What happens at home stays at home: The Vegas rule for work depends on working memory
Family problems, although separate from the work sphere, can impact one's experience of work even when away from home. We propose that challenges arising from the home and family domain affect individuals' experience of work because they act as distractions. If so, working memory, an ability relevant to managing distractions, should attenuate the effects that one's family problems have on experienced job demands. Using a nationally representative…
A sea of blood and hate: Mass mobilization of emotion in China's Anti-narcotics Campaign, 1949-1952
This article analyses how the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) created and spread new forms of subjectivity and social belonging in the formative years of the People's Republic of China (PRC) (1949-present). Specifically, it examines how the CCP blended medical and emotional discourses to foster communal hatred of narcotics users and promote social cohesion. Building on scholarship that conceptualizes hatred as a way of producing and animating subje…
Rising Stars and Underdogs: The Role Race and Parental Education Play in Predicting Mentorship
Research suggests that youth with more financial and social resources are more likely to have access to mentorship. Conversely, the rising star hypothesis posits that youth who show promise through their individual successes are more likely to be mentored. Utilizing a nationally representative sample ( N = 4,882), we tested whether demographic characteristics (e.g., race, SES) or personal resources (e.g., academic/social success) are better predi…
Better to brag: Underestimating the risks of avoiding positive self‐disclosures in close relationships
OBJECTIVE: Capitalization, or disclosing positive news in close relationships, is interpersonally and intrapersonally beneficial and expected by relational partners. Why do some individuals avoid capitalizing? How do close relational partners react when they later discover that positive news was not directly disclosed to them? METHOD: We conducted nine correlational and experimental studies using vignettes and recalled events (N = 2,177). RESULTS…
When God is your only friend: Religious beliefs compensate for purpose in life in the socially disconnected
OBJECTIVE: Social relationships supply purpose to life. How can socially disconnected people, who show lower levels of purpose, compensate for purpose in life? We propose that religious beliefs can compensate for the purpose in life that social relationships would otherwise provide, through providing (a) greater purpose to turn to and (b) divine figures that can substitute for social relationships. METHOD: In three studies, we analyze three natio…
Naturally Occurring Mentorship in a National Sample of First‐Generation College Goers: A Promising Portal for Academic and Developmental Success
Attending college is increasingly important to compete in this global world; however, young people whose parents did not attend college are significantly less likely to enroll in and finish college. Formal programs to support first‐generation college goers are common, but not scalable to provide support to all young people who need it. Instead, mentoring that naturally occurs on these students’ journeys into and out of college may be a more pract…
