British researchers tested infants as young as nine months old and found that girls preferred the dolls, cooking sets and pink teddy bears, while the boys chose toy cars, trucks or a blue bear. The study counters those critics who have long said that such stereotypes are a matter of nurture and not nature. Source Link

Much about American society has changed over the past 40 years, but a new study says we're still the same church-going nation that we were. Researchers looked at how many days people attended church per year and found the numbers to be close to what they were in 1972. What has changed is that women, Southerners and Catholics no longer attend much more often than others. Researchers say church attendance in general has been on the rise after a decline in the mid 1990's. Source Link
