Any studies on lack of imagination and creativity? @dgo.a: Yes, strictly formally scientifically speaking, it is know as the "male". For example using your points, 1) Sex, belonging and protection. 2) Why improve it unless it directly helps me achieve #1? 3) Path of least difficulty and laziness. 4) Unless it directly happens to me why should I think about it. 5) I don't want to think and show me things that look good. |

What is the effect of Social Media consumption on self-esteem? @guest43434: Of course. Since it is all based on pictures, I would imagine more photogenic people will get a self-esteem boost and less photogenic will get less. I got no scientific proof but it is obviously human nature likes to compare to others...and with social media we have a lot more to compare with. Especially among youth where image is everything, I really worry about the effects there.... |

What is it called when a student tends to speak about what he knows? @Dims: I believe it is related with the strong biological urge to be right, mixed in with the ego and caring what other people think. Call them out on it next time....haha |

What part of the brain locks up when a man is in the presence of an extremely attractive female? @jflournoy: If it appears as anxiety, it is a very different form of it - say compared to going on a job interview. There is something very specific about this phenomenon that it should not be generalized under the umbrella of anxiety (or intimidation). I would imagine there is something very specific to sexuality, reproduction, evolution, attraction, etc. |

Research suggesting conscious control over brain region activation? @benCole: of course, what do you think meditation is all about - look up the science of meditation. It actually increases brain tissue and increases blood to the deeper levels of the brain. |

Overcoming the effect of Limerence? @Knight: first time I heard of it too, interesting to see that high rate of coincidence between limerence, depersonalization/derealization disorder.....I wonder what the difference is between girls in High School in love with every "cute" guy vs. this. |
