A Winning Face Depends on the Culture of the Voter
A recent social psychology study shines a light on how cultural differences affect what voters judge and value most in the facial appearance of potential leaders.
Why the Internet Isn’t Making Us Smarter – and How to Fight Back
With computers and smartphones, we have access to an Internet containing a vast store of information much bigger than any individual brain can carry – and that’s not always a good thing.
Can We Control the Influence of Others’ Emotions?
Emotion contagion has historically been thought of as an automatic, uncontrolled process. However, in many cases we may want to control the influence of others’ emotions because we believe that their response is inappropriate to the situation.
