TL;DR: This article characterised the language use of users disclosing their mental illnesses on Twitter and found that differential language analyses, controlled for demographics, recover many symptoms associated with the mental illnesses in the clinical literature.

TL;DR: This narrative review and quantitative synthesis compares five predominant closed- and open-vocabulary methods, and compares the linguistic features associated with gender, age, and personality across the five methods using an existing dataset of Facebook status updates and self-reported survey data from 65,896 users.

TL;DR: It is shown that people who frequently walk barefoot have thicker and harder calluses than those who typically use footwear; however, in contrast to shoes, callus thickness does not trade-off protection for the ability to perceive tactile stimuli during walking.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hunter-gatherer males are more risk-seeking than females, even in late childhood
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used incentivized economic games to investigate sex differences in risk preferences in the Hadza, a population of hunter-gatherers, and found weak evidence that risk-taking increases in men as their mating opportunities increase.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hadza hunter-gatherer men do not have more masculine digit ratios (2D:4D).
Coren L. Apicella,Victoria A. Tobolsky,Victoria A. Tobolsky,Frank W. Marlowe,Kathleen W. Miller +4 more
TL;DR: These findings challenge the current view that lower 2D:4D in men is a uniform characteristic of the authors' species and may be related to known patterns of hormonal variation resulting from both genetic and environmental mechanisms.
