Trust Your Hormones to Choose What Fabric Works Best For You

When you wake up every morning, deciding to wear cotton over silk has all got to do with your hormones.

According to new study, a woman's hormones affect her taste in fabrics and textures.

Risky Choices in Face of Danger More Common in Those Who Grew Up Poor
A new study has found that people with a poor socio-economic background are more likely to make risky choices when exposed to danger.

The study found that 'estrogen-driven' women prefer animal fabrics such as wool, fur, leather and silk, while 'testosterone-driven' females tend to choose vegetal fabrics such as cotton and linen. The research also found that men tend to be more sensitive than women to synthetic fabrics.

Diana Derval, a market researcher, conducted the study. Between April 2007 and February 2011, her firm, DervalResearch, studied the preferences of 3500 men and women from 25 countries.

Gender, ethnicity, and immune system all affect our perceptions of light touch, pressure, pain, cold, and vibrations.

Moral Choices Prompted by Brain Sensations
Moral choices are perhaps prompted by physical sensation, according to a US researcher.

"Touch is a vibration. We identified different tactile profiles based on people's perception of touch: non-vibrators, medium-vibrators, and super-vibrators," the Age quoted Derval as saying.

"The super-vibrators are six times more sensitive to touch than others and clearly prefer to wear cotton to silk or wool," added Derval.

Your Political Leanings Translate into Your Pizza`Crust Preferences Too
A new study has revealed that people who have different political ideologies also have differing tastes when it comes to food choices.

"Testosterone-driven" women are more likely to be super-vibrators or medium-vibrators. "Estrogen-driven" women, meanwhile, are more likely to be non-vibrators or medium-vibrators.

The study has been presented at the Society for Behavioural Endocrinology's recent annual meeting. (ANI)
