laziness

David DiS­al­vo, a sci­ence and tech­nol­o­gy writer whose posts we share with you reg­u­lar­ly, has just pub­lished his selec­tion of the 2010 psy­chol­o­gy stud­ies real­ly worth know­ing about.

A great tour of the brain and psy­chol­o­gy that leads us from how many of our wak­ing hours are ded­i­cat­ed to day dream­ing, how the impres­sion we are try­ing to give when meet­ing some­one influ­ences how we eval­u­ate the oth­er per­son, to how a con­fi­dent pos­ture gives a bio­chem­i­cal advan­tage that increas­es feel­ings of pow­er and tol­er­ance of risk. Enjoy!
