- Weight loss easier when you get paid for it

Losing weight is easier when there is money on the line, U.S. researchers said. They said weight-loss programs that reward people with money provided a powerful incentive to loss weight compared with more conventional approaches. The researchers said many weight-loss programs fail because people are being asked to make sacrifices now for rewards in the future.

금전적 보상이 있으면 살도 더 잘 빠져
돈이 걸려 있으면 체중 감량이 더 쉽다고 미국 연구진이 밝혔다. 기존의 접근 방식과 비교해 볼 때, 체중을 감량하려는 사람들에게 돈으로 보상을 해 주는 프로그램들은 강한 자극을 줄 수 있다는 것이다. 연구진은 체중 감량 프로그램이 사람들에게 미래에 받을 보상을 위해 현재에 희생을 하도록 요구하기 때문에 실패하는 것이라고 말했다.

<> - Envy is a dog’s life

Dogs can sniff out unfair situations and show a simple emotion similar to envy or jealousy, Austrian researchers reported. Dogs sulked and refused to shake paws if other dogs got treats for tricks and they did not, said an animal psychologist who led the study into canine emotions. The study also showed dogs licked and scratched themselves and acted stressed when they were denied rewards given to other dogs.

개도 다른 개를 부러워한다
개들도 불공평한 상황은 눈치를 채고 단순하나마 부러움이나 질투와 비슷한 감정을 드러낸다고 오스트리아 연구진들이 보고했다. 다른 개들이 재주를 부리고 간식을 받을 때 이를 받지 못한 개들은 시무룩해 하면서 발 흔들기를 거부했다고, 개의 감정에 대한 이번 연구를 이끈 동물 심리학자가 말했다. 또 다른 개들이 보상을 받을 때 이를 거부당한 개들은 몸을 핥고 긁으면서 스트레스를 받은 듯 행동했다고 연구 결과 나타났다.
