| Posted: 10 Oct 2012 02:22 PM PDT A new analysis of 37 national opinion polls conducted by 17 survey organizations finds that health care is the second most important issue for likely voters in deciding their 2012 presidential vote. This is the highest that health care has been ranked as a presidential election issue since 1992.  |
| Testosterone increases honesty, study suggests Posted: 10 Oct 2012 02:22 PM PDT Testosterone is considered the most important male hormone, associated with aggression and posturing. Researchers have now been able to demonstrate that this sex hormone surprisingly also fosters social behavior. In play situations, subjects who had received testosterone clearly lied less frequently than individuals who had only received a placebo.  |
| Parent-clinician communication about children's drug reactions needs improvement, study finds Posted: 10 Oct 2012 02:21 PM PDT Many parents are dissatisfied with communication regarding adverse drug reactions experienced by their child, and the implications of such reactions for the child's future use of medicines, according to a new study.  |
| Negative news stories affect women's stress levels but not men's Posted: 10 Oct 2012 02:21 PM PDT Bad news articles in the media increase women's sensitivity to stressful situations, but do not have a similar effect on men, according to a new study.  |
| Minutes of hard exercise can lead to all-day calorie burn Posted: 10 Oct 2012 01:18 PM PDT Time spent in the drudgery of strenuous exercise is a well-documented turn-off for many people who want to get in better shape. In a new study, researchers show that exercisers can burn as many as 200 extra calories in as little as 2.5 minutes of concentrated effort a day -- as long as they intersperse longer periods of easy recovery in a practice known as sprint interval training.  |
| The good, the bad, and the guilty: Anticipating feelings of guilt predicts ethical behavior Posted: 10 Oct 2012 11:14 AM PDT From politics to finance, government to education, ethics-related scandals seem to crop up with considerable regularity. As whistleblowers and investigative journalists bring scandals to light, one can't help but wonder: Are there specific character traits that predispose people to unethical behavior? Converging evidence suggests the answer could be guilt proneness. Psychological scientists have examined the existing research on guilt proneness, exploring how it might influence our behavior in the workplace and beyond.  |
| Parenting more important than schools to academic achievement, study finds Posted: 10 Oct 2012 08:25 AM PDT New research finds that parental involvement is a more significant factor in a child's academic performance than the qualities of the school itself.  |
| A problem shared is a problem halved Posted: 10 Oct 2012 06:28 AM PDT The experience of being bullied is particularly detrimental to the psychological health of school girls who don't have social support from either adults or peers, according to a new study. In contrast, social support from adults or peers (or both) appears to lessen the negative consequences of bullying in this group, namely anxiety and depression.  |
| HPV vaccination does not lead to an increase in sex, study suggests Posted: 10 Oct 2012 05:42 AM PDT Contrary to recent discussions, the HPV vaccination does not increase sexual activity in adolescent girls, new research shows. There have been claims recently that the HPV (Human papillomavirus) vaccination increases sexual activity in adolescent girls as it effectively gives them a 'green light' to have sex because of a perceived protection against sexually transmitted infections.  |
