t’s a familiar story: women who say they are looking to date a kind, sensitive and emotionally expressive guy often end up dating a macho man or a jerk. This leaves many ‘nice guys’ feeling they always finish last. For many decades, researchers have tried to get a grip on this so called ‘nice guy paradox’.

Old research clearly identified strong racist tendencies in educated Western societies due to a lack of contact with different ethnic groups, I really hope that in today's multicultural world that has been sorted, in UK the differences on all important factors should be seen as minimal and steotyping should be recognised as ignorance.

Sakis Koukouvis's insight:
Certain measures of brain anatomy were even better at judging learning potential than traditional measures of ability such as IQ and standardized test results, says study author Kaustubh Supekar of Stanford University. These signatures include the size of the hippocampus — a string bean–shaped structure involved in making memories — and how connected the area was with other parts of the brain.

This article shows the studies that have been made over the years dealing with elderly people being happy or grumpy when they reach an old age. It shows that the study shown to prove wether elderly people are happy or grumpy when their old has a lot to do with when they were born. Most americans born between 1885-1980 reach an old age and turn really grumpy. Not only because of how they were raised but also by the life experiences that they had. For example, the great depression. People struggled during that period and most americans dealt with terrible experiences. This article truley reminds me of the elderly people that show up at my job. Reading through it made me realize that depending on when they were born really has to do a lot with they way they act when they're older.Most people i know or have studied that were born between 1885-1980 were reallyh grumpy. It just makes me take a big look at not only the country but the whole world in general. It is so amazing how fast things have changed. One thing dealing most with technology and more laws. Americans did not have a lot back in those times and now elderly people born after the 1980's will most likely live a happy life when they reach an old age.

This article is about how peoples happiness level changes as they age. The article explains that this depends on the time frame in which you were born. If you were born within certain years you are thought to be grumpier when you get older than if you were born within different years. I thought this article was cool because I never knew this affected this and I wonder how I will be when I get old

New research shows that power is a mindset that can be cultivated
Sakis Koukouvis's insight:
While we often assume that people become powerful because of their superior thinking skills, research shows that the relationship flows in the other direction as well: Power changes the way a person thinks, making them better at focusing on relevant information, integrating disparate pieces of knowledge, and identifying hidden patterns than people who are powerless. People who feel powerful also show improved “executive functioning”: They are better able to concentrate, plan, inhibit unhelpful impulses and flexibly adapt to change.
