Studies: Moral outrage may influence jurors Posted: 03 Dec 2013 11:18 AM PST Two new studies point to important legal implications when moral outrage is generated through the interactive effect of anger and disgust. Research points to the need for judges to carefully consider the admissibility of evidence likely to elicit moral outrage in jurors in a world where phone and security cameras increasingly catch horrible crimes on camera and therefore may be entered as evidence.

Fear of being single leads people to settle for less Posted: 03 Dec 2013 10:37 AM PST Fear of being single is a meaningful predictor of settling for less in relationships among both men and women, a study has found.

Obesity, smoking increase risk after immediate breast reconstruction with implants Posted: 03 Dec 2013 09:47 AM PST New research findings confirm that factors such as smoking and obesity increase the odds of early implant loss in women who undergo mastectomy and immediate breast reconstruction with implants.

Prenatal exposure to alcohol disrupts brain circuitry: No safe level of drinking during pregnancy, neuroscientist says Posted: 03 Dec 2013 07:59 AM PST Prenatal exposure to alcohol severely disrupts major features of brain development that potentially lead to increased anxiety and poor motor function, conditions typical in humans with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders, say neuroscientists.

Don't ignore hip pain: Impingement a growing problem among young, active Posted: 02 Dec 2013 12:20 PM PST Hip pain is no longer reserved for older adults. More and more young, active people are developing this problem, which often requires surgery to repair.

Do sports concussions really cause chronic traumatic encephalopathy? Posted: 02 Dec 2013 12:20 PM PST It's been widely reported that football and other contact sports increase the risk of a debilitating neurological condition called chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE). But a new study finds little evidence to support such a link.

Goals affect feelings of pride, shame after success, failure Posted: 02 Dec 2013 10:48 AM PST When the St. Louis Cardinals lost the World Series, just how much shame did the players feel? According to researchers, a person's goals at the outset of a competence-based task, such as a sporting event, can influence how much shame or pride he or she feels upon completion of the task.

US mothers from 1965 to 2010: more TV, less housework Posted: 02 Dec 2013 10:48 AM PST New research shows that mothers in the US are far less physically active than they were in previous decades and now spend more time engaged in sedentary activities like watching television than in cooking, cleaning and exercising combined. The research provides important insights into the nation's pervasive health problems such as childhood obesity and diabetes.

Air pollution, genetics combine to increase risk for autism Posted: 02 Dec 2013 05:26 AM PST Exposure to air pollution appears to increase the risk for autism among people who carry a genetic disposition for the neurodevelopmental disorder, according to newly published research.
