    Does Attractiveness equal Intelligence?!

    When you think of your dream partner, what qualities do you imagine they have? Smart? Good sense of humor? 10/10 on the hottie scale?! Well, could you pick this ideal trifecta of a human out from a crowd merely by looks? This week, we’re bringing you a Tinder-esque study that we’re both admittedly interested in participating in… Our personal trait preferences in an ideal mate may change from the initial swipe right to the first IRL date. Is the dating app hottie wearing glasses and holding a book that you just matched with actually intelligent? Funny? Or are they just hot?! Our objective perceptions of people might not be totally accurate enough to equate attractiveness to intelligence or vice versa. Listen in for this study's perception-altering results! The study we're talking about today is called "Intelligence can be detected but is not found attractive in videos and live interactions" by Julie C. Driebe, Morgan J. Sidari, Michael Dufner, Juliane M. von der Heiden, Paul C. Bürkner, Lars Penke, Brendan P. Zietsch, and Ruben C. Arslan. Want to read more about the study?

    Self-Control Affects Loneliness?!

    If you’ve been around the past year and a half (which, if not, where have you been?!), you’ve probably felt the effects of the pandemic’s mandated social distancing and self-isolation. We know we sure have; we’ve been feelin’ pretty darn lonely. Loneliness has basically become its own epidemic as we’ve sheltered ourselves apart from physical interactions and connections. But can some instances of loneliness be caused by our own degree of self-regulation? On this episode of Study Buddies, we’re talking all about loneliness and self-control. What causes us to feel lonely? How does self-control (or lack thereof) influence feelings of loneliness? Is Akon’s song “Lonely” more relevant now than it was in 2004?! Join us as we delve into this incredibly humbling study! The study we've brought in today is called “Low Self-Control: A Hidden Cause of Loneliness?” by Olga Stravrova, Dongning Ren and Tila Pronk.

    Conspiracy Theorists Aren't Critical Thinkers?!

    Oh, conspiracy theories—the source of some truly harmful misinformation infiltrating the minds of many in our society. From Pizzagate to “hollow/flat Earth,’’ Bigfoot’s existence to the Moon being made of cheese (yes, a rather immature yet well-known childhood conspiracy, right?), the prevalence of these deceptions and those who believe them seems to be ever-growing. This week, we’re unpacking the science behind conspiracy theories and their relation to, or lack thereof, critical thinking. How do scientists define conspiracy theories? Why are humans so easily roped into following and believing such seemingly absurd theories?! This episode is surely bound to debunk some conspiracies about conspiracy theories. The study we’re talking about today is “Maybe a free thinker but not a critical one: High conspiracy belief is associated with low critical thinking ability” by Anthony Lantian, Virginie Bagneux, Sylvain Delouvée, Nicolas Gauvrit.
