A new study reveals a simple strategy that people can use to minimize how angry and aggressive they get when they are provoked by others. When someone makes you angry, try to pretend you’re viewing the scene at a distance - in other words, you are an observer rather than a participant in this stressful situation. Then, from that distanced perspective, try to understand your feelings. More on AGGRESSION: http://www.scoop.it/t/science-news?tag=aggression No comment yet.

Children and adolescents are exposed to violent images everyday and the line between reality and fiction is blurred. Now, the consequences of such exposure are becoming evident and recent studies show neurological adaptations and desensitization that lead to aggression and violence in real life. Delete the scoop?

Looks can be deceptive. If you want some proof, consider a new study which analyzes the actions of aggressive-looking males. Turns out, men with angry, violent faces are actually far more likely to makes sacrifices for their close friends. Delete the scoop?

I agree in part with that, Sakis; I do lament the shift from knowledge-oriented science to the more pragmatic concerns that require effective outcomes beyond mere illumination within the lens of scientific enquiry, etc — filling in the gaps, as it were. The power of the funding bodies to decide on resource allocation is one of the main driving forces of that, and it’s sad as it leaves a lot untouched. However, I also appreciate the underwhelming nature of some of the common-knowledge results of science for some of those both inside and outside the academy. In a scarcity-based reality, priorities tend to take precedence; this often ends up favouring action-oriented R&D. We need more examinations of common sense, as you say, for a variety of reasons, but priority rank-ordering is still probably necessary and sensible … more or less … and until we reach a post-scarcity or, at least, a resource-rich reality that can cope with broader scope, lol!

A new study shows that 'agreeableness' correlates negatively with how much money men earn. According to Notre Dame researchers, 'agreeableness' is a combination of trust, straightforwardness, compliance, altruism, modesty and tender-mindedness. Men who were found less agreeable were not sociopaths or maniacs but they were willing to aggressively advocate for their position during conflicts. The difference in pay was stunning: agreeable men earned an average of $7,000 less than their bristly peers. Delete the scoop?
