TL;DR: The who, why, and how of pre-registration is examined in order to weigh the costs and benefits to researchers and motivate continued adoption.

TL;DR: The authors examined how employees' unethical pro-organizational behavior (UPB) increases work-to-life conflict and found that UPB triggers emotional ambivalence by simultaneously inducing guilt (negative moral emotion) and pride (positive moral emotion).

TL;DR: This paper found that people underestimate how much their partners like them after initial conversations, and that the liking gap is largest for peer relationships and that it is determined in part by the extent to which people focus on negative aspects of the impressions they make on others.

TL;DR: In this paper, a randomized field experiment was conducted to evaluate the impact of two common types of symbolic awards: pre-announced awards (prospective) and surprise awards (retrospective) on student attendance.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose that relationship strength exhibits a U-shaped relationship with monitoring quality, as mediated by trust, and test their theory with three studies: a field study using longitudinal archival data on financial restatements, a survey of certified public accountant, and an experimental audit simulation.

TL;DR: This work uses concreteness as an example case for how language measures can be systematically evaluated across many studies, and demonstrates how reproducibility and open data can improve measurement validity for high-dimensional data.

TL;DR: The authors proposed a model that describes how fluctuations in attention to choice set features impacts decision-making and found evidence for the model's predictions across two laboratory studies where participants made incentivized choices between consuming multiattribute bundles as their eye movements were recorded.
