Un recente studio tedesco dimostra come un breve training metacognitivo, inducendo sorpresa e dubbio, possa ridurre l'ostilità tra fazioni politiche opposte. L'intervento agisce sull'eccessiva sicurezza, la 'overconfidence', offrendo spunti clinici cruciali per lavorare sulla rigidità del pensiero in terapia.

Uno studio recente svela come l'infedeltà non sia solo una questione morale, ma possa originare da vulnerabilità personali. L'incapacità di essere autentici nella relazione, legata a stili di attaccamento insicuro, emerge come un predittore chiave della propensione al tradimento.

Uno studio recente sfida l'idea del 'realismo depressivo', mostrando che la depressione induce un bias pessimistico. La ricerca rivela che, sebbene i pazienti apprendano da esperienze positive, questo nuovo ottimismo è estremamente fragile e facilmente reversibile, a differenza delle credenze negative che si radicano profondamente.
