Published by Jenni Sidey

As we grow older, our memory tends to fade. But for the lucky few, this may not always be the case. Family physician and best-selling author Dr. Mark Hyman specializes in all things health-related. In an Instagram post, he identifies who these people, referred to as super-agers, are, and the rare traits we can cultivate to live like them. What is a super-ager? According to the National Institute on Aging, “Some people remain cognitively sharp into their 80s, 90s, and beyond, defying the common assumption that cognitive decline is a natural part of aging.” These people are known as super-agers, and there’s a lot we can all learn from them. For starters, super-agers do not exhibit the same degree of wear and tear found in other people around their age. Instead, researchers found that the memory, attention, cognitive control, and motivation regions of their brains are thicker in super-agers compared to their counterparts. According to the study, “Researchers found that super-agers’ brains contained a much higher density of a particular type of cell called Von …

Women Who Are Done Saying Yes To Everything Usually Have 11 High Value Traits

Published by Jenni Sidey

Many women are socialized into agreeableness and saying “yes” for the well-being of others, even if it comes at their own expense. Even experiencing a fear of missing out, often coined “FOMO,” lies in that people-pleasing realm where people worry about being ostracized and socially excluded by not following societal standards of falling victim to peer pressure. However, the more internally gratified someone’s self-worth is, the more willing they are to follow their own wisdom, meaning, and care. It’s women who are done saying yes to everything and stop feeling FOMO who usually have high-value traits like this, and are tired of living life for everyone else.

While some people consider Type B personality traits embarrassing, there’s a lot Type B people should be proud of.  Largely considered to be the carefree, relaxed, and flexible person in everyone’s lives, people with Type B personalities tend to be more patient than their Type A friends.  Unfortunately, they’re also seen as messy, irresponsible and chaotic.

New research links personality traits to confidence in recognizing artificial intelligence deception

New research links personality traits to confidence in recognizing artificial intelligence deception

Published by José Betancourt

A study published in the journal F1000Research in 2023 suggests that specific personality traits, particularly honesty and agreeableness, can predict how confident young adults feel in their ability to spot deepfake videos. The findings provide evidence that our underlying psychological makeup shapes our perceived vulnerability to sophisticated artificial intelligence deception. Deepfake technology relies on artificial intelligence to create highly realistic, manipulated videos or audio recordings of real people. These programs study thousands of images or voice clips to generate synthetic media depicting people saying or doing things that never actually happened. As these digital forgeries become harder to distinguish from reality, they pose a growing threat to personal privacy and accurate information. Scientists wanted to understand why some individuals feel more capable of recognizing these digital forgeries than others. A person’s belief in their own capability to succeed in a specific situation is known in psychology as self-efficacy. Past research indicates that self-efficacy is often heavily influenced by fundamental personality traits. By examining these underlying psychological characteristics, the researchers aimed to map out how different …

Narcissistic traits are linked to a brain area governing emotional control

Narcissistic traits are linked to a brain area governing emotional control

Published by José Betancourt

A recent study reveals that the physical structure of a specific brain region acts as a bridge between narcissistic personality traits and the habit of hiding one’s emotions. By looking at brain scans of healthy adults, researchers found that the volume and surface folding of the anterior insula correspond to both narcissistic tendencies and emotional suppression. The research was published in the Journal of Affective Disorders. Narcissism is often thought of as a single personality flaw, but psychologists divide it into two main dimensions. Grandiose narcissism is characterized by an inflated sense of self-importance, a constant need for admiration, and a lack of empathy for others. Vulnerable narcissism is marked by fragile self-esteem, hypersensitivity to criticism, and social withdrawal. Both types share an underlying core of self-focus and difficulties with interpersonal relationships. A common thread linking both grandiose and vulnerable traits is a struggle with emotion regulation. Emotion regulation refers to the mental strategies people use to manage how they feel and how they express those feelings to people around them. One strategy is cognitive …
