The Privileges We Do and Do Not See
People attend more to disadvantages in their lives than to advantages, a phenomenon known as the Headwinds/Tailwinds Asymmetry . In seven studies ( N = 1,526), we present an important caveat to this pattern: When people do notice and acknowledge their advantages, they mostly focus on the benefits they receive from other people (i.e., interpersonal benefits), as opposed to benefits they receive because of their demographics, personal traits, and l…
Addressing Perceived Apathy Through Engaged Learning in Crisis Communication
Recent outbreaks of A/H5N1 (Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza virus/HPAIv) —commonly referred to as bird flu virus—have mutated and spread beyond poultry to also infect dairy cattle and humans. Despite warnings by crisis communication practitioners affiliated with the dairy industry, the response is widely criticized as underwhelming and apathetic. This study proposes engaged learning as an instructional risk and crisis co strategy for overcoming…
God Values the Lives of My Out-Group More Than I Do
Does God want people to favor coreligionists or to treat in-group and out-group members equally? To test people’s beliefs about God’s moral preferences, we conducted three preregistered studies. Study 1 was a field study with Christian and Muslim Fijians ( N = 188). Study 2 was an online study with Jewish Israelis ( N = 384). Study 3 was a field study with Christian and Hindu Fijians ( N = 539). Across studies, participants indicated whether an i…
Network Meta-Metrics
We developed an agent-based susceptible / infective model which simulates disease incursions in the hog production chain networks of three U.S. states. Agent parameters, contact network data, and epidemiological spread patterns are output a er each model run. Key network metrics are then calculated, some of which pertain to overall network structure, and others to each node's positionality within the network. We run statistical tests to evaluate …
Coffee Landscapes
Coffee with the right traits can command impressive prices in the specialty coffee market. While much of the attention to terroir-the taste of place-in coffee has focused on region, the details of place matter too. For farmers, paying attention to the details of coffee landscapes is important to create the distinctive flavors prized in these markets. This article explores how farmers in the Tarrazú coffee region of Costa Rica use systems of trace…
Physical Discipline and Behavior Problems in African American, European American, and Hispanic Children
Using data collected over a 6‐year period on a sample of 1,039 European American children, 550 African American children, and 401 Hispanic children from the children of the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, this study assessed whether maternal emotional support of the child moderates the relation between spanking and behavior problems. Children were 4–5 years of age in the first of 4 waves of data used (1988, 1990, 1992, 1994). At each wave,…
Achievement and Behavior Among Children of Welfare Recipients, Welfare Leavers, and Low‐Income Single Mothers
This article examines the behavior and achievement of children infemale‐headed families that were on welfare, that left welfare, and that were not on welfare in the3 years preceding the study. Data come from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics Child Development Supplement, a nationally representative sample of children under age 13 collected in 1997. The results suggest that there are both positive and negative outcomes of welfare transitions. Bas…
