Improving Millions of Relationships… One Language at a Time.

Our Use Of Little Words Can, Uh, Reveal Hidden Interests Katherine Streeter for NPR One Friday night, 30 men and 30 women gathered at a hotel restaurant in Washington, D.C. Their goal was love, or maybe sex, or maybe some combination of the two. They were there for speed dating. The women sat at separate numbered tables while the men moved down the line, and for two solid hours they did a rotation, making small talk with people they did not know, one after another, in three-minute increments. I had gone to record the night, which was put on by a company called Professionals in the City, and what struck me was the noise in the room. What were these people saying? And what can we learn from what they are saying? That is why I called James Pennebaker, a psychologist interested in the secret life of pronouns. About 20 years ago Pennebaker, who's at the University of Texas, Austin, got interested in looking more closely at the words that we use. The. "Function words are essentially the filler words," Pennebaker says. Some of those questions included:

Fixed vs. Growth: The Two Basic Mindsets That Shape Our Lives “If you imagine less, less will be what you undoubtedly deserve,” Debbie Millman counseled in one of the best commencement speeches ever given, urging: “Do what you love, and don’t stop until you get what you love. Work as hard as you can, imagine immensities…” Far from Pollyanna platitude, this advice actually reflects what modern psychology knows about how belief systems about our own abilities and potential fuel our behavior and predict our success. Much of that understanding stems from the work of Stanford psychologist Carol Dweck, synthesized in her remarkably insightful Mindset: The New Psychology of Success (public library) — an inquiry into the power of our beliefs, both conscious and unconscious, and how changing even the simplest of them can have profound impact on nearly every aspect of our lives. One of the most basic beliefs we carry about ourselves, Dweck found in her research, has to do with how we view and inhabit what we consider to be our personality.

Nanna writes via Facebook: "This Valentine's Day, I will attend a formal thrown for freshman and sophomore college students in the Netherlands — they are giving us, the lecturers, free drinks, so how could I not? — and I'm already massively looking forward to observing awkward late-teens eyeing each other and trying to flirt. What would be the best soundtrack to this particular event?" These teenagers in the 1998 film Can't Hardly Wait needed their own nostalgia — which is why today's teenagers might not connect with Can't Hardly Wait the way an earlier generation did. itoggle caption Columbia Pictures Columbia Pictures And that's fine, and it's sweet, and it's well-intentioned, and it's understandable.

Schizophrenia Revealed To Be 8 Genetically Distinct Disorders Just over 1 percent of the American population has been diagnosed with schizophrenia, a severe mental disorder that causes debilitating symptoms including paranoid delusions, auditory hallucinations, and impaired social behavior. A new study has revealed that schizophrenia is not one disease, but eight disorders with genetically distinct causes. This could dramatically change how schizophrenia is diagnosed and treated. The research was led by C. Robert Cloninger of Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis and the results were published in The American Journal of Psychiatry. To identify the genetic roots of schizophrenia, Cloninger’s team analyzed the genomes of 4,200 individuals diagnosed with schizophrenia and 3,800 controls. They were then able to sort the schizophrenic patients by symptom type and severity and compare SNPs. “Genes don’t operate by themselves. Read this next: What Are Gravitational Waves?

What teens really want to know about sex On the first day of my Sexuality and Society class, I don’t pass around anatomy drawings. I don’t hand out pamphlets about safer sex, although those are stacked on a table near the door. Instead, the first thing I do is establish ground rules. I’m all about context. In the back corner of my classroom is an old shoebox with a hole cut into the top of it. Here are some actual questions from students and my answers to them. Why is sex so good? There are two ways to answer this question. A part of the body that brings sexual pleasure when stimulated is called an erogenous zone. The second reason sex feels good is that humans have developed the emotional capacity to feel love, intimacy, and passion. While pleasure can exist without these emotions, it is much more significant when they are present. When is someone emotionally and physically ready for sex? I wish I had an answer that would be right for all people at all times, but the real answer is “it depends.” Short Answer—ABSOLUTELY NOT!!!

Fuis-moi je te suis, le jeu du chat et de la souris - Le Blog Martien Que nous ayons été le chat ou la souris, tant en amour que dans la phase de séduction, nous avons tous été, un jour ou l’autre, confrontés à ce jeu du, “je te fuis, tu me suis, je te suis, tu me fuis”. Ce phénomène semble plus ou moins se répéter au fil des rencontres et des relations et il est parfois assez déstabilisant. Nous allons ici essayer de le comprendre et de l’expliquer afin de mieux en cerner les tenants et les aboutissants et si possible, être ainsi mieux capable de le gérer. Commençons par essayer de comprendre ce qui motive une relation. Deux personnes font connaissance et de cette rencontre naît l’envie. Envie d’en savoir plus, de se connaître mieux, de se revoir, de se fréquenter, de tisser des liens, de se toucher, de s’embrasser, etc... Quand on pense aux débuts d’une relation, nous sommes tous d’accord sur la question. I - QU’EST-CE QUE LE DÉSIR ? Fin de la parenthèse. Nous pouvons donc considérer le manque comme une composante essentielle à l’existence du désir.
