Pink or Blue: Gender conformity in different sexes
Abstract Gender Identity is important for the functional progress of society, as some behaviours which belong to masculine or feminine norms can impede the progression of society, such as aggression or assertiveness. This observational research observes if gender conformity is still alive in modern society, and if subconsciously males and females tend to prefer to the colour associated with their own gender. Researchers hypothesized that there would be a significant correlation between the sex of the samples observed and whatever they would pick a blue coded or a pink coded cake. However, results show that there is no significant difference between the choices of gender-associated colour between the two groups. This might indicate that the conformity to gender norms and values are not as strong with age, or that perhaps the observational design allowed the samples to not be obstructed by the social desirability bias. Results might also suggest that individuals are not controlled by gender norms, but rather act following their free will.

'Her Status Says Online'
Many social media apps and websites share information about whether a person is online with their network (e.g. friends list), which are known as online status indicators. Importantly, these online status indicators convey our availability to others. They inform them about whether we are online or offline, and often even indicate the last time we were logged on. Recently, my friend told me that he has to limit his use of WhatsApp because otherwise his ex will see that he is online and try to initiate a conversation. If you’ve ever suspected that you’re being ghosted after a second date after getting no reply to your several messages or impatiently waited for a response from your friend who is online but not replying to you amidst an argument, then you would be painfully aware of just how much anxiety that little online indicator is capable of causing.

Should We Use Our DNA For Profile Matching in Dating Apps?
The use of DNA for matching profiles by dating websites and apps In a recent article, Emily Mullin published a thoughtful discussion on the possible development of dating apps that use genetic information from its users, to eliminate matches that could lead to offspring with genetic disorders. In her piece, she described the implications of such tools and argued against the view that genetics-based matching is a form of Eugenics.

ESFJ's are Incredible!
ESFJ’s are one of the most popular personality types in the general population. There are far more females who have this specific personality type. Male and female ESFJ’s will certainly have a lot in common, however there are some major differences as well. ESFJ’s tend to want to fit easily with society so they will go to great lengths to fit into their own perceived gender roles. People with this personality type are very outgoing, gregarious, fun-loving, warm, friendly, emotional, sensitive, and somewhat dramatic at times. ESFJ’s are well-liked by most people which is a good thing because there are a lot of them in the world!

Monogamy, is it natural or Possible?
A concept I've always had trouble understanding. I've always contemplated if I could practice it as well. Monogamy, the very word burns my fingertips as I type this post. Is this a natural concept? Or is it a societal structure designed to make us feel whole if we're conjoined to one partner.

Does Infancy Attachment Impact Your Relationships?
Do you remember being a baby? Do you remember the things you did with your caregiver? Chances are the answer to that question is no. This doesn't mean that that time doesn't play a hugely significant role in how we develop. Infancy attachment plays a major role in our development or trust and how we approach future relationships.

Zodiac Signs and Psychology
“You’re such a Capricorn”—the statement that started my journey of understanding the categorization of personalities and self-discovery. I soaked up every article that came my way on Facebook, every “Tell Us Your Sign And We’ll Tell You What Flavor Cheesecake You Are” quiz, all because I’m obsessed with the idea of predicting behavior and putting people in boxes. It’s been six or so years since I started logging my own findings, trying to bridge the gap between behavioral art and science. What I can tell you is this: every story has multiple pieces, as do our personalities.
