East Lansing, MI, USA. People tend to pick their spouse based on shared personality traits, which upends the popular belief that married couples do not become more similar over time. A team led by researchers from Michigan State University (MSU) report their findings in the journal Personality and Individual Differences.
“Existing research shows that spouses are more similar than random people,” said Mikhila Humbad, lead investigator. She said “This could reflect spouses’ influence on... |

Buffalo, NY, USA. Researchers have found compelling evidence that our best and worst experiences in life are likely to involve interaction with other people and the fulfillment of an urge for social connection, contrary to the implications of previous research that set individual accomplishments as primary.
The research, conducted at the University at Buffalo (UB), is the first study of its kind. The results appear in the forthcoming print issue of Self and Identity. Co-author Shira Gabriel, ... |

Washington, DC, USA. Nine states and the District of Columbia were awarded stimulus-funded education grants Tuesday, ending an interstate competition called “Race to the Top.” The grants, totaling $4.3 billion, rewarded states for implementing reforms advocated by the Obama administration.
Nowhere was the competition among states more fierce than in their efforts to adopt a common academic curriculum known as the “Common Core” standards. So far, 36 states and the District of Columbia ... |

Atlanta, GA, USA. A study by sociologists from Indiana University found that manipulating terminology and efforts to frame an issue toward a specific outcome — often effective in influencing public opinion — have no effect on public opinion concerning the ongoing debate in the United States over legalizing same-sex marriage.

Sacramento, CA, USA. It was a federal judge who gave the green light for same-sex marriages to proceed next week, barring an intervention from a higher court, but it may be the work of two of California's top elected officials that ensures that his ruling is carried out.
Both Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, a Republican, and Attorney General Jerry Brown, a Democrat, announced that they would not appeal an earlier decision by U.S. District Vaughn Walker striking down Proposition 8, the amendme... |

Edmonton, AB, USA. Results from a study on oral sex indicate there is little doubt that oral sex is becoming a more common activity for young women. Study results show the act has become a fundamental part of what study author Brea Malacad calls the "sexual revolution of the 21st century". And she concludes that researchers, sex educators and marketers of safer-sex paraphernalia need to catch up with the trend.
"From my study, all of the women who had engaged in sexual intercou... |

Rochester, NY, USA. What could be as alluring as a lady in red? A gentleman in red, finds a multicultural study published in the Journal of Experimental Psychology: General.
Simply wearing the color red or being bordered by the rosy hue makes a man more attractive and sexually desirable to women, according to studies by researchers at the University of Rochester and other institutions. And women are unaware of this arousing effect. The cherry color's charm ultimately lies in its ability to ma... |
