In a new study, scientists have found&nbsp;that those who cry during movies, fear rejection or interpret some normal situation as threatening are at an increased risk of early death.

The study has found that these are behaviour patterns in those who suffer from neuroticism and that such personality traits increase the risk of premature death by 10 per cent.&nbsp;

Neuroticism&nbsp;is related to negative emotions like sadness, fear and irritability but also has other components like anxiety and loneliness which impact a person's mind and body.

Loneliness was identified as the strongest predictor of premature death by scientists because this increases the chances of respiratory and digestive system diseases and intentional self-harm, the researchers suggested.&nbsp;

Mood swings and feeling fed up are other aspects of neuroticism which are related to higher mortality risk.&nbsp;

Unlikely, warn scientists who see longevity falling in areas known for centenarians</a>

The team discovered that the link was strongest in men and has been found prevalent in people younger than age 54 as well as those who did not have a college degree.

<h2>How was the research carried out?</h2>

A team of researchers from Florida State University looked into data from the United Kingdom Biobank. The Biobank has a massive database of biological samples, genetics, health information and lifestyles from half a million people.&nbsp;

The Biobank had information on around 500,000 individuals whose neuroticism evaluation was completed between&nbsp;2006 and 2010.

Scientists tracked the life of these individuals for 17 years. The 'vital status' data and neuroticism scores of the participants were used by the research team to investigate whether the personality trait and certain components had a strong relation to premature death.

In the 17 years, out of around 500,000 participants, 43,400 had died which is about 8.8 per cent of the total sample size.&nbsp;

As per the data, the average age at death was 70 years and the primary cause of death was cancer, which was followed by&nbsp;nervous system,&nbsp;respiratory system and digestive system diseases.

Those who faced respiratory or digestive issues were reportedly feeling 'fed up' in the evaluation.

In the group, nearly 291 people had died of intentional self-harm. These people said that they felt guilt and mood swings and were constantly stressed.

However, those who scored higher neuroticism reportedly felt loneliness.&nbsp;

"It was surprising that loneliness had a much stronger impact than other components of neuroticism," said Antonio Terracciano, senior author and Florida State University professor of geriatrics, while speaking to PsyPost.&nbsp;

"The findings indicate that those who reported being lonely were at much higher risk of death than those who felt anxious or guilty," he further said.&nbsp;

People who cry at movies have higher chances of dying young: Study

Like humans, plants also scream and make varying sounds when they are in pain, a new study has claimed.

Called “airborne sounds”, the research, which was published on Thursday in the journal ‘Cell’, notes that plants, when deprived of water or stressed, emit ultrasonic sound waves so that other creatures can hear.

The researchers further noted that the frequency of these noises is too high for humans to detect, but they can be heard by insects, other mammals, and possibly other plants. They further said that the sound of these noises varies according to the mood of the plants.

The research was carried out by a team at Tel Aviv University in Israel.

"We found that plants usually emit sounds when they are under stress and that each plant and each type of stress is associated with a specific identifiable sound," researchers said in a news release from the university.

"While imperceptible to the human ear, the sounds emitted by plants can probably be heard by various animals, such as bats, mice, and insects."

In their experiment, the team, led by Lilach Hadany at Tel-Aviv University, placed tobacco and tomato plants in small boxes, and affixed an ultrasonic microphone&nbsp;at 10 centimetres gap.

When stressed, such as inflicting pain or not providing water, the plants made noises, which were picked&nbsp;up only by the microphone.

When the sounds were pitched down and sped up, it sounded “a bit like popcorn — very short clicks,” Hadany said. “It is not singing.”

The sounds detected were in the frequency range between 20 and 250 kilohertz. While human adults can only hear frequencies of up to 16 kilohertz, researchers said.

These recordings were analysed by special AI algorithms that could differentiate between plants and the types of sounds they were emitting.

And the more stressed plants were, the more they screamed.

"Unstressed plants emitted less than one sound per hour, on average. While the stressed plants – both dehydrated and injured – emitted dozens of sounds every hour," researcher Lilach Hadany said, according to Science Daily.

Plants make cries for help when stressed or deprived of water, says study

There are birds with a variety of capabilities. Some sing well, some are excellent hunters. But for humans, birds who possess interesting qualities appeal the most. Take parrots for example. Parrots are famed for their skills of imitation. A similar bird is making waves online.

It's a lyrebird in an Australian zoo. What's so special about this one? Well the bird is creating noise (quite literally) for perfectly mimicking a crying baby.

The Taronga Zoo, where this lyrebird Echo is housed has even filmed it and put the video on Twitter

"Bet you weren't expecting this wake-up call! You're not hearing things, our resident lyrebird Echo has the AMAZING ability to replicate a variety of calls - including a baby's cry!" says the zoo in its tweet.

Song of lyrebirds in the wild has been described as "the most elaborate, the most complex, and the most beautiful" by Sir David Attenborough.&nbsp;

Lyrebirds are masters in mimicking their surroundings.

Given this, it worth pondering why a lyrebird in a zoo would choose to mimic a crying baby, eh?
