure to sexual content in movies at an early age probably influences adolescents' sexual behavior. And yet, even though a great deal of research has shown that adolescents who watch more risky behaviors in popular movies, like drinking or smoking, are more likely to drink and smoke themselves, surprisingly little research has examined whether movies influence adolescents' sexual behaviors.  |
| Online self-diagnosis: Am I having a heart attack or is it just the hiccups? Posted: 17 Jul 2012 07:03 AM PDT Consumers who self-diagnose are more likely to believe they have a serious illness because they focus on their symptoms rather than the likelihood of a particular disease, according to a new study. This has significant implications for public health professionals as well as consumers.  |
| Why does the week before your vacation seem longer when you're going far away? Posted: 17 Jul 2012 07:02 AM PDT Consumer decision-making is affected by the relationship between time and spatial distance, according to a new study.  |
| Selling on eBay? Get higher bids with a red background Posted: 17 Jul 2012 07:02 AM PDT The color red influences consumers to become more aggressive in online auctions and affects how much they are willing to pay for products as varied as video game consoles and Florida vacation packages, according to a new study. But the color blue can influence consumers to make lower offers when negotiating directly with a seller.  |
| You can't always get what you want: Consumers struggle with competing goals Posted: 17 Jul 2012 07:02 AM PDT Consumers change their minds often when making choices that involve conflicting goals, according to a new study.  |
| Posted: 17 Jul 2012 07:01 AM PDT Macho men whose partners earn more than they do have worse romantic relationships, in part because the difference in income is a strain for them, according to a new study. Conversely, men who are not so traditional in their masculinity do not place as much importance on the difference in income and, as a result, appear to have better quality relationships with their female partner.  |
| Infants' recognition of speech more sophisticated than previously known Posted: 17 Jul 2012 07:00 AM PDT The ability of infants to recognize speech is more sophisticated than previously known, researchers have found. Their study showed that infants, as early as nine months old, could make distinctions between speech and non-speech sounds in both humans and animals.  |
