Summer jobs for high school and college students can boost their academic performance, especially when they work jobs across multiple summers.

If countries and farmers make adjustments in what crops they grow and where, then the effects of climate change on the global economy may not be as severe as feared, say economists.

Democrats and Republicans are increasingly split along political party lines, and new research suggests those partisan sentiments are stronger than racial biases.

The sense that you’re not the only one tackling a challenge—even if you’re physically alone—can increase motivation, say researchers.

New research uses computer modeling to understand how people communicate with nonliteral language, such as metaphors, hyperboles, and exaggerated statements.
