The work-related consequences of employees’ media-based political information consumption
To cope with political stress, many people spend considerable time seeking political information. Indeed, whether on social media sites (e.g., Facebook) or through traditional outlets like television, people consume political information as a means of staying updated about political issues that have the potential to affect them and their communities. Considering the pervasive effects of politics, might the valence and frequency of political infor…
Too Anecdotal to Be True? Mechanical Turk Is Not All Bots and Bad Data
In response to Webb and Tangney (2022) we call into question the conclusion that data collected on Amazon’s Mechanical Turk (MTurk) was “at best—only 2.6% valid” (p. 1). We suggest that Webb and Tangney made certain choices during the study-design and data-collection process that adversely affected the quality of the data collected. As a result, the anecdotal experience of these authors provides weak evidence that MTurk provides low-quality data …

What Makes an Idea Risky? The Relations between Perceptions of Idea Novelty, Usefulness, and Risk
Individuals and organizations frequently tout creative ideas as a desirable goal, and yet, creative ideas are frequently rejected. Creativity researchers have often suggested that creative ideas are rejected because they are perceived as riskier due to their inherent novelty or originality. Although this assumption is prevalent, we are unaware of any empirical research directly examining the relations between perceptions of novelty and risk. We p…
Bias, Fairness, and Validity in Graduate-School Admissions
As many schools and departments are considering the removal of the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) from their graduate-school admission processes to enhance equity and diversity in higher education, controversies arise. From a psychometric perspective, we see a critical need for clarifying the meanings of measurement “bias” and “fairness” to create common ground for constructive discussions within the field of psychology, higher education, and …
Rejoinder to Commentaries on Woo et al. (2022)
In this rejoinder, we discuss several areas of agreement as well as some noteworthy divergence in perspectives that are worth exploring further. We also note a few areas where immediate clarifications may be necessary. Next, we discuss practical solutions and challenges for improving the validity and fairness of graduate admissions. We conclude with a call for intellectual humility and openness in further advancing the field’s discussions on this…
Changes in Positive and Negative Affect during Creative Process Engagement
The present research examines how creative process engagement (information gathering, idea generation, idea evaluation, and idea pitch) influences the affective states of positive affect (PA) and negative affect (NA). Drawing from motivation theory and research, we proposed that creative process behaviors that are more autonomous and less constrained will increase positive affect. Additionally, creative process behaviors that are more likely to b…
Tell Me What To Do Not How To Do It
The current research examines the utility of using creative outcome goals and process goals to enhance creativity. We propose that although creative outcome goals are likely to have a direct positive impact on creativity, the relationship between process goals and creativity is mediated by creative process engagement. Results from an experimental study demonstrated that creative outcome goals, particularly specific creative outcome goals, relate …
Innovations in Sampling
Technology has changed the way that organizational researchers obtain participants for their research studies. Although technology has facilitated the collection of large quantities of data through online platforms, it has also highlighted potential data quality issues for many of our samples. In this article, we review different sampling techniques, including convenience, purposive, probability-based, and snowball sampling. We highlight strength…
A meta-analysis of network positions and creative performance
Entering a Community of Writers
In addition to taking advanced courses, graduate students navigate a potentially challenging transition of learning to write for publication. We, the authors, explored solutions to this transition with a study designed to explore the research questions: How does a systematic effort to help doctoral students enter a community of writers via writing center collaboration influence doctoral students’: (1) proficiency with academic writing, (2) writin…
Systems Perspective of Amazon Mechanical Turk for Organizational Research
Amazon Mechanical Turk (MTurk) is becoming a prevalent source of quick and cost effective data for organizational research, but there are questions about the appropriateness of the platform for organizational research. To answer these questions, we conducted an integrative review based on 75 papers evaluating the MTurk platform and 250 MTurk samples used in organizational research. This integrative review provides four contributions: (1) we analy…
