| Confidence in parenting could help break cycle of abuse Posted: 29 Aug 2015 09:38 AM PDT To understand how confidence in parenting may predict parenting behaviors in women who were abused as children, psychologists have found that mothers who experienced more types of maltreatment as children are more critical of their ability to parent successfully. Intervention programs for moms at-risk, therefore, should focus on bolstering mothers' self-confidence -- not just teach parenting skills, the researchers said.      |
| Borderline personality traits linked to lowered empathy Posted: 29 Aug 2015 09:38 AM PDT Those with borderline personality disorder, or BPD, a mental illness marked by unstable moods, often experience trouble maintaining interpersonal relationships. New research indicates that this may have to do with lowered brain activity in regions important for empathy in individuals with borderline personality traits. |
| Increasingly severe disturbances weaken world's temperate forests Posted: 29 Aug 2015 09:38 AM PDT Longer, more severe, and hotter droughts and a myriad of other threats, including diseases and more extensive and severe wildfires, are threatening to transform some of the world's temperate forests, a new study has found. Without informed management, some forests could convert to shrublands or grasslands within the coming decades. |
| Can you avoid hangovers after heavy drinking? Posted: 29 Aug 2015 09:38 AM PDT Are some people immune to hangovers, and can eating or drinking water after heavy drinking prevent a hangover? The answers appear to be 'no' and 'no' according to new research. |
| Keeping the ions close: A new activity Posted: 28 Aug 2015 11:31 AM PDT Building better batteries means understanding the chemistry of acids and bases. Now, scientists found that when a strong acid is mixed with water, the negatively and positively charged parts create an unexpected structure. |
| An engineered surface unsticks sticky water droplets Posted: 28 Aug 2015 10:54 AM PDT Researchers have developed the first nano/micro-textured highly slippery surfaces able to outperform lotus leaf-inspired liquid repellent coatings, particularly in situations where the water is in the form of vapor or tiny droplets. |
