Pollution from pot plants, and how our bodies perceive processed foods
The “dank” smelling terpenes emitted by growing marijuana can combine with chemicals in car emissions to form ozone, a health-damaging compound. This is especially problematic in Denver, where ozone levels are dangerously high and pot farms have sprung up along two highways in the city. Host Sarah C respi talks with reporter Jason Plautz about researchers’ efforts to measure terpene emissions from pot plants and how federal restrictions have hampered them. Next, host Meagan Cantwell talks with Dana Small, a professor of psychiatry and psychology at Yale University, about how processed foods are perceived by the body...

4 Life Goals, 4 Selves
I have blogged previously about the 4 major goals of life: Happiness (H), Success (S), Meaning (M) and Morality/Virtue (V). Each goal is important in itself and a healthy human being constantly balances all four goals for optimal outcome.
Some people group all of these major goals of life [...]Rating: 0.0/10 (0 votes cast) (Source: The Mouse Trap)

The Evolution of Cooperation: Thankfulness and Inspiration as Two Routes
Cooperation or Altruism or Prosociality is the tendency to help others, even at a cost to oneself. Naive conceptions of evolution, make us think that cooperation or altruism cannot evolve because the genes are selfish and only care about perpetuating themselves. However, the selfish gene view of [...]Rating: 0.0/10 (0 votes cast) (Source: The Mouse Trap)

Talking therapy for the management of mental health in low- and middle-income countries affected by mass human tragedy
Evidence Aid, an organisation dedicated to improving the use of evidence in humanitarian crises, highlights information from Cochrane and other systeamic reviews of particular relevance to those involved in humanitarian assistance and, in July 2018, these were added to by a report on psychological therapies for the treatment of mental disorders in low- and middle-income countries. We asked one of the authors, Marianna Purgato from the University of Verona in Italy, to tell us about this new Cochrane Review. (Source: Podcasts from The Cochrane Library)

How to taper opioids
There is very little guidance on withdrawing or tapering opioids in chronic pain (not caused by cancer). People can fear pain, withdrawal symptoms, a lack of social and healthcare support, and they may also distrust non-opioid methods of pain management.
This can mean that patients receive repeat opioid prescriptions for extended periods of time.
In this podcast, Harbinder Sandhu, health psychologist in pain management at Warwick Medical School, Andrea Furlan, associate professor of medicine at University of Toronto, and Sam Eldabe, consultant i n pain medicine at The James Cook University Hospital join us to set out th...

The Formula for Success and Happiness
Successful people are not necessarily happy and happy people are not necessarily successful. There are always trade-offs involved in life and depending on our priorities, we may want to become better at being more successful or happier, or lead lives that are more moral or more meaningful.

Love- in All its Glorious Forms
Love for a child, is not the same as love for a friend, which is not the same as love for a partner- we all instinctively realize this fact– yet we also admit that there must be something common in our interactions with these people that enables us to label that experience as love, and that [...]Rating: 0.0/10 (0 votes cast) (Source: The Mouse Trap)

Psychological Haikus (#Psyckus)
5 months back, in a poetic mood, I had penned a few Psychological Haikus that explain or comment on the major research themes of some researchers in positive psychology and allied fields.

The Four Needs Theory: Building on McClelland
McClelland had formulated a theory of three basic needs: Need for achievement, need for affiliation and need for power. He had related this to work context, though these needs are generally applicable.

Ancient volcanic eruptions, and peer pressure —from robots
Several thousand years ago the volcano under Santorini in Greece —known as Thera—erupted in a tremendous explosion, dusting the nearby Mediterranean civilizations of Crete and Egypt in a layer of white ash. This geological marker could be used to tie together many ancient historical events, but the estimated date could be off by a century. Contributing Corres pondent Lizzie Wade joins host Sarah Crespi to talk about a new study that used tree rings to calibrate radiocarbon readings—and get closer to pinning down a date. The findings also suggest that scientists may need to change their standard radiocarbon dating cal...
