Abstract:
... Using the new macro data on risk aversion and patience by Falk et al. (2018), I show that risk aversion and patience are related to intelligence: high-IQ populations are more patient and more risk averse than low-IQ populations. The correlation between patience and intelligence corroborates previous results based on micro data. Intelligent people tend to be patient because they have long time hori ...

Abstract:
... Concerns about poaching and trafficking have led conservationists to seek urgent responses to tackle the impact on wildlife. One possible solution is the militarisation of conservation, which holds potentially far-reaching consequences. It is important to engage critically with the militarisation of conservation, including identifying and reflecting on the problems it produces for wildlife, for pe ...

Abstract:
... Humans are inherently curious creatures, continuously seeking out information about future outcomes. Such advance information is often valuable, potentially allowing people to select better courses of action. In non-human animals, this drive for information can be so strong that they forego food or water to find out a few seconds earlier whether an uncertain option will provide a reward. Here, we ...

Abstract:
... The scientific research conducted so far as well as rich practical expert experience point to the fact that handwriting is individual to each person. On the other hand, there are quite infrequent cases of developing two or more different styles of writing by the same person, during learning-to-write process. These various styles of handwriting are used interchangeably, either spontaneously or inte ...

Abstract:
... In the Netherlands more than 11 million people use drugs for the most part intended for chronic use. The scientific basis for the enormous amounts of people that use so many drugs in the Netherlands is quite small. Of many drugs the efficacy is hardly proven and only a minority of people improve by using them. Furthermore, the natural course of many complaints and diseases is positive and needs no ...

Abstract:
... We examined how, from the point of view of justice, the burdens of paying for conservation should be shared. I resisted simple answers to the question of who should pay for conservation that lean on a single moral principle. I identified 3 relevant principles that relate to who causes conservation challenges, who has greater capacity to carry burdens, and who stands to benefit from conservation. I ...

Abstract:
... Forensic science techniques are often used in criminal trials to infer the identity of the perpetrator of crime and jurors often find this evidence very persuasive. Unfortunately, two of the leading causes of wrongful convictions are forensic science testing errors and false or misleading forensic testimony (Saks and Koehler, 2005). Therefore, it is important to understand jurors’ pre-existing bel ...

Abstract:
... Based on means-end chain (MEC) and balance theories, this study aims to construct consumers’ cognitive structure toward services provided by classy restaurants. It also demonstrates how MEC and balance theories can be used to reveal the psychological state of consumers when different volumes of services (i.e., excessive, adequate, and insufficient) are provided. In addition, the findings offer res ...

Zhu, Xun; Smith, Rachel

Subject:
people
Abstract:
... The essay examined a commonly stated but rarely elaborated assumption in stigma theories: Stigma must be socialized to engender community-level marginalization and discrimination. Existing research has focused on intrapersonal processes and structural factors that promote stigma socialization, but much less is known about how interpersonal sharing messages that induce stigmatization (i.e., stigma ...

Abstract:
... Definitions are important! They are composed of words that express what people think. Despite numerous efforts to bring about a clear and unbiased definition of social entrepreneurship, there is still confusion as how social entrepreneurship should be defined. The objective of this paper is not to state a novel definition, this means not to "push out", but rather to "pull in" together to better un ...

Abstract:
... We investigate the effects of reminders for payments in a setting where customers pay on a voluntary basis. A neutral reminder significantly increases customers’ payment probability. However, our study indicates the importance of the exact wording of the reminder. Reminders including additional information do not increase the payment probability further and seem even less effective than the neutra ...

Abstract:
... Most quantitative tools for assessing competitive effects of mergers rely heavily on recapture ratios (also known as aggregate diversion ratios). Recapture ratios measure the proportion of customers switching away from a product that is captured by other products within the market rather than outside the market. We propose a simple approach for approximating recapture ratios which can be usefully ...

Abstract:
... The analysis of French tomato data from a 2004 Sensometrics workshop is revisited. The workshop posed two questions (1) are there consumer segments in hedonic data and (2) if there are segments, can they be characterized using consumer and tomato attributes. The challenge with the hedonic data is a large amount of missing data. “Probabilistic” solutions to the latter via multiple imputation are ex ...
