Are Romantic Movies Bad For You? By Eben Harrell / London TIME
In the celluloid world of romantic comedies, shy but decent men get the girl, arguments set up sweet reconciliations, and couples separated by tragedy are always reunited through improbable coincidence. But now researchers are beginning to ask whether the make-believe world projected in "rom-coms" might actually be preventing true love in real life.
Last week, researchers at Heriot Watt University's Family and Personal Relationships Laboratory in Edinburgh, which studies best practices in relationship counseling, completed a study of 40 Hollywood romantic comedies released between 1995-2005. They found that problems typically reported by couples in relationship counseling at their counseling center reflect misconceptions about love and romance depicted in Hollywood films. (See TIME's Top 10 movies of the year.)
"Relationship counselors often face common misconceptions in their clients — that if your partner truly loves you they'd know what you need without you communicating it, that your soul mate is predestined. We did a rigorous content analysis of romantic comedies and found that the same issues were being portrayed in these films," the university's Dr Bjarne Holmes says.
The fact that Hollywood sells us an enhanced version of romance should come as no surprise, of course. But does that portrayal reflect a pre-existing expectation that film buffs hold or does it instill it? As part of their research, Dr Holmes' team had around 130 student volunteers watch the 2001 romantic comedy Serendipity, while another group of the same size watched a David Lynch drama. Viewers of the romantic comedy were found to be more likely to believe in fate and destiny. It was a small study confined to one region, but, Dr Holmes argues, "it does give us some indication of [the effects of romantic comedies]."
Mary-Lou Galician, Head of Media Analysis and Criticism at the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism & Mass Communication at Arizona State University, whose research in the 1990s found similar results to Holmes' study, says uncovering conscious and subconscious romantic motivation is a difficult process, and the role of movies is uncertain. She points to the vexing debate over the effects of violent movies, which some researchers argue encourage aggression, while "others argue just as persuasively that [simulated violence] provides a safe release for human aggression." (See pictures of couples in love.)
Still, Galician — who blames mass media portrayals of romance for the failure of her own early relationships — advises people to be cautious about watching too many romantic comedies, and remain aware that such movies might cause problems in their own relationships. "If there were suggestions something was dangerous for you, even if the results were in small numbers, it might not be a bad idea to be cautious," she says.

How Can You See Spirits? A Short Guide to Spiritual Clairvoyance
By Amanda Linette Meder, Psychic Medium amandalinettemeder
If you are reading this article right now, chances are, you already do have the ability to see spirits around you. Maybe you are aware of this, but aren’t sure, maybe you aren't, or maybe you are looking for clarification of the different ways spirits appears. That's fine! Continue reading and we'll explain how it works.
While most people sense (clairsentience) spirits before they ever see them, often the sensing is accompanied by other clues that you are being visited by those in the spirit world. These clues come in a variety of ways – they can use signs and symbols, noises, movement, and visuals. Spirits can visit you both while you are awake and while you are dreaming – and in this article, we're focusing specifically on 'waking visits' - those in which you are fully aware of your surroundings!
