DOI: 10.1016/j.soscij.2019.06.007
Abstract: Abstract We used an experiment to investigate whether people’s decisions over employment opportunities are affected by the ethnicity and sex of their potential future coworkers. University students (N = 1,406) were asked to state the lowest hourly… read more here.

DOI: 10.1017/xps.2023.10
Abstract: Cognitive appraisal theory predicts that emotions affect participation decisions around risky collective action. However, little existing research has attempted to parse out the mechanisms by which this process occurs. We build a global game of… read more here.

Abstract: Einstein’s general theory of relativity is one of the most important accomplishments in the history of science. We reassess the importance of one of the expeditions that made its experimental verification possible — a story… read more here.

DOI: 10.1088/1367-2630/aaed4e
Abstract: A controlled decoherence environment is studied experimentally by free electron interaction with semiconducting and metallic plates. The results are compared with physical models based on decoherence theory to investigate the quantum-classical transition. The experiment is… read more here.

DOI: 10.1126/sciadv.aaw9832
Abstract: In the quantum domain, there may not be an objective story to tell. The scientific method relies on facts, established through repeated measurements and agreed upon universally, independently of who observed them. In quantum mechanics… read more here.

Bequest Provision Preferences in Commercial Annuities: An Experimental Test of the Role of Mortality Salience
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Journal of Financial Counseling and Planning"
DOI: 10.1891/1052-3073.30.1.121
Abstract: Recent research demonstrates that personal mortality salience from annuity contemplation generates an avoidance response, reducing interest in purchasing annuities. However, theoretical models of mortality salience also predict an increased desire for investment in the future… read more here.
