E-Mail Workplace communication often took a back seat this past year, as employees and employers rushed to work remotely, struggled with technology barriers and adjusted to physical distancing. But the pandemic has resulted in valuable lessons for communicating on the job, according to a Baylor University study. During the onset of COVID-19 along with accompanying layoffs and a recession there likely has never been a moment with such demand for ethical listening to employees, said lead author Marlene S. Neill, Ph.D., associate professor of journalism, public relations and new media at Baylor. Ethical listening was defined by one communication manager as listening with an open mind and being able to hear the good, the bad and the ugly. Strategic listening is then taking the good and the bad and the ugly and knowing how to use the information. ....
E-Mail A lot of people think regret must be a good thing because it helps you not repeat a mistake, right? But that turns out not to be the case. Not even when it comes to casual sex, according to new research from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology s (NTNU) Department of Psychology. For the most part, people continue with the same sexual behaviour and the same level of regret, says Professor Leif Edward Ottesen Kennair. So, we repeat what we thought was a mistake, and we regret it just as much the next time around. Professor Kennair and colleagues professor Mons Bendixen and postdoctoral fellow Trond Viggo Grøntvedt have investigated whether sexual regret is functional, that is, whether it contributes to any change in behaviour. ....
E-Mail IMAGE: A gender gap in negotiation emerges in girls as young as eight, according to the latest research from Boston College s Katherine McAuliffe, director of the Cooperation Lab. view more Credit: Boston College Chestnut Hill, MA (4/1/2021) - A gender gap in negotiation emerges as early as age eight, a finding that sheds new light on the wage gap women face in the workforce, according to new research from Boston College s Cooperation Lab, lead by Associate Professor of Psychology and Neuroscience Katherine McAuliffe. The study of 240 boys and girls between ages four and nine, published recently in the journal Psychological Science, found the gap appears when girls who participated in the study were asked to negotiate with a male evaluator, a finding that mirrors the dynamics of the negotiation gap that persists between men and women in the workforce. ....
E-Mail Autistic adults can be wrongly perceived as deceptive and lacking credibility, Flinders University researchers say, with this working against many caught in the legal system. Ahead of World Autism Awareness Day (2 April 2021), a new paper in the Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders asked 1,410 civilians to respond to video recordings with 30 adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and 29 non-ASD individuals to examine whether stereotypical behaviors associated with autism influenced people s perceptions of the individual. Common behaviors include gaze aversion, repetitive body movements, literal interpretations of figurative language and poor reciprocity. Co-author Flinders Professor Robyn Young, author of Crime and Autism Spectrum Disorder: Myths and Mechanisms (2015) with Emeritus Professor Neil Brewer, says it s unfortunate that many of the behaviors that are believed to be portrayed by people who are being deceptive, often erroneou ....
E-Mail While play and playfulness have been studied well in children, their structure and consequences are understudied in adults. A new article published in Social and Personality Psychology Compass highlights available research on this topic and also examines why playfulness is important in romantic relationships. The authors note that playfulness encourages the experience of positive emotions and might relate to potential biological processes such as the activation of hormones and certain brain circuits. It also influences how people communicate and interact with each other, for example by helping to deal with stress, and solving interpersonal tension. These can all impact relationship satisfaction and trust, ultimately affecting the longevity of relationships. ....
