Happy to see this paper in print and hopefully it will be useful for consumer researchers as they think about the need in system-level change.

Thanksgiving is a great time to remember the benefits of gratitude.
#Research (see below) shows that practicing gratitude, e.g., making a list of things we're thankful for, having a weekly conversation on the topic - improves:
Sleep
Life satisfaction
Self-confidence
Optimism
Blood pressure

Interesting #research suggests that dog owners with different political ideologies treat their dogs differently!

-Liberals view their dogs as if they “were human equals” and buy medical-related products/services.

-Conservatives emphasize their control over their dogs and buy luxury accessories.

Have not posted here in a while but this seems a #research worth highlighting - ahead of Thanksgiving.
@jayvanbavel.bsky.social reported on this cool but sad research analyzing 10 million Americans and their smart phones' location during Thanksgiving dinners.
What did they find?

Interesting insight from the World Economic Forum. The biggest short term global risk is now misinformation (rather than climate change; this is expected to change in the long term).

There are some new, thought provoking, articles led by a Chemistry Prof. at USC (Anna Krylov). Worth reading #AcademicSky #science 🧪. The pendulum of social justice/impact in academia (which I view dearly and committed to, in my teaching & research) may have went too far.

End of year is a good time to apologize for our transgressions.

Who apologizes more: men or women?

A #psychology research shows women apologize more.
The reason? The bar for what is considered a transgression is higher for men…

In case you missed it, this is a powerful depiction of global warming published by the @nytimes.com yesterday.

In Boston, it is Christmas - there is no sign of ❄️❄️❄️ - and temperatures are very mild.

Have you heard about “statistics anxiety”? The fear of numbers, and statistical analysis?
#research suggests it has limited negative effect on academic performance and in fact can enhance performance by driving students to learn more!

How people react to #brands taking a stand on political controversial issues?

A new #research - observing over time the Spotify and Goya scandals - shows that people are mostly upset online and in a few weeks they forget about it…

My most impactful post (on Twitter) in 2023 was about burnout. 🧪
A study demonstrated how the following figure can capture organizational burnout as good as validated multi-item scales.

An excellent article on how restaurants can increase demand for vegetarian items.
🍔A ban on meat dishes?
📣A marketing campaign?
‼️ How about #behavioraleconomics? How changing the order in which the vegetarian option was presented compared to the meat option (1st vs 2nd) affected consumption?

Thank you for coordinating this! I am new to the platform but happy to contribute on #BehavioralSciences (pro-social #marketing, consumer behavior, responsible caproate behavior, #BehavioralEconomics). I've done that in Tweeter for the last 5 years!
Happy Holiday season and inspiring science all!
