These Couples Survived a Lot. Then Came Retirement.
The New York Times online
2024-05-05
This spring, Barbara and Joe, a retired couple in their 60s, sat down with me at a bistro in suburban Connecticut to talk about their relationship. That they were sitting there together at all was something of a triumph. In the past few days, they had hurled at each other the kinds of accusations that couples make when they are on the brink of mutual destruction. They were bruised from the words that had been exchanged, and although they sat close to each other, their energy was quiet and heavy.

Thirty-four years running the same company: It’s not that long, cosmically speaking, and yet today’s world is in some ways unrecognizably different from 1990. The American president then was George Bush (the first one). The Soviet Union was still standing, while China was just emerging as a global superpower. The internet had barely started crawling into U.S. homes, and smartphones were decades away from upending how we all live.

Nature online
2023-11-03
The United States’ largest association of psychologists has released its first recommendations for authors, reviewers and editors on how to address race, ethnicity and culture more equitably when publishing research. The sweeping recommendations, published by the American Psychological Association (APA) on 2 November, call for authors and others involved in publishing research to adopt a wide range of practices, such as explicitly addressing the over- or undersampling of certain demographics...

Effectiveness of stereotype threat interventions: A meta-analytic review.
Journal of Applied PsychologySongqi Liu, et al.
2021-06-01
This meta-analytic review examined the effectiveness of stereotype threat interventions (STIs). Integrating the identity engagement model (Cohen, Purdie-Vaughns, & Garcia, 2012) with the process model of stereotype threat (Schmader, Johns, & Forbes, 2008), we categorized STIs into 3 types: belief-based, identity-based, and resilience-based STIs. Combining 251 effect sizes from 181 experiments, we found an overall effect size of d = 0.44, with the intervention group outperforming the control group.
Best Not to Know: Pay Secrecy, Employee Voluntary Turnover, and the Conditioning Effect of Distributive Justice
Academy of Management JournalValeria Alterman, et al.
2021-04-28
Building on uncertainty management theory, we develop and test a model explicating how and when secrecy in pay communication may affect employee turnover-related outcomes. Underlying this model is the notion that employees triangulate perceptions of pay secrecy with their own or others’ perceptions of distributive justice as a basis for assessing organizational trustworthiness, with the latter serving as an important driver of voluntary turnover intentions and behavior.
From Creative Environment to Administrative Innovation: Creation and Implementation in Top Management Teams
The Journal of Creative BehaviorLu Chen, et al.
2021-03-19
Drawing upon the stage model of innovation and the ability–motivation–opportunity (AMO) framework, we hypothesize the mediating role of top management team (TMT) creativity and the moderating roles of external social capital and environmental uncertainty in the relationship between TMT creative team environment and a firm’s administrative innovation. We collected multisource data from 136 TMTs and tested the hypotheses using bootstrap method with SPSS 23.0.
