Congressional certification
This paper models the effect of firm‐level profitability (earnings before interest and taxes and return on sales) against certification by former members of the U.S. Congress. Although some scholars have studied certification, none have studied certification in the public policy market as is done in the current work. Likewise, although scholars have studied the effects of lobbying and political connections on firms' outcomes, none have studied lo…
Firm-level political capabilities and subsequent financial performance
While there is a robust literature on corporate political activity, scholars have not adequately framed these activities as being part of a strategy to garner political capabilities. In this paper, we incorporate political capabilities and argue that those firms that more intensely commit resources to political activities have associated subsequent performance benefits. In a sample of 87 Fortune 500 firms from 2005 to 2011, we find that both poli…
AT&T's establishment of a political capability
The literature on corporate political activity has become robust in the last decade as scholars model the antecedents to, as well as the results of, for‐profit firms political strategies. The literature lacks, however, a practical guide to the specific activities that firms undertake in order to compete in such a manner. This case study follows the political activities at AT&T from 2000 to 2012 in the United States in order to clarify these speci…
Recent Trends in Preparing Ethnic Minorities for Careers in Mathematics and Science
This study compares trends in participation and performance on mathematics and science Advanced Placement exams for student ethnic subgroups in California high schools over a 6-year period. Results indicate that although growth in participation and performance is evident for all subgroups, the rates of increase differ across groups. As minority participation improves more slowly than the participation of other ethnic subgroups, there will be a co…
Human Response to Traumatic Events
In documenting cognitive processes underlying persons' reactions to negative events, counterfactual thinking, hindsight bias, and attribution theory focus on distinct, although not unrelated, aspects of human information processing. Counterfactual thinking highlights the cognitive processing undertaken when persons imagine different courses of action that lead to alternative outcomes. Hindsight bias describes the inflated retrospective estimates …
Fear of Relaxation and Wais Picture Completion Scores
Relaxation-induced anxiety has been reviewed and discussed by Heide and Borovec (1984) but there have been no studies reported with more than a few patients. This is a report of our data on nine patients with fear of relaxation who participated in a stress-reduction program of a behavioral medicine unit in a general hospital. These patients avoided biofeedback training after the first session with complaints of discomfort and anxiety about relaxa…
