Being in awe can expand time and enhance well-being Posted: 19 Jul 2012 01:19 PM PDT It doesn't matter what we've experienced -- whether it's the breathtaking scope of the Grand Canyon, the ethereal beauty of the Aurora Borealis, or the exhilarating view from the top of the Eiffel Tower -- at some point in our lives we've all had the feeling of being in a complete and overwhelming sense of awe.

What would Batman eat? Posted: 19 Jul 2012 07:52 AM PDT Researches examined whether the priming of a role model's food choices or the priming of healthy foods could influence children to make healthier fast food choices. Forty-five percent of the children selected apple fries after being shown pictures of superheroes and other role models, compared to 9 percent who chose apple fries with no superhero prompts. Parents using this tactic with their kids might be a realistic step to a healthier fast-food world.

Generation X is surprisingly unconcerned about climate change Posted: 19 Jul 2012 05:26 AM PDT Generation X is lukewarm about climate change -- uninformed about the causes and unconcerned about the dangers, according to a new report.

The study suggests that interventions aimed at improving parent-child interaction in the early post-natal period may be beneficial to the child's behavior later on in life.
