Who likes loud cars? Ontario study suggests they skew young, male and score high on psychopathy and sadism

When she got the results, she expected to see a strong correlation between someone who prefers a look-at-me exhaust system and narcissism, but that wasn't the case.

"We found that it was sadism and psychopathy was predicting who wants to modify their mufflers, who feels more connected to their vehicle, and they think loud cars are really cool.

"It seems to be this callous disregard for other people's feelings and their reactions. That's the psychopathy coming out and it's also they probably get a kick out of enjoying watching people get startled."

Science or stereotype? Psychology study suggests young men who love loud cars may be psychopaths | CBC News

The gunshot pop of tailpipes, the roar of engines and the sound of tires screaming rubber against pavement evoke a range of emotions. A Western University prof in London, Ont., wondered "who wants to make this kind of noise." Her study suggests...

Conversational #AI and equity through assessing GPT-3’s communication with diverse social groups on contentious topics

source: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-024-51969-w

Our algorithm auditing #study focuses on two topics that we let our participants converse with the GPT-3 #chatbot: climate change and Black Lives Matter (BLM). The first topic represents a classic controversial science issue across the globe. Research has shown how public perceptions toward it vary across populations. Particularly, there exists a minority group that holds skeptical and denial attitudes toward the reality and human-induced nature of climate change, and this group is often challenging to persuade. By studying the topic of climate change, we have an excellent opportunity to examine how GPT-3 responds to this group compared to the opinion majority. Additionally, we can investigate whether social learning and attitudinal change occur post-chat. The second topic represents a highly-charged social issue that has received extensive media coverage and public attention over the past decade. We acknowledge that the word dialogue encompasses rich meanings especially when it comes to human’s dialogues with and via technologies. This paper uses the word #dialogue in the most broad sense and do not evaluate the genuineness, vulnerability and listening qualities of the dialogue.

Optimism bias is the difference between a person’s expectation and the resulting outcome. Around 80 percent of people have an optimism bias—so it appears to be an integral part of human nature.Optimism bias can have both positive and negative effects. First, optimism may be beneficial for physical health as one study reported that optimists are 14 percent less likely to die before age 65 and 30 percent less likely to die from cardiac arrest. Optimism also reduces stress and anxiety, which can have positive long-term effects on one’s health.

“Positivism is also a reflection of having a healthy or positive outlook that can lift the mood when people are going through difficult situations, where they are able to see the other side of the coin,” Ms. De Los Santos explained.

On the other hand, excessive optimism can lead people to make decisions that may cause harm in the future, including risky financial decisions, unprotected sex, substance use, etc. The backlash of the subsequent consequences can come at a significant personal cost.

“People with an optimism bias may be very confident in their abilities, specifically in the financial decisions they make, not recognizing that they may have weaknesses in not knowing the moves they are making,” Ms. De Los Santos confirmed. “Overconfidence is beneficial for self-esteem, but it can also lead to failure.”

A quotation from Confucius

Learning without thought ends in a blur. Thought without learning will soon totter.

Confucius (c. 551- c. 479 BC) Chinese philosopher, sage, politician [孔夫子 (Kǒng Fūzǐ, K'ung Fu-tzu, K'ung Fu Tse), 孔子 (Kǒngzǐ, Chungni), 孔丘 (Kǒng Qiū, K'ung Ch'iu)]

#ChatGPT and scientific papers in veterinary #neurology; is the genie out of the bottle?

Source: https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fvets.2023.1272755/full

Switching #languages can also switch #personality: #study

Source: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-languages-personalities-idUSSP4652020080624

“One respondent, for example, saw an ad’s main character as a risk-taking, independent woman in the Spanish version of the ad, but as a hopeless, lonely, confused woman in the English version,” said the researchers.

Humans pump so much #groundwater that #Earth’s #axis has shifted, #study finds

Source: https://edition.cnn.com/2023/06/26/world/pumping-groundwater-earth-axis-shifting-scn/index.html

Between 1993 and 2010, the period examined in the study, humans extracted more than 2,150 gigatons of groundwater from inside Earth, mostly in western North #America and northwestern #India, according to estimates published in 2010. To put that into perspective, if that amount were poured into the #ocean, it would raise global sea levels by about 0.24 inches (6 millimeters).
