Over the past 100 years, people have learned a lot of new and strange things about the human mind and all thanks to various psychological studies. Some of the studies were very interesting, while others were so cruel that they were considered illegal and inhuman. Here are the most interesting and crazy studies of human psychology:
10 The Fun Theory
In 2009, Volkswagen decided to launch a project called The Fun Theory in a metro station in Stockholm. The idea turned out to be ingenious and at the same time incredibly simple. The theory of fun says that in order for a person to enjoy doing something, it must be something that pleases and surprises him. In this case, the company made a piano out of ordinary subway steps, and the goal was to see how many people would want to go down the musical steps, and how many down the escalator. The number of people who chose to walk down the stairs increased by 66%. Surprisingly, people chose the healthier option because they had fun.
9 The Marshmallow Experiment
This experiment consisted of a series of studies analyzing delayed gratification that were conducted in the late 60s and early 70s. Psychologist Walter Mischel tried to understand whether the amount of reward for a person affects his success in the future.
In these studies, the psychologist offered children a choice: either take a small reward (in the form of one marshmallow or one cookie) right away, or wait a little (about 15 minutes) and double their reward, that is, receive 2 marshmallows or 2 cookies. A third of the children who participated in the study decided to wait to get more sweets. Subsequent experiments showed that most of the children who waited to get more sweets had a more prosperous life.
8. Experiment "Missing child".
Very often people do not pay due attention to their surroundings. This theory was proven in the "missing child" experiment.
The researchers printed out a missing child flyer with a photo and relevant information and hung it on the shop door. Some passers-by did not even pay attention to the ad, and those who saw it and studied it did not notice the "missing" boy from the ad, who was standing right next to the store. This experiment was repeated by other researchers and ordinary people in different cities. Here is one such example:
7. A Class Divided
In 1968, 3rd grade teacher Jane Elliot came up with an exercise that would show white children the effect of racism. She divided the class into children with brown and blue eyes.
On the first day, children with blue eyes were considered better, and she gave them more freedom and privileges than children with brown eyes. Both groups were forbidden to communicate with each other. The results were not long in coming. Blue-eyed students began to cope better in the classroom and at the same time mocked the brown-eyed ones. Children with brown eyes had low self-esteem and were less able to complete tasks. The next day, brown-eyed people had more privileges and the results were also not long in coming. As a result, the children realized that one should not judge a person by his appearance, and at the end of the lesson everyone hugged each other.
6Asch Conformity Experiment
Asch's experiments were a series of studies done in the 1950s that aimed to demonstrate how people conform in groups (to show the power of conformity in groups).
One of the participants was placed in the room with the actors. An image with three stripes of different lengths was hung in the room. The contestant was asked to point to the longest line, and the actors all chose the wrong answer on purpose. The goal was to find out if the participant succumbed to the general opinion. Most of the participants agreed with the wrong answer given by the actors.
5. Monster Study
This study was given such a name because of its unethical (if not monstrous) attitude towards people. In 1939, Wendell Johnson and his team selected 22 orphans. Some children were completely healthy, while others suffered from stuttering. Children with stuttering were praised and applauded when they did not stutter, while healthy children were humiliated and criticized. As a result of the experiment, children who were criticized developed speech problems that remained throughout their adult lives. This experiment, although very cruel, showed why children need to be encouraged and motivated at an early age.4. Halo effect
In psychology, the Halo Effect is the idea that people's overall opinion of a person is made up of just one property or trait.
To test this idea, one man decided to post two different videos on a dating site where he spoke the same text. In the first video, he was incredibly confident, while in the second he was more melancholy. Each video was shown to a group of girls in different rooms. The girls who watched the first video (with a confident man) said that they liked the man, but in the second room the girls did not like the man at all. This experiment perfectly illustrates the Halo Effect, and how just one character trait can affect the overall opinion of a person.
3. Cognitive dissonance
Everyone experiences cognitive dissonance. The first person to study this phenomenon was Jack Brehm, a psychology student at the University of Minnesota.
In 1956, he brought 8 of his wedding gifts such as a toaster, radio, and hair dryer to class and asked each student to rate each item based on how much they needed it. After that, he asked each student to choose between two subjects that they considered equally necessary and take home one of them. Later, the students were again asked to rate each item. As a result, it turned out that the students praised the previously chosen subject more and less the subject that they rejected for the first time. This experiment shows how people try to convince themselves that they made the right choice.
2. Blindness to change
If something around you suddenly changes, of course, you will immediately notice it, right? In fact, this is not always the case. When too much information enters the brain, it is unable to process it all. Take a look at this image
Now look at this image. What changed? Were you able to identify right away? 
"Change blindness" is a term that describes a person's difficulty with paying attention to significant change. Simply put, a person does not pay attention to an obvious change. Every day we experience such blindness. In one experiment, it was decided to test blindness to change using face recognition. A man approached the research participant and gave out a form to fill out, after which this person bent under the table to allegedly pick up something, and a completely different person and in different clothes got up. 75% of the study participants did not find any changes. Test yourself (you don't need to know English for this video):
1. Global Harvard Grant Study
This study spanned 75 years and involved 268 male students at Harvard University. During the experiment, data were recorded on various aspects of the life of each of them.
This exciting and unique study has shown that love, and the warmth and happiness that comes from it, actually fills a person with a sense of life satisfaction that we cannot get from other sources of our lives. The results of the study also showed that for complete happiness a person needs not only love, but also the opportunity to live in such a way that this does not affect love.
Today's school graduate should have not only knowledge of basic subjects, but also practical skills and abilities. To achieve this result, today's teachers use innovative teaching aids, one of which is learning activity. Already in the primary grades, students can be provided with interesting topics to carry out research work in order to identify and develop their abilities in a form that is interesting for the student.
Modern teaching methods have changed significantly in recent years. To identify the individual abilities of schoolchildren today, many teachers offer interesting topics for research activities already in elementary school.
This allows you to form the motivation of students to acquire knowledge, and also contributes to their general and personal development.
The study activity of schoolchildren is a specially organized individual or joint activity with other children. It can be creative, educational or playful. It is advisable to introduce its foundations already in the lower grades.
In this case, it becomes possible to solve the following pedagogical tasks:
- Encourage students to develop their creativity.
- Acquisition of exploratory learning skills as the most effective.
- Arouse interest in the study of science.
- To form the ability for independent learning and knowledge of the world around.
- Development of communication skills and ability to work in a team.
- Involving parents in the learning process.
This teaching method allows the child to develop independence, non-standard thinking and the ability to objectively evaluate the results of his own business.
For its successful implementation, the teacher must create the necessary conditions, the main of which are I:
- determination of motivation;
- creation of a creative atmosphere in the team of students;
- psychologically comfortable environment for each participant;
- research topics for elementary school should be selected taking into account age characteristics.
Important! This teaching method is more focused on high school students. However, the foundation of knowledge and skills is laid in early school age. Therefore, it should be implemented as early as possible.
It is extremely important, especially for younger students, to create a favorable environment for conducting classes. In this case, the psychological factor is of paramount importance. The proposed research work for children in the 1st grade should correspond to their age characteristics.
This condition also applies to other age categories of participants. Project topics for students in the first two years of study are selected by the teacher. Starting from the third year of study, students can independently make a choice of an interesting problem for them.
Selection of projects
With developing training, the process of establishing research activities includes several stages, which are presented in the table.
| Stage | Year of study | Tasks | Methods |
| First | 1 | To teach the student the correct formulation of questions, the ability to observe, make assumptions | Collective discussions, examination of objects, modeling of problem situations - in the process of conducting lessons. Excursions, educational games, modeling using available materials - outside the lessons |
| Second | 2 | To teach the student to determine the direction, compare facts, analyze them, draw conclusions and be able to draw them up, develop independence, support initiative | Conducting disputes, discussions, observations in accordance with the developed plan, speeches of children and teachers with stories - in the process of conducting lessons. Excursions, role-playing games, experiments, reports, individual modeling - after hours |
| The third | 3–4 | Accumulation and use of experience. Solving problems on your own. Mindfulness of reasoning and conclusions | Conducting research lessons, questionnaires, experimental activities and protection of results |
Cognitive interest is most inherent in early school age. It is on this psychological and physiological feature of this age category that the scientific-studying activity of children is based and the topics of research work in elementary school are selected.
Starting from the fifth year of study, for children, the establishment of social relationships with others and the desire to take a worthy place in the team come to the fore. At this age, independence begins to manifest itself clearly among schoolchildren, the scope of their activities expands.
The task of the teacher at this stage is to support and guide the creative and learning aspirations of students. Topics of research papers should be selected taking into account the interests of the student. For grade 5, there are many areas for research that allow adolescents to show independence, their thinking abilities and expand their space of action.

The scientific-studying process in elementary school has its own specifics. It lies in the special role of the teacher, who must approach such an activity creatively. This will make the learning process interesting, and therefore more productive.
Important! The primary school teacher should be able to captivate children, show them the significance of their work and achieve the active participation of parents in this process. This is a great opportunity to get close to children on the basis of common interests and joint activities.
The participation of parents of children is very useful. Knowing the nature and hobbies of their own child, they can help him in choosing topics, pick up the necessary literature and other materials for the necessary research.
Projects in elementary school
For the youngest students, research topics of a general primary school are offered, for example:
- How to protect my planet.
- Favorite toys.
- Disney cartoon characters.
- How to make a doll with your own hands.

This list is endless. Babies are very inquisitive. They can offer any topic that interests them. In the process of studying it, children will gradually learn how to properly plan and carry out scientific research activities, which include the following steps:
- choice of topic;
- goal definition;
- implementation of the study;
- preparation for defense;
- protection.
Questions for research activities in some subjects can be offered to students in both primary and secondary schools.
The world
On this topic, the teacher can offer one of the following questions for students from the first to the fourth year of study:
- How to protect coniferous forests.
- How can you put the packaging to good use?
- Plants of the Red Book.
- The secret of the birth of stars.

- What is the difference between strawberries and strawberries.
- The kindest dogs.
For research activities in this direction, any object or phenomenon of the surrounding world is suitable. In doing so, your child will learn how to implement their project step by step, which will help them develop more complex problems in the coming years.
Russian language
This subject is studied at school throughout the entire period of study. To make its study entertaining, starting from the first days, the teacher's creative approach to teaching a serious subject will help. The following topics proposed for research work in the Russian language can be simplified or complicated, taking into account the individual abilities of the student:
Project topics for grade 1:
- alphabet in names;
- how to show letters with gestures;
- funny alphabet;
- What is a dictionary for?

- what the word consists of;
- cases and their names;
- noun - the main part of speech;
- how to build a sentence out of words.
Russian Language Projects
For grade 4:
- how the word affects the mood;
- history of proverbs;
- speaking surnames on the examples of famous writers;
- history of my name;
- What are punctuation marks used for?
- how commas affect the meaning of a phrase.
For grade 5:

- history of etiquette;
- words of foreign origin;
- why polite words are needed;
- how not to be denied a request with the help of words;
- dialectisms on the example of works;
- the influence of the Internet on the Russian language.
Some issues of research work on the Russian language are relevant for any age. On the recommendation of the teacher, you can choose to study such topics that will be especially relevant among students.
Russian literature
The school curriculum provides for the study of literature from 5 to 11 years of study. The following project topics for interesting research papers in the literature will provide an opportunity to explore the chosen issue in more depth in a fun way:
- Heroes of the epic "Ilya Muromets and the Nightingale the Robber" in cinematography.
- Plots of mythology in painting.
- Russian poets and love lyrics.
- How to perceive proverbs.
- Is it possible to believe a fairy tale.
- Fables and fairy tales - what's the difference.
- Images of animals in fairy tales.
- Images of plants in the verses of A. Fet.
- Screen version of the works of Russian classics.
Important! In the age of computers and the Internet, it is very difficult to attract students to read a book. Research projects can have a stimulating effect on children.
These projects, with a competent approach, can be of great interest to schoolchildren and encourage them to read the works of the school curriculum intended for study in the 5th grade.
Ilya Muromets and the Nightingale the Robber
Story
Knowledge of history gives a person a more complete understanding of the events taking place in the present time. When choosing a project topic for conducting research work on history, the student must understand the full responsibility of the upcoming project. In carrying it out, the author must be extremely objective in his conclusions and not succumb to the desire to embellish historical facts.
The study of history within the framework of the school curriculum begins from the 5th year of the general education school. Children can be offered the following directions:
- Who opened the tomb of Tutankhamun.
- The history of the ships of the ancient world.
- Ancient Egypt and art.
- The history of costumes of ancient peoples.
- Myths and legends of Ancient Greece.
- The first Christian churches.
- First Olympic Games.
- The patriotic people of Greece.
- Spartan education.
In the collective performance of research work on history, children have the opportunity, in the course of collecting information and general discussion of the facts obtained, to get closer and learn to find solutions and draw conclusions during the discussion.
Ancient Egypt and art
English language
To date, the study of English as part of the course of the school curriculum is provided from the second year of a comprehensive school. But since different educational institutions begin to teach a foreign language at different times, and the level of learning can vary significantly, it is difficult to classify the topics of projects for conducting research work in English by year.
It is expedient to discuss projects in groups. This allows children to overcome the barrier of oral communication in a foreign language, to study the features of the English language in more depth and understand the translation of expressions that are difficult from this point of view.
Mathematics
When studying this subject at school, many students are faced with the problem of memorizing the multiplication and division tables. Project topics for research papers in mathematics make the study of this material interesting. During the 3rd year of schooling, children are encouraged to explore problematic material in an entertaining way. The third grade of elementary school is very important in the study of mathematics, as it provides basic knowledge for further study of this exact science.

Conclusion
Modern methods of educational activity at school are designed to teach the student to learn. This will allow him to learn on his own in the future. To implement this direction today, school teachers already widely use the scientific and studying activities of schoolchildren.

WORK INTERESTING TO YOU, COLLEAGUES!
The school is becoming more and more popular. When students do research, they are faced with the question: “How to write and design this type of work?” It should be noted that this is not an easy question. Therefore, our article will tell you how to write a research paper, as well as suggest the most interesting topics for research. So, first things first.
Stage 1. Choosing a topic
Before you go to the library and select the necessary literature, it is important to think about the topic of the study. But where to start? First of all, you need to ask yourself some important questions about your research. After all, choosing a theme is the most important and main step! It is important that there is enough material and literature on your problem. If you are researching any new phenomenon, then keep in mind that there will be very few sources of information. If the problem has been little studied, is it appropriate to have your own opinion in this work?
Research work at school or university should be devoted to a topic of interest to you. If you study the one that is not indifferent to you, then the result will be positive. Today, research papers in literature are very popular. Children consider the features of poetics in the poems of various writers, study oral folk art in their native lands, and so on.
Teacher's opinion
Be sure to discuss the chosen topic with the teacher. Listen to his advice, perhaps the teacher's ideas will be original. Quality work is in the sphere of interests of the teacher. Remember that teachers will always help you.
Don't be afraid to adjust the research topic. It happens that the work does not move forward. Do not despair! It is enough to revise the topic together with the teacher and continue research work in literature, history, social science, and so on. You can adjust not only the topic, but also goals with tasks. Please note that it is impossible to deviate strongly from the original theses. This can fundamentally affect the course of work in the future.
Stage 2. Gathering information
To figure out how to write a research paper, you need to know the algorithm. The next step after choosing a topic is collecting information. Once a topic is chosen, you need to select encyclopedias, books, magazines, newspaper interviews, blog posts that are relevant to your problem.
Attention! The more sources you read, the better, even if you are writing a research paper in mathematics, which is based on calculations.
In the process, refer to empirical research that is endorsed by others on your subject. Don't neglect the library. The method, of course, is "grandfather's". But it is in this place that you will find a lot of information! Ask questions to the staff of the reading room. Contact them for help. After all, that is what their job is all about.
Seek help online. Do not use the first three links on your request. The information that you find on the Internet should be analyzed, since websites and various forums are not the most reliable sources. You will find a lot of useful knowledge on sites with domains:
- gov and others.
When formulating a query, use synonyms and cognates.
Stage 3. Analysis of the received information
And we continue to figure out how to write a research paper. We pass to the next, already analytical stage. At this stage of the research, you need to systematize and structure the information found. First, you need to read everything. Secondly, make the necessary notes in the margins, put bookmarks, as it will come in handy later on! It is very convenient when the information is systematized by color. For example, if you are writing a research paper in mathematics, then in orange you can mark information about the discovery, in red - text about scientists, and so on.
After you have decided on the sources, you need to make a preliminary list of references. It is necessary to write out the authors, the year of publication of the book or magazine, where it was published, the number of pages. And, of course, be sure to write down the page number that contains the information you need. This will come in handy even at the stage of protection!
Stage 4. Definition of the essence of the study
There are two approaches to how to write a research paper. This fact should be taken into account before joining the workflow. So:
- Discussion research work. It is based on a controversial issue or an argument in favor of a point of view. Naturally, the problem today should be controversial, then your opponents will be interested and will be able to bring counterarguments.
- Analytical research work. Offers listeners a fresh idea or perspective that addresses an important issue. Interesting topics for research papers of this nature may not cause high-profile controversy during the defense. You must convince your listeners that your views are worth listening to.
Stage 5. The structure of scientific work
The researcher must understand that his work must be strictly structured.
1. Title page.
3. Introduction. It reveals the problem, topic, relevance, purpose of novelty, literature review and methodology.
4. Theoretical chapter.
5. Practical chapter. There may be several of them, depending on the purpose and objectives of the study.
6. Research results.
7. Conclusion. Contains conclusions, as well as the practical significance of the study.
8. List of used sources.
9. Application. Their number also depends on the study.
Stage 6. Work on the text
Before you sit down at the computer and print the study, you need to familiarize yourself with the rules for processing such works. Check margins, line spacing, color, font, point size, and so on. If these rules are not followed, the commission has the right not to accept your work. Save studies on multiple storage media:
- Email;
- flash drive;
- HDD;
- virtual disk.
Rewrite them regularly. In the event of a laptop or computer breakdown, you will have the latest version of the study at hand.
Now you know how to write a research paper. And we bring to your attention a list of interesting topics.
Possible research topics
You can research anyone and anything. Every object or phenomenon deserves it. For example, consider some examples of chemistry topics:
- aromatherapy;
- gifts of fire;
- history and properties of soap;
- salt secrets.
Ecology is also able to offer interesting topics for research. For example:
- where it is easier to breathe;
- study of water in a certain area;
- nanotechnology;
- study of the properties of water;
- live colors;
- microflora;
- problems of homeless animals;
- hay and so on.
We offer you a list of common topics:
- ways to quickly memorize poems;
- what is the difference between Russian and European snowmen;
- how to learn to forgive insults;
- How do weather events affect mood?
- how to learn about the mood with the help of gestures;
- what can be said about the character of a person by his handwriting;
- symmetrical landscapes;
- magic numbers in fairy tales;
- the evolution of mobile phones;
- arrangement and operation of the piano;
- differences between road signs in Russia and Europe;
- whether the character depends on the name;
- electricity in the body;
- how to find and maintain emotional balance.
As a rule, environmental topics deserve special attention in 2017. 2016 has been declared the year of cinema. The year 2015 was devoted to literature.
There is a lot of controversy going on in 2018. The first propose to declare it the year of the theater, the second - the year of unity of Russia, the third - the year of the fight against cancer. The controversy has not yet subsided.
Our article has come to an end. We wish you creative success on your research path!
The science
What would the world be like without scientific research? Most people will agree that some of the studies can be very informative, others not so helpful, and still others are a waste of time and money.
The list below contains rather unusual studies that are, at the very least, entertaining. However, some still have certain merits, others fall into the category of dubious and should be treated with distrust.
10 Elephant Confession
Research: The Elephant's Self-Recognition
The experts, placing a large mirror in the garden, observed the behavior of three Asian elephants, which they named Lucky, Maxine and Patty. The letter X was painted on the bridge of the nose of Lucky with white paint, and her opposite side of the head was marked with a similar sign, only they did it with paint that does not leave marks, but which has an identical smell and texture.
When Lucky saw her reflection in the mirror, she repeatedly tried to reach the white mark with her trunk. It was the last self-identification test. Other elephants also made repetitive movements in front of a mirror and used their trunks to "inspect" their body parts. Maxine even, being in front of the mirror, put her trunk in her mouth as if she was trying to study what she had there.
Interesting fact: the elephants have already joined the monkeys and dolphins, which are part of a small group of animals that recognize themselves in the mirror.
9. Recognition of a sheep
Study: Sheep Recognition of Different Faces
Specialists from the Babraham Institute investigated the ability of sheep to identify and recognize their own kind, as well as people. The experts trained the sheep to recognize the face of the pair, which is associated with food. 20 sheep were represented by photographs of 25 pairs of faces.
As a result, it was determined that a sheep can recognize a person associated with receiving food, even in profile. Later, a team of experts found that a sheep can remember more than 50 faces of its own kind in addition to a human face for up to two years.
Interesting fact: The scientists concluded that because sheep have such a sophisticated facial recognition skill, they appear to be much more social animals than previously thought.
Research: Do married couples become similar to each other over the years?
The study involved 110 people who were given photographs of random faces. Volunteers had to pair up those men and women who most resembled each other. On two dozen there were couples who had just got married, on the other two dozen the same people were depicted, but already after 25 years of marriage. As a result, the subjects were much more likely to "coincide" with couples who had lived together for many years than couples of newly-minted husband and wife.
Interesting fact: no one has given an exact explanation for this phenomenon, but some possible reasons have been put forward. The first has to do with diet and says that if both partners eat a high-fat diet, then their faces tend to look plump.
Another explanation has to do with the environment, namely sunlight, which affects the skin in a similar way. Proponents of the third point of view say that people are more inclined, at a subconscious level, to choose for their partners the person who, with age, will resemble themselves.
The most popular view is that it's all about empathy. Couples with age become similar to each other, because they empathize with each other, and therefore copy facial expressions from one another. Then, over time, due to constant empathy, their faces become similar to each other.
7. Smart hips
Study: Relationship Between Curvy Thighs and Intellectual Ability
The experts analyzed the data of more than 16,000 women and girls who measured their body parameters in detail, and also studied their level of education and their scores on various cognitive tests. Women measured their waist-to-hip ratio.
The report notes that women with waists that are about 70 percent of their hips scored higher on intelligence tests and tend to be more educated than women with higher waist-to-hip ratios.
In addition, women with lower scores, as well as their children, also scored higher on cognitive tests. One theory says it's all about the omega-3 fatty acids found in her thigh fat, which is why her thighs are a key indicator of her heart health. It is also important for the health of her brain, and the brain of the child she will give birth to.
Interesting fact: the scientists describe the study as quite intriguing, but emphasize that the differences in cognitive abilities found by the researchers are not that great. For this reason, they believe, it would be a mistake to interpret the results as follows: women with a curvaceous figure are smarter.
6. Woman in red
Study: Are women in red more attractive?
As part of this study, the authors decided to check whether the attitude of men towards women changes depending on the color of the clothes of the latter? In one experiment, psychologists interviewed a large number of men who were given the following situation: "Imagine that you are going on a date with this woman, you have $100 in your wallet. How much are you willing to spend on a date?" The men were shown pictures of different women dressed in different colors.
As a result, women dressed in red received the maximum number of points that men wanted to spend money on them. In all subsequent experiments, women dressed in red or wearing some red piece of clothing were rated as more sexually attractive than women wearing a different color.
Interesting fact: one of the theories explaining the results of the study suggests that there are deep biological roots, because male primates, such as baboons and chimpanzees, are attracted to females that have a red tint on various parts of the body.
5. Herring gases
Study: do herrings communicate with each other by gassing?
Two teams of experts carried out this project. One of them investigated the behavior of the Pacific herring in British Columbia, while the other focused on the study of the Atlantic herring in Scotland.
As a result, it was found that both types of herring create a mysterious underwater noise. As it turned out, this high-frequency sound is nothing but air from the anus. The noise was always accompanied by a thin stream of bubbles. The researchers suspect that the herring "hears" these bubbles, and thus forms a defense at night.
Interesting fact: the researchers called this phenomenon a "rapidly recurring tic." Unlike the human version, as expected, fish BPT brings individuals together.
4. Bra that holds the chest
Study: A bra that supports bouncing breasts
The experiment involved 70 women with bra sizes ranging from A to very large. Each woman walked, jumped and ran while wearing a different type of bra. During the "exercises" biomechanical measurements of the movements of the mammary gland were carried out in three directions: up and down, from side to side, outward - inward.
During walking, the female breasts moved relatively little in all three directions. But when the participants started jumping or running, their breasts moved proportionately more in some directions.
The study found that A-cup women's breasts moved 53 percent less when wearing a sports bra compared to 55 percent of G-cup wearers. D-cup breasts weigh approximately 7-10 kilograms, and have very little natural support from the skin.
In the end, the experts concluded that regardless of breast size, conventional bras do not meet the requirements for bouncing breasts.
Interesting fact: the momentum generated by intense bouncing can stretch the connective tissue, which can cause, in addition to sagging skin, sharp pain. Researchers estimate that about 50 percent of women experience chest pain while exercising.
3. Sexuality and fertility
Study: Does a woman's walk get sexier during peak fertility?
The idea behind this study was to determine if women give men unconscious signals about their levels of sex hormones in their blood. A leading researcher at the university believed that a sexy gait is one such signal.
She analyzed the gaits of female volunteers and also measured the level of their sex hormones contained in saliva. Then a video clip of women's walks was shown to 40 men, who had to rate the attractiveness of the walks, and she compared the results with the results of hormonal tests.
The results were so amazing that she decided to repeat the experiment with another group of men. The researchers found that women with the most enticing gait were far from ovulating, and women who were most ready to conceive walked with minimal movement of their hips and knees.
Interesting fact: it has been suggested that during the period of maximum hormones in the female body, a woman is most interested in forming an attachment to one man who will help her raise children, and not in order to demonstrate her fertility and hook more males. In addition, a sexy walk is something too obvious, so women often "take advantage" of changes in smells and facial expressions that can only be felt at a close distance.
2. Sexy scream
Study: why female monkeys scream during sex
In order to find out what the purpose of the female monkeys is, the behavioral scientist and primatologists focused their attention on the Barbary macaques in the Gibraltar nature reserve, which they observed for two years. The researchers found that females screamed in 86 percent of all sexual encounters. When females screamed, males ended sexual intercourse with ejaculation in 59 percent of cases, in the absence of screams, ejaculation occurred in less than 2 percent of contacts.
To make sure that the screams are the result of vigorous sex, the scientists counted the number of pelvic movements of males and the time during which they did them. They found that when the females screamed, the speed of their movements increased. This naturally led to more vigorous sex. In the end, it was concluded that female monkeys scream during sex to help their partners reach climax. Scientists have found that without these calls, Barbary males almost never ejaculate.
Interesting fact: male and female Barbary macaques are promiscuous, often having sex with many partners. Females scream at times when they are most ready for fertilization, so males can make the most of their sperm.

Research: Correlation between penis size and leg size
In this study, researchers measured 104 men's leg length and ratio to the length of their penis. Since there is no perfect way to measure a man's penis, the experts used the method used in many other studies, they simply stretched the skin as much as possible.
This gives a pretty good idea of how long the penis is when fully erect. As a result of this study, experts came to the conclusion that there is absolutely no relationship between the length of a man's dignity and the size of his penis with leg length.
Interesting fact: in another study, a group of Greek experts measured height, weight, waist-to-hip ratio, and finger length and compared them to the length of the penises of 52 men aged 19 to 38. They found that age and physical characteristics had nothing to do with penis size, with the exception of index finger length, which correlated with flaccid penis size.
