Is there any way to break up a couple (how to break up a couple with psychology)

10 18 night, as the core activity of the 2020 World Young Scientists Summit, the 2020 Pineapple Science Award was announced in Wenzhou Medical University, and nine awards were awarded, including physics award, mathematics award, psychology award, biology award, fantasy award and invention award.

Pineapple Science Award has been a very serious scientific research achievement award activity since it was established on 20 12. But it's interesting. With the slogan of "Salute to Curiosity", it rewards imaginative and interesting scientific research achievements and stimulates people's curiosity and enthusiasm for science. Known as the China version of the "Ig Nobel Prize".

Because the selection rules are too weird, some scientists feel ashamed of winning the prize and refuse to accept it; Some scientists put it on their resumes as an honor.

This year is the second time that the pineapple science prize has been awarded in Wenzhou. Which scientists with magical brains have won the prize?

Hygienic method of separating husband and wife

Winners: Dr. milie Auger, Department of Psychology, McGill University, Canada, etc.

As the saying goes, from a biological point of view, we have the basic need to establish and maintain attachment with others. A young man who has reached the age of marriage will never forget to look forward to a beautiful love even with a thermos cup soaked in Lycium barbarum.

However, there are many unexpected obstacles on the road of courtship. Dr Emily Oger of the Department of Psychology at McGill University in Canada and others have found that if people start a relationship, they can improve t a's understanding of the susceptibility to infectious diseases, for example, make t a notice that the plague is spreading, or make a questionnaire related to disease prevention, which will start a human mechanism called behavioral immunity in T A..

The direct effect of this human mechanism is to make those subjects with health awareness have a plummeting interest in falling in love. They would rather face the regret of missing true love, but also keep the peach blossom virus out of the door and never give in.

In recognition of researchers' efforts to break up a couple in an epidemic era full of unknown dangers, the 2020 pineapple scientific psychology award was awarded.

A bearded man was beaten.

Winners: Professor David R. Carrier, Department of Biology, University of Utah, USA.

Beard is facial hair preserved by human males in the process of evolution, and it is also one of their most obvious secondary sexual characteristics. This is a way of boasting, worthy of the name. From 199 1, the World Beard Championship is held every two years, and bearded handsome guys come to PK one after another.

What's the use of growing a beard? A view called "Boxing Hypothesis" holds that beards may have a protective function similar to that of lion mane. Men are more violent than women. Men should pay special attention to hand-to-hand combat, of course, not to be hit in the face.

To test this hypothesis, David Karel, a biologist and physicist at the University of Utah, designed a drop weight test to test the impact resistance of hair. They found that complete fur protection is outstanding, while shaved fur and pulled fur are useless. This also shows from one side that beating is the ultimate mission of beard compared with looking good.

In order to commend the researchers and give the dying beards in fashion a reason to live with a smile, they were awarded the 2020 pineapple physics science prize.

Games become prescription drugs for ADHD.

Winner: American game company Akili Interactive Labs.

Doctor: Your child has ADHD and needs to be treated as soon as possible so as not to affect his academic performance. I want to recommend the latest treatment for ADHD.

(Say, take out a stack of game publicity materials, "Let children play several classes, which can improve their attention." )

Parents: Have you met a charlatan?

In fact, this doctor is a real master in this field, and the game he recommended is also real, called "hard prescription", which was approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in June this year to treat some ADHD children aged 8 to 12. This is also the first game-based digital therapy device approved by the US Food and Drug Administration.

The full name of ADHD is "attention deficit hyperactivity disorder", and there are many different neurobiological reasons behind it. Studies have confirmed that children playing "hard Rx" can get higher scores in the attention variable test. This could be a trip.

Drama has changed the function and structure of the brain. However, the evaluation consultant of the Pineapple Science Award also pointed out that there are many games that claim to have "therapeutic" effects, but few of them have actually proved this in strict clinical trials. Therefore, we must be careful of the follow-up of charlatans. Pineapple Science Award and Biology Award

Six disgusting factors of human beings

Winner: Professor Val Curtis from London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine.

Dr. mícheal de Barra, Department of Life Sciences, Brunel University

Do you remember the last time you were ill? Motion sickness, morning sickness, eating flies, stepping on the footstool ... although it will make people feel extremely uncomfortable, it is a very critical ability to make people feel this way. It reminds you that some things will bring you great trouble, so avoid them if you can.

Scientists throw you a questionnaire, and you need to rate 72 items, and the disgusting degree is 0- 100. For example, someone got his nose on the table, someone handed you a bowl of soup stirred by a fly swatter and stepped on a pile of maggots, which is indescribable, and a thousand words are omitted here. ...

I believe that after completing the questionnaire, everyone will have a kind of "God, why am I so cheap?" However, Professor Val Curtis of the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine and Dr Michael Teh Barra of the Department of Life Sciences of Brunel University firmly believe that the six-factor scale of human nausea developed by them is firmly supported by the theory of evolutionary biology and can play a key role in making health policies in reality.

Building a lunar base with urine concrete

Winner: Anna-Lena Kj, Department of Engineering, University College, Osterford, Norway? Professor Nixon and others.

Perhaps in the near future, the moon migration tide will become a new round of wealth test for us. Some people can't get enough money to send their thighs to heaven even if they sell iron and lose everything. At this time, it is important to have some special values.

In the construction of the lunar base; Efficient plasticizer is needed to make qualified 3D printed concrete. Anna-Lena Jonesen of the University College of Osterford, Norway, and others found that there is an excellent candidate plasticizer hidden in the human body. After repeated tests, the cement made of urea, water and simulated lunar soil can pass all kinds of tests well.

In this way, when a moon enthusiast who is not so rich can provide proof that "I urinate much more than others, and I urinate better than others", he can also get a pass to settle in in advance and use his own boo to contribute to the construction of the moon city.

Study on the disappearance period of ordinary spoon

Winners: Dr. Campbell Caitken, Senior Research Fellow, Burnett Institute of Medicine, Australia, etc.

In this world, there are always some things that will leave us inadvertently. Dr Campbell aitken of Burnett Institute in Melbourne found that every time I went to the public area of the Institute for coffee, I couldn't find a stirring spoon. Oh, my God, what's going on? I asked them to buy a dozen and put them here the other day.

In order to find out the missing clues, the doctor bought 70 new spoons, skillfully numbered the bottom with nail polish, and counted the remaining spoons every two weeks for half a year. In this way, he obtained several important data. The half-life of spoons in public teahouses is 42 days, and the half-life of spoons in exclusive teahouses of the project team is 77 days, and the total disappearance rate is close to 0.99 spoons/100 teaspoon days.

No one in the institute announced that he was responsible for the 56 spoons that could never come back. The doctor lamented that this is like the "tragedy of the commons" raised by Austrian economists in the19th century. For public resources, everyone wants to enjoy convenience and let others protect and maintain it. Those spoons who are disappointed with human beings have probably gone to a planet without human beings, bionic people, reptiles and trees.

Physical formula manhole cover graffiti

Winner: Institute of Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences

Don't step on the manhole cover! Because it is full of knowledge points!

Grandpa sweeps the floor at No.8 South Third Street, Zhongguancun, Haidian District, Beijing. Every manhole cover he sweeps is painted with mass-energy formula, Fourier transform and things you will never understand in physics class.

In this magical land, the Institute of Physics of Chinese Academy of Sciences is located. Two years ago, in order to celebrate the 90th anniversary, they specially planned a graffiti activity on the manhole cover, smearing all the most important physics classics on the road. Look at this, it is Bernoulli equation, which was put forward by Bernoulli, a physicist from 1726.
