The findings have been published in the journal Scientific Reports. Art has always been seen as a window into the soul of its creator. However, in light of numerous scandals involving well-known figures in the art world, society has become increasingly inter...

A recent study published in Psychological Science has found that people with diverse social networks, comprising both similar and different individuals, tend to report higher social cohesion in their neighborhoods and, in turn, higher levels of well-being. The findings suggest that while people naturally tend to form bonds with those who are similar to them, integrating more diverse social networks yields significant social and personal benefits. Previous research has shown that contact with people from various groups can reduce prejudice and enhance social outcomes. However, debates persist, ...

Researchers from Simon Fraser University and the University of Sussex have uncovered a surprising trend: people are as hesitant to reach out to old friends as they are to start a conversation with a stranger. Despite the clear benefits of social connections, many individuals refrain from rekindling past relationships, even when they have the desire and means to do so. This study, published in Communications Psychology, sheds light on the psychological barriers preventing people from reconnecting. Extensive scientific literature has demonstrated that people with robust social networks report hi...

A recent study published in the Journal of Social and Personal Relationships offers new insights into what qualities we prioritize in our friends. The research finds that traits such as loyalty, reliability, trustworthiness, and honesty are deemed essential, or necessities, in friendships. Meanwhile, traits like being forgiving, sharing information, emotional intelligence, and conscientiousness about debts are considered luxuries, not essential but desirable. Throughout history, from Aristotle to modern thinkers, the nature of friendship has been a subject of philosophical and psychological in...

Recent research published in Social Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience has found that parents display stronger neural responses when their own children, rather than unknown children, violate gender stereotypes. This effect is especially pronounced when the gender-nonconforming child is a boy, and among parents who view such violations as less appropriate. This study highlights how deeply personal and situational factors shape parental reactions to children’s behavior that defies traditional gender roles. Stereotypes about gender roles streamline social interactions by setting expectations fo...

In a recent experiment, students watched a video depicting a female student offering verbal and tactile support to another female student who had failed a midterm exam. The study found that verbal support centered on emotions was perceived as most effective in boosting self-esteem, self-efficacy, and reducing distress. When the verbal support addressed the problem directly, interactions that included tactile support, such as a hug or a pat on the back, were perceived as more effective. The paper was published in the Journal of Nonverbal Behavior. Throughout life, individuals encounter various ...

A significant discovery from the study is that individuals who perceive themselves as being viewed more positively by their partners than they actually are tend to have partners who report lower levels of satisfaction. Relationship satisfaction is a vital indicator of the health and stability of romantic partnerships, significantly impacting both individuals’ psychological we...

A recent study published in the journal Personal Relationships investigated the long-term dynamics of self-esteem, subjective happiness, and marital conflict in South Korean married couples. The study found that self-esteem and happiness were interconnected for both partners individually, while wives played a greater role in influencing their husbands’ self-esteem and marital conflict than vice versa. “Marital relationships are among the most significant bonds where mutual influence is experienced by most individuals over their lifetime. However, there is still insufficient research on the psy...
