A failure to regret "regrettable sexual situations": Bonus Weird Science points for this paper's title, which includes the phrase "rose-colored beer goggles." The phrase came out of a survey on the drinking habits of college students and their negative consequences, "such as hangovers, fights, and regrettable sexual situations." Unless something really severe had happened, most people who had experienced negative consequences wrote them off as a one-time experience that was unlikely to recur. But students who had positive social experiences while drinking heavily seemed to think good things would happen again next time they hit the bottle.
Women aren't faking it (or at least not as often as men do): Those of us who follow international football have also had the opportunity to become acting critics, as elaborate dives and apparent agony follow from the slightest of touches. As it turns out, researchers are right there with us, quantifying the rate at which players hit the ground: 11.26 incidents a game. But, with the Women's World Cup in progress, a group of researchers from North Carolina decided to have a look at their games, producing a paper entitled "Estimation of Injury Simulation in International Women's Football." For starters, women hit the ground at only about half the rate of men, with only 5.74 apparent injuries a game. Definite injuries, which were defined as bleeding or sufficient to knock a player out of a game, only accounted for 0.78 of those, however, suggesting there is some faking going on. On the plus side, these questionable injuries weren't associated with a win on the field.
