Is There A Study For Everything?

Emotions aren't all in the face

Emotions aren't all in the face. In a study published in the journal Science, participants couldn't distinguish winning professional tennis players from losing professional players when they saw only images of the players' faces. When a winner's face was put on a loser's body - or vice versa - the face was interpreted as a winner or a loser depending which body it was put on. However, when the participants looked at just the players' bodies, they easily distinguished positive emotions from negative ones. It seems we have to "face facts". Judging other people's emotions depends on a "body of evidence".

Nostalgia may warm your body. That was the finding of a 3-experiment study published in the journal Emotion. In the first experiment participants who logged their nostalgic feelings for 30 days felt more nostalgic on colder days. In the second experiment participants were put in a cold room, told to recall a nostalgic or an ordinary event and then guess the room's temperature. The nostalgic participants estimated the room was warmer. In the third experiment participants who recalled a nostalgic event were able to keep their hands in ice-cold water longer. Hmmm, maybe nostalgia can even warm a "cold heart".

People in red/Republican states are likelier to die in road crashes than people in blue/Democratic states. According to 2012 federal statistics, the 10 states with the highest fatality rates were all red. Wyoming had the most followed by Mississippi, Arkansas, Montana, Alabama, Oklahoma, Kentucky, South Carolina, South Dakota and West Virginia. All but one of the lowest fatality states were blue. Massachusetts had the fewest followed by New York, Rhode Island, New Jersey, Washington, Illinois, California, Minnesota, ALASKA/red and Oregon. Although safety experts have no explanation, I think drivers in red states drive too far to the right.

Exotic dancers get the biggest tips. According to a 2012 survey by PayScale, their median hourly tips were $19.70. Unfortunately, some dancers have to kick back part of their tips to bosses or work as independent contractors so employers don't have to pay minimum wage or benefits. Gaming dealers were second with median hourly tips of $11.10. Sommeliers ranked third ($10.20) and bartenders ranked fourth ($8.30). Surprisingly, bar managers at $7.50 ranked fifth. They were ahead of banquet captains ($7.30), as well as waiters and waitresses ($6.90). That bar managers receive a share of all tips may be a little known "bar code".
