Which celebrities do you resemble?

Are you ever mistaken for a movie star? Me neither.
But here's a website - StarsInYou - that claims to match your face with those of celebrities, based on measurements between different facial features. Simply upload a photo from your computer, and the website does the rest.

Apparently I resemble Christie Brinkley and Lindsay Lohan. What you do think?

New research presented at APA 2007

Just returned from vacation, which included a stop at the annual American Psychological Convention in San Francisco.

I gave a couple of talks with practical tips for communicating with your online audiences. I'll post summaries of these "how-to" presentations in the next week or two .

The APA convention program schedule was the size of a phonebook - dozens of things going on every hour, every day. Here are some highlights:

• Perfectionists CAN be happy, as long as they don't feel humiliated if they fail to measure up to their own high standards.
  
  
• School shooters are different from one another in many ways, but most share a common personality characteristic - cynical shyness.
  
  
• Managing stress well can increase good cholesterol - more evidence to what we already know: It's not so much the stress, but how we interpret it and handle it that determines how we react.
  
  
• Fad treatments for autism are on the rise. Here's a list of what DOESN'T Work.
  
  
• Nearly 2 years after Hurricane Katrina, gulf coast kids are still suffering from trauma-related emotional problems.
  
  
• For women in the military, the more we can help them with work-family conflict issues, the less likely they will suffer from anxiety and depression after returning home.

See more highlights at the APA website.
