As the years went on, however, these antics did not correlate to an increase in popularity. In fact, just the opposite happened. | From this perspective, early adolescent pseudomature behavior may engender a long-term propensity to attain social status via less adaptive means, with consequences extending from difficulties managing peer relationships adaptively to serious deviant behavior. Yet, if reliance upon pseudomature behavior in early adolescence diverts energy from more adaptive socialdevelopmental pursuits and leads down a path to more serious difficulties in future functioning, then even these seemingly minor behaviors may warrant significant concern as markers of long-term risk. In essence, pseudomature behavior may not simply predict future problems, but may also predict the development of more serious adjustment problems over long periods of time, even after accounting for baseline levels of adjustment and problematic behavior in early adolescence. | [1] | Psychology | train | 1 | news | http://www.businessinsider.com/being-popular-in-high-school-leads-to-problems-in-adulthood-2014-6 |

Mikko Myrskyla, professor of demography at LSE and Director of the Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research in Rostock, Germany, said: "Our results show a temporary and transitory gain in parents' happiness around the birth of first and second children. | Not only one's own experience of the transition to parenthood, but also perceiving the well-being of others before and after having children, may affect the tempo and quantum of fertility. In addition to the type of social learning about the optimal timing and number of children to have , fertility decisions may be affected by observing the subjective experiences of others. We find divergent parental well-being trajectories by age at first birth and socioeconomic status. | [1] | Psychology | train | 1 | news | http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2014/10/141028082454.htm?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+sciencedaily+%28Latest+Science+News+--+ScienceDaily%29 |

In this study, however, cumin - which was rated positively when presented with the label "Indian food" - did not result in a slower reaction time, unlike parmesan cheese, which yield slower reaction times and was rated positively when presented with the "parmesan cheese" label.
