The human psyche is infinitely complex, which means new research comes out every day that helps illuminate why were are the way we are. And while some psychological studies provide us with fairly banal psychology facts (for example, one scientist's study confirmed that-get ready for it-people are happier on the weekend), others are truly enlightening. Herein, I've rounded up the psychology facts that explain human nature-and just might shed some light on a few of the patterns you notice in yourself and others. From why you think food tastes better when someone else makes it to why you always see human faces in inanimate objects, these are the mind-blowing psychology facts that explain everything.All Rights Reserved
