Do people with firm handshakes really make better first impressions on others? What happens when we imagine “what might have been” in various situations? Can our attitudes be affected by information we don’t even notice? Have gender stereotypes changed in recent years? Do we prefer as romantic partners people who view us favorably or people who see us for ourselves? What is jealousy? What are its major causes? How can we get other people to say “yes” to our requests? Is there such a thing as “pure altruism”-helping others without expecting anything in return? Does heat really increase aggression? Do people accomplish more working alone or together? Is justice really blind, or are jurors influenced by the race, gender, and physical appearance of persons on trial?
