StudyFinds

StudyFinds aims to present new research in a way that is accessible to a wide audience, avoiding complex scientific language. The articles we share are clear, concise summaries of research intended to spark discussions. We don't take a stance on the studies we feature; instead, we invite our readers to engage in conversations about the validity of the findings. Every study and survey we publish undergoes careful review by our editors to ensure that the research methods are sound and impartial. We maintain transparency by disclosing the funding sources behind each article. If any research is retracted, we promptly remove it from our site and provide corrections for any inaccurate information. Since our launch in December 2016, StudyFinds.org has quickly established itself in the daily news landscape by highlighting research that resonates with the general public. Our team diligently searches for recent studies released by universities, peer-reviewed journals, or reputable organizations, ensuring that all sources are thoroughly checked by our skilled editorial staff.

How Hugging Your Child Can Shape Their Future Personality

1 week ago | studyfinds.org | Sophia Naughton

Parenting matters, even for identical twins. Children who received more maternal affection between the ages of 5 and 10 grew into more open, conscientious, and agreeable young adults than their genetically identical siblings who received less warmth. Some traits are shaped by nurture, not just nature. While openness, conscientiousness, and agreeableness were influenced by parenting, traits like extraversion and neuroticism showed no such effect—suggesting those may be more genetically determined.
Suddenly on the Spectrum: Discovering Autism as an Adult

1 week ago | studyfinds.org | Steve Fink |Faith Coleman

Autism is one of the most common neurodevelopmental disorders. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that there are about 5,437,988 adults with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in the United States. That’s about 2.21% of the adult population. Gender distribution in adults mirrors the ratios in children: about 3.62% of adult males live with ASD, while .86% of women are affected.
Laser-Guided Robot Farmers Offer Hope for Shrinking Labor Force

1 week ago | studyfinds.org | Sophia Naughton

Breakthrough navigation tech allows farm robots to move precisely between crop rows without relying on GPS or expensive field modifications. The system uses LiDAR and real-time feedback to keep robots within 2 inches of their target path and maintain proper orientation, even on uneven terrain. Virtual testing slashed development time, helping researchers fine-tune the robot’s design before real-world deployment in greenhouses.
Sports Bras With Maximum Support May Actually Be Causing Back Pain

1 week ago | studyfinds.org | Sophia Naughton

Too much support can backfire: Sports bras designed to eliminate all breast movement may actually increase stress on the spine, potentially raising the risk of back pain during running. Some bounce is beneficial: Controlled breast motion may act as a natural shock absorber, helping to dissipate forces and reduce spinal loading, especially in women with larger breasts.
How a Missing Inner Core May Have Split Mars' Magnetic Field in Two

1 week ago | studyfinds.org | Sophia Naughton

Mars likely never developed a solid inner core during its early history, meaning its magnetic field was generated by a fully molten core, unlike Earth’s layered core structure. This all-liquid core helps explain why Mars’ ancient magnetic field was much stronger in the southern hemisphere, solving a decades-old mystery about the planet’s magnetic asymmetry.
The Sun Didn’t Change—We Did: How Humans Dimmed and Brightened the Earth

1 week ago | studyfinds.org | Sophia Naughton

After decades of “global dimming” caused by pollution, surface sunlight levels are now rebounding in parts of the world, especially in countries that have cleaned up their air. Tiny particles from industrial and vehicle emissions scatter sunlight, reducing how much reaches the ground. As countries like China reduce air pollution, sunshine levels are rising again.
Your Child’s Mattress May Be Emitting Toxic Chemicals While They Sleep, Study Warns

1 week ago | studyfinds.org | Sophia Naughton

Children’s mattresses can emit a range of harmful chemicals, including plasticizers, flame retardants, and UV filters, especially when exposed to body heat and weight during sleep. Some mattresses contained chemicals at levels that violate Canadian safety limits for children’s products, and even “eco-certified” models weren’t always free of restricted substances.
The 7 Keys to Sleep Health-And Why Missing Just One Could Hurt Your Heart

1 week ago | studyfinds.org | Sophia Naughton

It’s not just about getting 7 to 9 hours of sleep. A consistent bedtime, good sleep quality, and staying alert during the day are all independently linked to heart health, according to a new scientific statement from the American Heart Association. Irregular sleep can seriously increase heart risks. People with varying bedtimes, frequent naps, or excessive daytime sleepiness face higher odds of obesity, type 2 diabetes, heart attacks, and stroke—even if they sleep enough overall.
The New Money Mindset: How Americans Are Embracing Frugality

1 week ago | studyfinds.org | Steve Fink

61% of Americans agree that being “frugal” is less tacky today than 10 years ago, viewing it as being careful with money (46%) rather than “cheap” (23%). Generational differences exist in financial openness: only 13% of Gen Z would be uncomfortable asking basic money questions compared to 64% of baby boomers.
Fermented Foods Like Sauerkraut Help Shield Your Gut From Inflammation

1 week ago | studyfinds.org | Sophia Naughton

Fermented cabbage, but not raw cabbage or brine, protected intestinal cells from inflammation-related damage in lab tests, suggesting unique gut health benefits created during fermentation. Researchers identified specific compounds like D-phenyl-lactate (D-PLA), indole-3-lactate (ILA), and GABA that increased during fermentation and contributed to gut barrier protection.
