Researchers surveyed 393 mothers and found nearly nine in ten felt solely responsible for organising the family's schedule, and 65 per cent of them were also holding a paid job while doing it

The people you become friends with may already process the world like you do before either of you says hello — brain responses to the same movie clips predicted who would be friends eight months later
5+ day, 21+ hour ago (1601+ words) A longitudinal fMRI study found that pre-existing similarities in responses to movie clips anticipated later friendship-network proximity, although the strongest results were narrower than a universal friend detector.

Researchers examining identical twins raised apart found that twins given very different educations differed by an average of 15 IQ points, despite sharing essentially the same genes — striking evidence that genetic similarity does not lock intelligence into a fixed outcome.

2+ week, 3+ day ago (391+ words) The science is clear: venting anger actually strengthens it, leaving you more enraged than if you'd simply waited it out. Published August 13, 2026 · How we edit Somewhere in an Ohio State laboratory, a man punched a hole in the wall. His…...
Rather than a list of forbidden phrases, the research points to two things parents are wiser not to say as a habit: personal put-downs, which warmth does not cancel out, and the message that love has to be earned
3+ week, 2+ hour ago (281+ words) Two patterns of speech—conditional love and personal criticism—damage children more than any single phrase, and breaking either habit matters far more than policing your words. By Science Blog Editorial Team Published August 9, 2026 · How we edit We are writers,…...
