Happy to see this paper in print and hopefully it will be useful for consumer researchers as they think about the need in system-level change.

Wonderful ! Good luck dear Kati!
Rather than reducing bias, anti-oppressive DEI materials with scenarios related to race, religion, and caste, may increase a hostile attribution bias, leading to heightened racial suspicion and punitive attitudes, research finds:

Thanksgiving is a great time to remember the benefits of gratitude.
#Research (see below) shows that practicing gratitude, e.g., making a list of things we're thankful for, having a weekly conversation on the topic - improves:
Sleep
Life satisfaction
Self-confidence
Optimism
Blood pressure

Banning #smartphones in over 400 schools led to:
-decreased psychological symptoms among girls by 29%
-decreased bullying by boys and girls by 43%
-increased GPA among girls by .08 SDs
Effects were larger for girls from low SES families openaccess.nhh.no/nhh-xmlui/bi...
Interesting #research suggests that dog owners with different political ideologies treat their dogs differently!
-Liberals view their dogs as if they “were human equals” and buy medical-related products/services.
-Conservatives emphasize their control over their dogs and buy luxury accessories.

They found that politically diverse Thanksgiving dinners were “30 to 50 minutes shorter” than ones with politically aligned guests.

Have not posted here in a while but this seems a #research worth highlighting - ahead of Thanksgiving.
@jayvanbavel.bsky.social reported on this cool but sad research analyzing 10 million Americans and their smart phones' location during Thanksgiving dinners.
What did they find?

This is really messed up
Interesting insight from the World Economic Forum. The biggest short term global risk is now misinformation (rather than climate change; this is expected to change in the long term).
Derek Penslar leans on a podium, looking up at a projected slide about the Balfour Declaration.
Tackling the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict in the Classroom
Professors who teach about the Middle East report increased interest in their spring courses—though not necessarily from the biggest activists on campus. #AcademicSky #EDUSky bit.ly/3RPXWL7
Exciting news: Spain generated more than half of its electricity from renewable sources such as wind and solar power in 2023 - making Spain one of the leaders in Europe in terms of the most renewable power capacity. 🧪🔌🔋☀️💨https://techxplore.com/news/2024-01-spain-generated-power-renewables.html

I envision some form of adjustment in the coming years.
Personally, I adopt the valuable recommendation by #CNN Van Jones for students:
"On campus I want you to be *physically safe* and *intellectually unsafe* "
The articles:

There are some new, thought provoking, articles led by a Chemistry Prof. at USC (Anna Krylov). Worth reading #AcademicSky #science 🧪. The pendulum of social justice/impact in academia (which I view dearly and committed to, in my teaching & research) may have went too far.

תודה רבה! לכבוד הוא לי!
Super timely topic! Thanks Ophelia.
What behavioral scientists/consumer behavior researchers will study in 2024?
Here is my take and I will be glad to hear others’ thoughts.
🧪collective psychology
🧪polarization
🧪AI and consumers/managers
🧪brand/CEO activism

🥗January is the month where we Google the word “diet” the most.
🍔December is the month we eat the most.
📈Our interest in diet and eating healthy declines ~10% over the year.
Nice findings from this #behavioral #research 🧪
(Did someone say: New Year's Resolution?😅).

End of year is a good time to apologize for our transgressions.
Who apologizes more: men or women?
A #psychology research shows women apologize more.
The reason? The bar for what is considered a transgression is higher for men…

Happy to be added Ethan although my research is behavioral so only if you believe it is of interest to the community.
In case you missed it, this is a powerful depiction of global warming published by the @nytimes.com yesterday.
In Boston, it is Christmas - there is no sign of ❄️❄️❄️ - and temperatures are very mild.

Have you heard about “statistics anxiety”? The fear of numbers, and statistical analysis?
#research suggests it has limited negative effect on academic performance and in fact can enhance performance by driving students to learn more!

How people react to #brands taking a stand on political controversial issues?
A new #research - observing over time the Spotify and Goya scandals - shows that people are mostly upset online and in a few weeks they forget about it…

My op-ed @BostonHerald:
what professors can do to get back to training excellent graduates and regain public trust?
💡 move from "identity politics"
💡 push for critical thinking & a paradoxical mindset
💡 Fight "cancel culture"

My most impactful post (on Twitter) in 2023 was about burnout. 🧪
A study demonstrated how the following figure can capture organizational burnout as good as validated multi-item scales.
