Do Infectious Diseases Dampen Innovation?
Social and personality psychologists are now exploring how the threat of disease can dampen our willingness to take risks. This lack of risk taking has implications for economics, innovation, and even authoritarian governments.
Why is it So Tough for Some to Exorcise the Ghosts of Their Romantic Past?
Why is it that some people continue to be haunted by the ghosts of their romantic pasts, struggling to let go of the pain of rejection? New research suggests that rejection actually makes some people redefine themselves – and their future romantic prospects.
Emotional Costs for Parents Who Put On a Happy Face for Their Children
Recent research suggests that parents’ attempts to suppress negative and amplify positive emotions during child care can detract from their well-being and high-quality parent–child bonds.
