Psychology says people who still feel alone in the company of family and friends aren't failures at receiving care??? they're often people who have given care in such volume, for such a long time, that being on the receiving end no longer feels real
4+ day, 1+ hour ago (690+ words) Edited by Daniel Moran The deepest loneliness often strikes not among the isolated, but among lifelong caregivers who've become allergic to being cared for. Picture the person who runs everyone else’s emergencies. Birthdays remembered without a reminder. Hospital lifts arranged....
Psychology says people who find it hard to disconnect from work when they get home aren't workaholics or ambitious overachievers??? they're often people who learned that being useful was the safest way to feel secure
4+ day, 2+ hour ago (590+ words) Edited by Daniel Moran When work won't leave your mind at dinner, it may not be ambition talking—it's a deeper need to prove your worth through constant availability. It’s 7pm. Dinner is on the table, the laptop is shut, the…...
In an experiment published in 1998, people valued 7 ounces of ice cream more highly than 8 when each serving was judged separately??? the smaller portion overflowed a 5-ounce cup, while the larger serving of the same ice cream sat below the rim of a 10-ounce cup.
4+ day, 18+ hour ago (906+ words) Edited by Lachlan Brown An overflowing small cup attracted a higher stated valuation than a larger underfilled serving when judged alone. Direct comparison reversed the result, and later research tested its limits. A generous-looking serving can contain less ice cream....
Choose Simplicity Over Artificiality
5+ day, 2+ hour ago (475+ words) Silicon Canals Choose simplicity over artificiality is the sort of maxim that sounds like taste dressed up as wisdom, the kind of thing said by people who have decided that plain is virtuous and polish is suspect. Treated that way…...
In a field experiment at a car wash, 300 customers received loyalty cards requiring 8 paid visits for a free wash??? 34% finished when the card had 10 spaces with 2 already stamped, compared with 19% given 8 empty spaces and exactly the same reward.
5+ day, 4+ hour ago (896+ words) Edited by Lachlan Brown Two loyalty cards required the same eight purchases, but customers followed through at different rates. The endowed progress experiment shows why the presentation of a goal can matter. The offer was eight paid car washes followed…...
On 24 May 1961, Princess Grace of Monaco and Prince Rainier lunched at the White House with President John F. Kennedy and Jacqueline Kennedy, five years after she left Hollywood for Monaco???s throne
6+ day, 3+ hour ago (245+ words) Edited by Justin Brown When Hollywood's most glamorous actress became a princess, a chance meeting with America's coolest president raised questions that still intrigue: What really happened behind closed doors at Camelot? The official record is precise about the essentials....
Psychology says people who feel a sense of calm when in nature aren't imagining it??? for a while, the brain no longer has to scan every sound, screen and social cue, and the body can finally stop bracing for what comes next
1+ week, 11+ min ago (684+ words) Edited by Daniel Moran When you step into nature, your brain finally stops working so hard—and that neurological reprieve is precisely what your nervous system desperately needs. Ask someone why they feel better after an hour in the park…...
Thinking it over tends to improve how people judge your character, mainly if they disagree
1+ week, 4+ hour ago (590+ words) Edited by Christy Jeremia Someone tells you they thought about it for a long time before they landed where they landed. Whether that sentence helps them depends largely on whether you agree with where they landed. Participants who disagreed with…...
Psychology says men who describe their wife or partner as the person they feel closest to aren't unusually dependent??? among married men, it is overwhelmingly the norm, even as men are far less likely than women to turn to friends for emotional support
1+ week, 5+ day ago (775+ words) Daniel Moran is a writer at Silicon Canals covering technology, psychology, and culture. Men's closest relationships have shrunk to a single person, leaving them vulnerable when that bond fractures. Ask a married man who he feels closest to and there…...
The psychology of why reading makes us smarter and happier, and why one half of that is firmer than the other
1+ week, 5+ day ago (724+ words) Silicon Canals That reading makes us happier and smarter is repeated so often it has worn smooth, the sort of claim nobody bothers to examine because everyone already agrees with it. Underneath the slogan, though, there is real psychology, and…...
