Getting Information to Consumers: How to Inform Their Choices Effectively
Information disclosure policies influence nearly every consumer domain. Disclosure research across various sectors, particularly finance and nutrition, demonstrates how policymakers can enhance consumer decision-making and promote a fair marketplace. In particular, five key considerations make policies more effective: understanding existing consumer preferences, capturing and maintaining consumer attention, providing actionable knowledge, anticip…

Dual-promotion: Bragging better by promoting peers
1,448), we show that individuals who engage in dual-promotion create more favorable impressions of warmth and competence than those who only engage in self-promotion. The beneficial effects of dual-promotion are robust to both competitive and noncompetitive contexts and extend to behavioral intentions. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved)

Giving Suggestions: Using Quantity Requests to Increase Donations
Across seven studies (N = 9,028), we provide evidence that quantity requests, wherein people consider multiple choice options of how much to donate (e.g., $5, $10, or $15), increase contributions compared to open-ended requests. Specifically, quantity requests encourage greater donations (study 1), even when respondents can passively choose not to donate (study 2) and even when the donation is directed toward a less popular cause (study 3). This …
The predictive power of exponential numeracy
Many fundamental relationships, from the spread of disease to climate change, as well as common scales, such as the Richter, pH, and Decibel scales, are characterized by exponential relationships. Across six pre-registered studies (N = 3522) and three supplemental studies (N = 1079), we introduce and test a measure of exponential numeracy. We demonstrate that individuals with greater exponential numeracy are better able to recognize, understand, …
Mind-sets matter: A meta-analytic review of implicit theories and self-regulation
This review builds on self-control theory (Carver & Scheier, 1998) to develop a theoretical framework for investigating associations of implicit theories with self-regulation. This framework conceptualizes self-regulation in terms of 3 crucial processes: goal setting, goal operating, and goal monitoring. In this meta-analysis, we included articles that reported a quantifiable assessment of implicit theories and at least 1 self-regulatory process …
The moderating role of social ties on entrepreneurs' depressed affect and withdrawal intentions in response to economic stress
We explored whether contact with business‐related social ties would buffer entrepreneurs against the potentially deleterious effects of economic stress. Our proposed stress‐buffering model builds on the premise that social ties with similar others can serve as both a source of valuable information and a source of empathic support. Findings from a sample of 262 entrepreneurs revealed that the relation between economic stress and intentions to with…
