Importing knowledge from psychology
Communication between different fields in universities is often hindered by the “multi-tower” problem: each focuses on its own questions and issues and tends to ignore work in other, even closely related ones. This occurs in part, because each field has its own terminology theories, journals, and conferences and because university policies claiming ownership of researchers’ findings restrict them from sharing this knowledge with others. Entrepren…
Culture Work
Culture Work: Folklore for the Public Good is devoted to reflexive accounts of public folklore-related practice by folklorists and scholars from allied disciplines. Most of the 34 contributors have associations with the University of Wisconsin and/or research the Upper Midwest. The essays discuss actual and prospective public-sector activities, research about folklore in the public sphere, and projects centered in the academy but aspiring for wid…
How entrepreneurs turn the possible into the real—and sometimes change the world
The words possibility and opportunity are often viewed as synonyms. In the field of entrepreneurship, though, they have different meanings. Possibilities refer to what might be in the future but does not now exist. Opportunities refer to possibilities that can be developed into something real—new products, services, processes. Entrepreneurs evaluate opportunities in terms of their feasibility, potential for development, and whether people will wa…
Why Entrepreneurs Often Experience Low , Not High, Levels of Stress
While creating and running new ventures, entrepreneurs are exposed to conditions known to generate high levels of stress (e.g., rapid change, unpredictable environments, work overload, personal responsibility for others). Thus, it has been assumed that they often experience intense stress. A markedly different possibility, however, is suggested by Attraction-Selection-Attrition (ASA) theory. This perspective suggests that persons who are attracte…
Social Psychology
Affect and Entrepreneurship
Positive affect (positive moods and feelings have been found to generate many beneficial effects‐ e.g., enhanced task performance, increased career and personal success. Such benefits appear to extend to entrepreneurs , but only if the positive affect is not extremely high. When it is, detrimental effects such as reduced attention to negative information, may occur., and can pose serious risks to entrepreneurs.
Social Capital
Social capital refers to the benefits entrepreneurs derive from their social networks. It's nature and distinguishing characteristics vis‐a‐vis other forms of capital are explored. Priority research questions are proposed.

Virtual Customer Environments
An increasing number of firms are hosting virtual customer environments (VCEs) to involve their customers in product development and product support activities. While the benefits to companies from hosting such VCEs are clear, another closely related issue has received far less attention: Why do customers participate voluntarily in value cocreation (here, product support) activities in such virtual customer environments? This study seeks to answe…
The Role of Affect in the Entrepreneurial Process
Research findings indicate that the feelings and moods individuals experience (i.e., their affect) influence many aspects of cognition and behavior. Extending these findings to entrepreneurship, I suggest that affect influences several aspects of entrepreneurs' cognition and, hence, important elements of the entrepreneurial process. I propose a theoretical framework for understanding the role of affect in key aspects of entrepreneurship (e.g., op…

Are perseverance and self-efficacy costless? Assessing entrepreneurs' regretful thinking
New business formation is a formidable and daunting task, which may require personal perseverance and self-efficacy. If this is indeed the case, will entrepreneurs and non-entrepreneurs differ on such attributes? Also, if high levels of perseverance and self-efficacy help entrepreneurs to overcome setbacks, snags, and obstacles, do these positive attributes co-occur with significant personal costs, such as the tendency to experience regretful thi…

XIII World Meeting, International Society for Research on Aggression
Three research programs on the genetics of aggression in mice and one on that for humans concerned with effects of the 5-HT system, especially receptor subtypes, on aggression are presented in this symposium. For mice, inbred strains (Simon), transgenic strains (Hilakivi-Clarke), and knock-out strains (Brunner) have been used in studies of the offense type of aggression. Simon has shown that there is between strain polymorphism for steroid activa…
Social and personal determinants of workplace aggression
Four hundred fifty-two employed persons rated the frequency with which they had been the victims of a wide range of aggressive actions at work. In addition, they also rated the frequency with which they themselves had aggressed against others in their workplaces. Three hypotheses were investigated: (1) covert forms of aggression, in which aggressors seek to conceal their identity from target persons, are significantly more frequent in workplaces …

Public Folklore
Workplace violence and workplace aggression
Recent news reports have focused attention on dramatic instances of workplace violence—extreme acts of aggression in work settings. It is suggested here that such actions, while both tragic and frightening, are only a small part of a much larger problem of workplace aggression—efforts by individuals to harm others with whom they work or the organizations in which they are employed. The present study investigated two major hypotheses with respect …

Aggression and heat
Two experiments were conducted to examine the influence of ambient temperature upon physical aggression. In the first, male subjects received either a positive or negative evaluation from a confederate and were then provided with an opportunity to agress against this person by means of electric shock. On the basis of previous research, it was predicted that high ambient temperatures (92-95 degrees F) would facilitate aggression by those receiving…
Aggression and heat
Sixty-four undergraduate males participated in an experiment designed to examine the effects of level of prior anger arousal, exposure to an aggressive model, and ambient temperature on physical aggression. On the basis of Bandura's social learning theory of aggression, it was predicted that uncomfortably hot environmental conditions would be most effective in facilitating later aggression when subjects had both witnessed the actions of the model…
Some immediate effects of televised violence on children's behavior
The hypothesis that exposure to televised violence would increase the willingness of children to hurt another child was investigated. Boys and girls of two age groups (5-6 and 8-9 years) first viewed excerpts from actual television programs depicting either aggresive or nonaggressive scenes, and were then provided with an opportunity to aggress against a peer. All subjects were subsequently placed in a free play situation and the frequency of the…
Magnitude of victim's pain cues and level of prior anger arousal as determinants of adult aggressive behavior
Aggression as a function of victim's pain cues, level of prior anger arousal, and exposure to an aggressive model
Exposure to an aggressive model and apparent probability of retaliation from the victim as determinants of adult aggressive behavior
Model's behavior and attraction toward the model as determinants of adult aggressive behavior
Aggression as a function of magnitude of victim's pain cues, level of prior anger arousal, and aggressor-victim similarity
Ambient temperature and the occurrence of collective violence
Archival data pertaining to 102 instances of serious collective violence were examined in order to study the relationship between ambient temperature and the occurrence of such events. Results indicated that the frequency of collective violence and ambient temperature were curvilinearly related. Specifically, ambient temperature was directly associated with the frequency of collective violence through the mid-80s (degrees Fahrenheit). Beyond this…

Sexual arousal and aggression by males
Eighty-five undergraduate males participated in an experiment designed to investigate the impact of various types of erotic stimuli upon aggression. On the basis of previous research, it was hypothesized that exposure to mild erotic stimuli would tend to inhibit subsequent aggression, while exposure to more arousing stimuli of this type would facilitate such behavior. In order to examine this hypothesis, male subjects were first angered or treate…

Forty-eight undergraduate males participated in an experiment designed to investigate the hypothesis that prior exposure to sexual humor would reduce the level of aggression directed by angry individuals against the person who had previously provoked them. In order to examine this suggestion, subjects were first angered or not angered by a male confederate; next, exposed to either neutral, nonhumorous pictures or to one of two types of sexual hum…

Negative ions and behavior
Individuals scoring high (Type As), intermediate, or low (Type Bs) on the Jenkins Activity Survey were given an opportunity to aggress against a stranger who, previously, had either provoked or not provoked them. The opportunity to aggress (as well as all other aspects of the study) took place in the presence of (a) a high concentration, (b) a moderate concentration, or (c) a low (ambient) concentration of negative air ions. Results indicated tha…

The 'Costs of Deception' Revisited
RESEARCHER: As you already know, the study in which you are about to take part is concerned with social interaction. Your task will be a simple one. Ten strangers are seated in the next room. I want you to go in there and remove your clothing, one article at a time, until you are completely nude. We're interested in studying your reactions to this situation. SUBJECT (Visibly shaken): Gee, I never expected anything like that. I thought that the st…
