An Exploration of Infertility, Culture, Gender, and Large Body Size Among Latinx Women
This qualitative study explored the experiences of Latinx, larger-bodied women navigating infertility through an intersectional lens and phenomenological framework.

Participants described forms of oppression in medical and cultural systems and weight-based discrimination. Findings revealed two pr…
Good Vibrations
Individuals often experience incidental device-delivered haptic feedback (e.g., vibrational alerts accompanying messages on mobile phones and wearables), yet almost no research has examined the psychological and behavioral implications of technology-mediated touch on consumers. Drawing from theories in social psychology and computer science, we explore how device-delivered haptic feedback may have the capability to augment consumer responses to c…

When given an unexpected gift, East Asians report less surprise and less pleasure than Westerners. East Asians’ dampened pleasure is explained by their motivation t…
