Sexual arousal can lead to “tunnel vision” that makes it more difficult to recognize when someone is just not that into you, according to new research in Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin.

Older adults report fewer recent regrets than younger adults, finds research published by the American Psychological Association. In addition, although older and younger adults report a similar number of long-term regrets, older adults experience less anger and frustration when they think about those mistakes and missed chances. The research highlights how both age and time shape our emotional responses to past decisions.

A meta-analysis by Associate Professor Wang Zhe and PhD candidate Cheng Chao (East China Normal University) in Educational Psychology Review finds that seductive details have a small but significant negative effect on learning outcomes. Using three-level meta-analysis and MASEM, the study provides the first cross‑study evidence that extraneous cognitive load mediates this effect.
