I've known it about myself for some time.  When in crisis reach for food or go shopping.  Now a new study says that people turn to consuming to combat problems, feelings and grief. But did you know that it's the commercial settings themselves that people are turning to? Whi le this may not be a surprise to you (maybe you do it, too), but p eople are increasingly turning to commercial settings as outlets for their emotions, confronting problems, grief and feelings , says newswise.com. It is well understood that consumers seek out leisure activities and vacations in order to escape from daily life and real-world problems, the web site reports. "But a new study by Dr Leighanne Higgins, from Lancaster University Management School, and Dr Kathy Hamilton, from the University of Strathclyde, reveals a new consumption trend - the important role of marketplaces in enabling consumers to confront their problems," according to newswise.com. "Whereas previous stu...

Well, Donald Trump thinks it works for him but a new study says that it doesn't pay to play angry when you're trying to negotiate . According to experts, “You’re likely going to pay a real price for the anger you express,” says  Bill Bottom  at newswise.com.  He's   the Joyce and Howard Wood Distinguished Professor of Organizational Behavior at Olin and senior author on the paper published online March 18 by the  Journal of Behavioral Decision Making . Bottom, who studies social and psychological aspects of negotiation,notes that accounts published in top-notch media outlets baldly made statements akin to, “it pays to be angry," at the website. Not quite, he explains. “When you convince somebody to act like this, whether it’s with their boss or trying to buy a car or trying to sell a car, we’re doing a disservice if we’re making such grandiose claims,” Bottom states. So why does Trump do it?  In some ways, it may work for him, when you l...

I've never been called a femme fatale but I've had my share of problems with men in the business world. Now a new study says that attractive businesswomen are viewed as less trustworthy "femme fatales," according to newswise.com. A Washington State University researcher says attractive businesswomen are considered less trustworthy, less truthful and more worthy of being fired than less attractive women, the web site reports. "This 'f emme fatale effect ,' as she and a University of Colorado colleague call it, goes beyond a commonly accepted explanation that attractive women simply aren't seen as fitting in traditionally masculine roles. Rather, the effect taps into more primal feelings of sexual insecurity, jealousy and fear among both men and women." "Highly attractive women can be perceived as dangerous and that matters when we are assessing things like how much we trust them and whether we believe that what they are saying is tru...

Now here's a question. Are human brains vulnerable to voice-morphing attacks? What we're talking about is telling the difference between a human voice, and a morphed (or synthesized) one.  May not seem to matter but what if it's someone pretending to be a lottery official telling you you've won, well, a couple of million? According to newswise.com, a   recent research study led by the  University of Alabama at Birmingham ’s  Department of Computer Science  analyzed the differences in neural activities when users are processing different types of voices, including morphed voices. Huh? The study showed there may not be any statistically significant differences in the way the human brain processes original legitimate speakers versus synthesized speakers , whereas clear differences are visible when encountering legitimate versus different other human speakers — meaning humans are vulnerable to voice imitation attacks . “Our study suggests human users...
