How Social an Animal? the Human Capacity for Caring
How Social an Animal? The Human Capacity for Caring C. Daniel Batson University of Kansas I I II I ABSTRACT." We live in a social arena. Yet, in our inter- simply complex objects in our environment--important actions with others do we ever really care about them, or sources of stimulation and gratification, of facilitation and is the real target of our concern always, exclusively our- inhibition--as we each pursue self-interest. We care for selves? For many years psychology, including social psy- them only insofar as their welfare affects ours. chology, has assumed that we are social egoists, caring Perhaps the clearest way to phrase the question I am exclusivelyfor ourselves. Today, the computer analogy that raising is by borrowing Milton Rokeach's (1973) distinc- underlies so much thinking in cognitive and social psy- tion between terminal and instrumental values. Each of chology overlooks the fact that we care altogether. Recent us values at least some other people. But do we value evidence in support of the empathy-altruism hypothesis these others for their own sakeaa terminal value--or for suggests a very different view. It suggests that not only do ours--an instrumental value?

Those who provided me with words of encouragement and support, those who talked me down from the ledge when the bumps seemed too daunting, and those who helped smooth the path by taking time to teach and guide me. I will forever be grateful for my family, friends, and the OSU faculty and doctoral students who provided me with endless amounts of support and guidance. I would like to especially acknowledge my dissertation chair, Rebecca Greenbaum, who has been a wonderful mentor and friend.

I want to thank her for her patience, expertise, guidance, support, feedback, and encouragement over the years. -
Do Network Dynamics Undermine Idea-Based Network Advantages? Experimental Results from an Entrepreneurship Bootcamp∗
Do network dynamics undermine idea-based network advantages? Experimental results from an entrepreneurship bootcamp∗ Rembrand Koning Harvard Business School August 29, 2016 Abstract Do networks plentiful in ideas provide early stage startups with performance advantages? On the one hand, network positions that provide access to a multitude of ideas are thought to increase team performance. On the other hand, research on network formation argues that such positional advantages should be fleeting as entrepreneurs strategically compete over the most valuable network positions. To investigate these competing views, I embed a field experiment in a startup bootcamp to test if networks that are plentiful in ideas lead to sustainable network- based performance advantages. Leveraging data on each participant's creative potential, I use peer randomizations and detailed data on network formation to show that ties to more creative individuals improve team performance. Despite the performance benefits of such connections, I find little evidence that entrepreneurs strategically connect to others who have greater cre- ative potential. Instead, entrepreneurs seek feedback from others on dimensions that are more socially salient and verifiable. Beyond providing causal evidence for the durability of network- based performance advantages, these findings provide micro-level support to the importance of knowledge spillovers within bootcamps, accelerators, and startup ecosystems more generally. ∗Please direct correspondence to [email protected]. This work has benefited from excellent feedback provided by sem- inar participants at Stanford GSB, Northwestern Kellogg, Chicago Booth, Michigan, Duke Fugua, HBS, Wharton, Berkeley, INSEAD, MIT's Conference on Digital Experimentation, the 2014 Conference on Computational Sociol- ogy, Airbnb, and Google. Special thanks to everyone who made the bootcamp happen, especially Ponnurangam Kumaraguru and Randy Lubin. -

Exotics at Redmond Town Center Blog Archiver for 2019
Exotics at Redmond Town Center Blog Archiver for 2019 ______________________________________________________________________________ December 27, 2019 Happy Battery Day! Yup, happy Battery Day! I don’t know about you, but December 26 was always the day my parents would have to run to the store to buy all the batteries our toys needed on Christmas Day. We never seem to have the right batteries and back then, the box didn’t say batteries were not included. Nothing was open on Christmas Day. Remember some of the toys we’d get? Monsters that shot actual sparks? They could burn down a house! Then there was the Gilbert chemistry set, where you’d be in the basement cooking meth and not even know it. You could do some serious Walter White crap and nobody said anything. About the only thing not in that set was plutonium. You’d look at the periodic table to see what was missing and try and collect it like stamps. Mine came in a big metal box because half the stuff was so corrosive that the box would eventually have holes in it. I had to store it in a “safe” place to keep it from eating through concrete. Kids have it easy today. They don’t get anything that will instantly turn to cyanide if you missed a sentence in the directions and kill everyone in the entire block. Kids today don’t get stuff that, where dad says, “Timmy, don’t blow up the house!” he kind of means it. Remember Christmas light that burned so hot they could warm the entire house? It wasn’t a matter of if you left the lights on they would burn the house down, but rather, don’t leave them on or you burn the entire house down. -
For Hecuba Or for Hamlet: Rethinking Emotion and Empathy in the Theatre
Spring 2011 71 For Hecuba or for Hamlet: Rethinking Emotion and Empathy in the Theatre Amy Cook It is true that I am a proselytizer for the work being done at the intersection of the cognitive sciences and the humanities; I can be found on college campuses shaking a copy of The Way We Think (2002) or How the Body Shapes the Mind (2006) and spreading the good word about the importance of deploying research from across the cognitive sciences to previously held beliefs about language and bodies onstage. My aims are not small and my opinions are not meek. There are questions about the great impact that language and performance has on an audience to which I still do not have the answer and yet find more exciting given research in the cognitive sciences. This essay, however, will not be a manifesto, nor will it present clear answers or bold claims. Working in an intersection requires a degree of caution. I know better than to let that metaphor go unquestioned: interdisciplinary inquiry need not be work and it need not be perilous. If, instead, I describe my project here as playing on the beachfront of theatre and performance studies, watching how the waves of research from the cognitive sciences come in and alter the shoreline, I may open up the field of play, rather than advancing an argument for a kind of work. This is not to suggest that the scholarship is lazy and noncommittal, rather that what I seek to do here is imagine the kinds of sandcastles that could be made on this beach here and now. -
