" Aunque quienes dicen la verdad condicionalmente están poderosamente influenciados por sus creencias sobre lo que otros hacen en la misma situación, las expectativas de las personas sobre lo que “debería hacerse” también pueden influir en si mienten o no. El estudio cita contribuciones recientes a la literatura sobre “mentira”, que muestra que las preocupaciones por la reputación y la imagen juegan un papel importante a la hora de explicar el comportamiento mentiroso. El deseo de parecer honesto (o de señalar los altos costos de la mentira) explica el hecho de que cuando las mentiras vienen en diferentes “tamaños”, algunos mentirosos eligen mentiras “más pequeñas”.

Para algunas personas, se necesitan incentivos adicionales, como la amenaza de sanciones por parte de otros, para mantener su honestidad. En el pasado se ha argumentado que el castigo y las emociones son dos factores clave en el cumplimiento de las normas. La ausencia de sanciones formales y emociones negativas como la vergüenza y la culpa también son agentes eficaces para hacer cumplir las normas sociales. Incluso la conciencia del costo de castigar a los infractores de las normas a veces genera cooperación y justicia..."

" The Biggest Predictor of Happiness Isn’t Money, Looks, or a Better Job.

That’s not a soft finding. That’s a data point that should probably make people rethink how they’re spending their weekends.

What does predict happiness, by a considerable margin, is something far less marketable than a pay raise or a wellness routine. According to the Harvard Study of Adult Development—now in its 87th year and still the longest-running scientific study of its kind—the quality of a person’s relationships is the single strongest predictor of happiness and health across an entire lifetime. The study, which began in 1938 and eventually expanded to more than 2,500 participants including spouses and descendants, found that people with strong, supportive relationships were happier, healthier, and lived longer than those without them. Relationship satisfaction at age 50, researchers found, was a better predictor of physical health in later life than cholesterol levels.

Eight-plus decades of data, and the answer hasn’t changed. People are chronically wrong about what will make them happy—and they’re paying for it...."

Research suggests strong relationships and helping others may matter more for happiness than money or self-improvement.

Addressing children's curiosity about sexuality is crucial. Engaging in open conversations can create a safe space for dialogue at home, reducing the taboo around these topics.

" Meltzer explained that driving is a "social situation," not just an activity you do to get from point A to point B. You're constantly acting and reacting to other people, so it involves traits that we often associate with personality. He said, "It's where patience, frustration tolerance, risk-taking, impulsivity, and even empathy really show up."

You don't need to drive a race car to have a Mario Andretti personality.

" Numerous studies have indicated the importance of touch for our wellbeing.

Neonatal nurses have long known that skin-on-skin contact within the first hour after birth is fundamental for the health of newborn babies, while throughout infancy, touch remains crucial for growth, immune system development and even survival.

Meaning, the human brain and body developed to expect the presence of other people and physical contact with them. When this expectation goes unfulfilled, the body mounts a stress response.

“Touch matters a lot because it’s one of the simplest and most efficient ways of signalling that social support is available,” says Coan.

“It can communicate safety and emotional regulation. Basically, touch isn’t just a nice-to-have aspect of being human, but a key part of how we regulate ourselves and our social lives, from our first to possibly our last moments.”..

Physical contact is vital for our wellbeing. New research is revealing why

" A person high in EQ is not impulsive or hasty with their actions. They think before they do. This translates into steady emotion regulation, or the ability to reduce how intense an emotion feels. Taking anger or anxiety down a notch is called down-regulation. The emotionally intelligent are able to shift gears and lighten mood, both internally and externally.."

Emotional intelligence refers to the ability to identify and manage one’s own emotions, as well as the emotions of others. Emotional intelligence is generally said to include a few skills: namely, emotional awareness, or the ability to identify and name one’s own emotions; the ability to harness...

" Research into a group of people that scientists call ‘superagers’ has found that those of us who show signs of extroversion, or who are more engaged in social activities and value interpersonal relationships, may live longer. Not only that, their brains stay sharper for longer, often reporting memory scores equal to people 20 or 30 years younger. .."
