Not all leadership styles affect employee mental health equally. A 2023 meta-analysis of 93,000 participants finds that what protects wellbeing and what causes harm may require very different things from those in charge.
Could an AI infer your personality just from the way you write and speak? A 2023 study put the idea to a rigorous psychometric test. The results are more nuanced than either enthusiasts or sceptics might expect.
What is the best way to measure how cognitively demanding a job is? A 2023 study argues the answer might be simpler than we thought: just look at the average intelligence of the people doing it.
The workforce is getting older. In the United States and across much of the developed world, demographic shifts mean that a growing
What you say in a job interview matters. So does how you look saying it. A 2022 meta-analysis spanning 70 years of research finds that professional appearance, eye contact, and head movement are among the strongest predictors of interview ratings — and that structural safeguards do surprisingly little to change that.
Intelligence and personality have long been treated as separate domains. A sweeping 2022 meta-analysis of over 160,000 participants finds they are more meaningfully connected than most research has suggested — but only if you know where to look.
Growth Mindset Interventions: What Does the Evidence Actually Show? Growth mindset programs have spread through classrooms worldwide on the promise of large gains in student achievement. A rigorous 2022 meta-analysis of 97,000 students suggests the evidence behind that promise is far thinner than advertised.Growth mindset programs have spread through classrooms worldwide on the promise of large gains in student achievement.

The Problem The study of wisdom in psychology has long suffered from a curious irony: the field itself has lacked the very
Boxing has often received a lot of negative press due to the propensity for head injuries through repeat exposure to punches. The poor publicity is warranted. Competitive boxing comes with risks. While most boxers are amateurs and hobbyists who do not sustain brain injury, the numbers are much higher with professional boxers.
In previous blogs, we discussed the benefits of boxing for trauma, depression, and mental resilience. We have also reviewed studies examining the impact of exercise on general well-being, noting that boxing is one of the few modalities shown to benefit those recovering from mental health issues. A recent study by Bozdarov et al. (2022) adds further weight to this growing body of evidence. The paper reviews existing research on boxing as a mental health intervention. In this article, we summarise the study and outline its most important findings.
