No matter what you like, your garden speaks volumes about you. Take this quiz and see how well you're coping with the inevitable weeds. Spring is here, flowers are in full bloom, and with each bud bursts forth any number of cheap psychological tricks. Of course, there are the obvious ones. And when a death occurs, flowers express your sympathy to the family.
Flowers can say a lot, but old findings reborn anew suggest they also do much more.
And where there's a rebirth of 'new' research, there are fresh-cut cheap applications. Evolutionary psychology is a modern field of study that's green with new findings and blossoming with explanations about human behavior. It concentrates on the human ability to adapt to the environment. Researchers in this field have discovered, among other things, that humans prefer certain surroundings to others. That's common sense.
