Yellow is usually the color of happy, joyful emotions. But according to a new study, not all people associate the sunshiney shade with good vibes.

To find out what factors might play a role, researchers tested a new hypothesis: What if people's physical surroundings affect their feelings about certain colors? For instance, if someone lived in cold and rainy Finland, would they feel differently about the color yellow from someone who lived near the Sahara Desert?

The researchers looked at color-emotion data from an ongoing international survey of 6625 people in 55 countries. The survey asks participants to rate 12 colors on how closely they are associated with feelings including joy, pride, fear, and shame. Yellow is not so fun in the sun The darker the shade in the below map, the higher the likelihood of people associating the color yellow with joyful emotions. Overall, people were more likely to associate yellow with joy when they lived in rainier countries that lay farther from the equator, researchers report in the Journal of Environmental Psychology. A. Cuadra/ Science The team looked only at the data for yellow, and analyzed how different factors—including hours of sunshine, hours of daylight, and amount of rainfall—lined up with the emotions people reported for the color. The two best predictors of how people felt about yellow were the annual amount of rainfall, and how far they lived from the equator, the team reports this month in the Journal of Environmental Psychology . The farther someone lived from the equator, the more likely they were to appreciate some bright hues: In Egypt, the likelihood of yellow being associated with joy was just 5.7%, whereas in chilly Finland it was 87.7%. In the United States, with its moderate climate and amber waves of grain, people's yellow-joy association levels were between 60% and 70%. The team also checked whether associations changed with the season—whether, for example, people in a certain country liked yellow more in the winter than they did in the summer. The researchers found that opinions about color remained fairly constant year-round—even when the weather changed, the data on yellow-joy associations were as good as gold.

Why do I look so old in pictures?

Speaking to The Telegraph, plastic surgeon Rajiv Grover explained that the angle and shape of the lens play a big role, saying, “The phone's 28mm camera lens does exactly what time does to your face, enlarging the front of your face so that it looks bigger, as well as amplifying the features that get larger as you age. ...

graziadaily.co.uk - Why Your Selfies Can Make You Look 'Up To Seven Years Older' | Grazia

by Daniela Morosini |

If you've spent a few minutes (or let's be honest, about thirty) taking selfies then wondered why they all look like a tired, older version of you then we have the answer. And no, for once it's not thanks to the lighting - it's your smartphone's camera that's to the blame. Speaking to The Telegraph, plastic surgeon Rajiv Grover explained that the angle and shape of the lens play a big role, saying, “The phone’s 28mm camera lens does exactly what time does to your face, enlarging the front of your face so that it looks bigger, as well as amplifying the features that get larger as you age.” “Add to that the fact that you tend to look down at your phone, which makes the skin on your neck and jowls look saggy." Crikey - and there we were worrying about our unblended contour. Put in layman's terms, as we age, we lose volume from the parts of your face where you want it, like your cheeks and mouth. This is what causes a more 'hollow' looking face, with exacerbated under-eye circles, sagging cheeks and a less pouty mouth. Instead, the volume travels forward and sits more in the jowls or nose area - and when you use your smartphone camera, the lens has a similar effect on the photo. Essentially, the wide angle lens distorts our facial features, and considering how close-up we take most of our selfies, this only adds to the problem. While Grover has noticed more patients coming into his London clinic for treatment as a result of selfie-inspired discontent, we don't think that going under the knife is necessarily the solution here.
