We've long suspected our cats could teleport. So nice to see proof!
One of the two moves more like a Weeping Angel, though. DON'T EVEN BLINK.

It's not my area, either, and am open to being completely wrong. Those were my best guesses after being as befuddled as Miss Cellania seemed to be. I was tempted to just end with the first paragraph about "while/whereas". ;)

D'oh, I meant to reply here. See my below explanation, if interested.

It's the "while" (or "whereas" in the researcher's abstract). That is to say, not helicopter-parenting is still tacitly encouraging independence.
I think what they are trying to say is:
- Both sexes fare better when pushed toward independence specifically through autonomy support.
- College women do better when they handle their own helicopter affairs (grades, wages), although due to social norms aren't adversely-affected if not actively pushed toward independence. My guess is that this is just an alternate route to learning independence, but I'm no fancy-schmancy researcher. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
- College men aren't negatively-affected if someone else handles those helicopter items, but suffer when not pushed toward independence. Traditional path is gone and social/emotional reasons may have blocked desire to find independence. Pretty much Pink Floyd's Mother. If there are indeed any autonomy-supported men who let parents negotiate their wages, I very much doubt they spoke of it with their peers.
Also keep in mind something like 98 of the 118 tested were young women.

None of the quoted paragraphs make sense to me. As I read it, both parts of this line tell me the exact same thing; that kids suffer when not pushed toward independence:
"The researchers found that young women are negatively affected by helicopter parenting, while young men suffer when parents don’t encourage independence."
I may look further into it, but that you already did and found little doesn't inspire me to do so. On the surface it sounds like a bunch of gobbledygook riding on recent news -- not too unlike that recent Kendall Jenner Pepsi ad.

Someone on Facebook ID'd it as a Hemeroplanes triptolemus caterpillar.

The first Disney princess, Snow White, was literally a princess who wore "royal blue" to indicate she was royalty. Were I to hazard a guess, other princesses in a Disney movie later may have been modeled off of Dorothy's light blue-n-white number in Wizard of Oz.

Haha, same here.
I've lived through Pluto being the ninth planet, then the eight planet, then the ninth again, and finally not one at all.
The day the Moon becomes a planet may be my last day on the Internet.

Sorry--one of those days. I put it back up. Thanks.

If there's indeed a death in the trust of expertise, it's sensationalist things like this that leads the way. "Hey, let's throw out the definitions that moons circle planets and planets circle stars and make up our own to fit our particular agenda."
It's always interesting to see information on our celestial bodies, but this smells like argumentum absurdum. Or, just an old-fashioned play for press.

Haha, thanks for the military-time clock info.
It seems like a surefire fix would be to make sure all classrooms have analog clocks. I mean, what kid doesn't watch the clock for lunch, recess, school's-out, etc? ;-)

The school is around 98% Latino. I'm not saying it could be because of race, but there could be some cultural stuff going on. Carnes even suggests in the article that some countries use military time.
Anyway, the original article doesn't say if the 150 students were only from that school or if it was throughout the city.

Yeah, I meant the eyes on the boxes themselves rather than just being colorful boxes. It's another thing I first learned from Neatorama. :)

I don't know how reliable that site is, but it's all I could find in a short amount of time.
