An analysis of data from a 17-year longitudinal study conducted in Belgium found a subtle link between extraversion in childhood and adolescence and entrepreneurial intentions in young adulthood. In other words, when extraverted children and adolescents grow up, they are slightly more likely to want to start a business compared to their less extraverted peers. The research was published in Applied Psychology. Entrepreneurship is the process of designing, launching, and running a new business by someone who identifies a market need and develops a product or service to meet that need. Entreprene...

A new study published in Evolution and Human Behavior provides evidence of a surprising disconnection between leader stereotypes and leader preferences. While most people still imagine leaders as men, especially when thinking of dominant leaders, they actually tend to slightly prefer female leaders, particularly those who are prestigious rather than dominant. Despite significant progress toward gender equality in the past century, women remain underrepresented in leadership positions. In 2021, women constituted only 7.4% of Fortune 500 CEOs, 26.9% of U.S. congressional representatives, and 30....

The research was published in the Journal of Leadership & Organizational Studies. Psychopathy, characterized by impaired empathy, lack of remorse, and manipulative behavior, is a significant concern in leadership roles. Despite the known negative impacts of such leaders, they often clim...

Recent research published in the Journal of Organizational Behavior has shed light on an unsettling effect of sexualization in workplace settings. The study highlights a “sexualization spillover” effect where not only are sexualized women perceived as less warm and competent, but these negative perceptions also impact other female job candidates who are not sexualized. Previous research has demonstrated that sexualization — where a person’s value is judged based on their sexual appeal — can particularly disadvantage women by affecting how they are perceived in terms of leadership qualities and...

A series of online studies discovered that full-time managers often exploit loyal workers rather than protect and reward them. This exploitation includes assigning additional unpaid work or uncomfortable tasks outside work hours, under the assumption that loyal employees are willing to make personal sacrifices for their company. This research was published in the Journal of Experimental Social Psychology. Loyalty is a virtue that involves a strong sense of commitment, allegiance, or fidelity to a person, group, or cause. It is important because it fosters trust and stability in relationships, ...

Some stock market enthusiasts claim to be able to predict financial market trends with fantastic accuracy.

But is it really possible to accurately predict the behaviour of financial markets? As an expert in the psychology of decision-making who specializes in complexity research, I have had the opportunity to deepen my understanding of human cognition and its capacity to control real-world complex environments.

In a new study led by Hector Sandoval at the University of Florida’s Bureau of Economic and Business Research, it was discovered that national elections, particularly those marking a transition of political power, significantly influence consumer sentiment and spending intentions more than previously understood. This research provides novel insights into the relationship between political events and economic behavior among consumers in Florida. Economic researchers have long grappled with understanding the dynamic between consumer sentiment—a reflection of public confidence in the economy—and ...

The COVID pandemic led to big increases in psychological distress for many people, including symptoms of stress, anxiety and depression. The negative impact on mental health has been substantial and is likely to be long-lasting, with many people experiencing psychological distress even now. One of the ways in which this kind of stress might affect you is at work, particularly the 40% of the UK workforce that still works from home to some extent. Our research seeks to understand how psychological distress created by the pandemic has affected how productive people are at work. To investigate thi...

A recent study published in the Journal of Business Ethics sheds new light on the effectiveness of anti-piracy messages, revealing that gender differences play a significant role in how individuals respond to such campaigns. Digital piracy, the unauthorized access to copyrighted content such as TV shows and films, has long been a thorn in the side of the creative industries. Despite widespread anti-piracy efforts, including educational camp...

In an era where the lines between corporate identity and social activism blur, brands increasingly find themselves navigating the treacherous waters of public opinion on social media. At the heart of this phenomenon is the question: What happens to brands that align themselves with movements like Black Lives Matter (BLM)? A recent study published in the INFORMS journal Marketing Science offers an answer, revealing that companies endorsing BLM have faced a backlash from consumers. This backlash manifests as a decline in social media engagement, measured by followers and likes, alongside an upti...
