Social exclusion causes self-defeating behavior.

Abstract: Four experiments tested the idea that social exclusion leads to (unintentionally) self-defeating behavior. Exclusion was manipulated by telling some people that they were likely to end up alone later in life. This randomly assigned feedback caused people to take irrational, self-defeating risks (Experiments 1 and 2), choose unhealthy, rather than healthy, behaviors (Experiment 3), and procrastinate longer with pleasurable activities rather than practicing for an upcoming test (Experiment 4). A control group, who heard that their future would be marred by frequent accidents, did not show these self-defeating patterns. Thus, the effect goes beyond just hearing bad news. Emotional distress did not significantly mediate these effects across 3 different mood measures.

The Openness of Knowledge Sharing within Organizations: A Comparative Study of the United States and the People's Republic of China

Abstract: This study examines empirically the interaction effects of national culture and contextual factors (nature of the knowledge and the relationship between the knowledge sharer and recipient) on employees' tendency to share knowledge with co‐workers. Quantitative and open‐ended responses to two scenarios were collected from 142 managers (104 from the U.S. and 38 from the People's Republic of China). These two nations were selected due to their divergence on salient aspects of national culture, as well as their global political and economic importance. The focus on interaction effects was aimed at providing a more powerful test of culture's effects than simple comparisons of means typical of prior related research. Consistent with culture‐based expectation, the quantitative results indicated that Chinese vs. U.S. nationals' openness of knowledge sharing was related to their different degrees of collectivism—the relative emphasis on self vs. collective interests—as well as whether knowledge sharing involved a ...

Is parenting style related to children's healthy eating and physical activity in Latino families?

Abstract: Parenting styles influence a child’s risk forobesity. Thegoalsofthisstudyaretoevaluatetheinfluence of(i)parentingstyleonchildren’shealthbehaviors (physical activity and dietary intake), (ii) children’s sociodemographic characteristics on parenting style and on children’s health behaviors and (iii) parents’ sociodemographic characteristics on their use of controlling styles to promote a healthy home environment. Survey and anthropometric data were collected from a community sample of Latino parents (n 5 812) and their children in kindergarten through second grade. Parental use of positive reinforcement and monitoring was associated with children’s healthy eating and exercise. Also, parents’ use of appropriate disciplining styles was associated with healthier eating, while parental use of control styles was associated with unhealthy eating. The daughters of parents who used controlling styles ate more unhealthy foodsthandidthesons.Older,employedandmore acculturated parents used less controlling styles than their counterparts. Parenting interventions targeting children’s dietary intake and physical activity should encourage parents to use more positive reinforcement and monitor their children’shealthbehaviorsastheseparentingstylesare associated with healthier behaviors. Moreover, intervention researchers may want to encourage Latino parents to use less controlling styles with girls as this parenting style increased girls’ risk for unhealthy eating.
