People’s attitudes towards immigration, charitable giving, study, voluntary work, and travel are guided by what sorts of groups make them feel good – more based on how much they like Latinos than party affiliation, social and economic status. Tolerance has limits to: despite years of peaceful symbiosis, age-old distinctions between in and out groups can quickly reappear (e.g. Bosnia and Rwanda).

The Red Sneakers Effect: Inferring Status and Competence from Signals of Nonconformity
The Red Sneakers Effect: Inferring Status and Competence from Signals of Nonconformity SILVIA BELLEZZA FRANCESCA GINO ANAT KEINAN This research examines how people react to nonconforming behaviors, such as entering a luxury boutique wearing gym clothes rather than an elegant outfit or wearing red sneakers in a professional setting. Nonconforming behaviors, as costly and visible signals, can act as a particular form of conspicuous consumption and lead to positive inferences of status and competence in the eyes of others. A series of studies demonstrates that people confer higher status and competence to non- conforming rather than conforming individuals. These positive inferences derived from signals of nonconformity are mediated by perceived autonomy and moderated by individual differences in need for uniqueness in the observers. An investigation of boundary conditions demonstrates that the positive inferences disappear when the observer is unfamiliar with the environment, when the nonconforming behavior is depicted as unintentional, and in the absence of expected norms and shared standards of formal conduct. Your sweats, PJs and flip-flops are losing you n both professional and nonprofessional settings, indi- money! . Do you crave more confidence, I viduals often make a significant effort to learn and adhere respect and power? .

Working Paper Series 2017/06/MKT (Revised Version of 2015/01/MKT)
Working Paper Series 2017/06/MKT (Revised version of 2015/01/MKT) Pain of Paying? — A Metaphor Gone Literal: Evidence from Neural and Behavioral Science Nina Mazar University of Toronto, [email protected] Hilke Plassmann INSEAD, [email protected] Corresponding author Nicole Robitaille Queen’s University, [email protected] Axel Lindner Institute for Clinical Brain Research, [email protected] Dec 16, 2016 Do not share or cite without the authors’ permission How do individuals consider the price of a good when making purchase decisions? Standard economic theories assume an analytical process: Individuals consider the opportunity cost. Recent behavioral economic theories suggest an additional, hedonic process: Individuals consider the immediate displeasure or “pain of paying” the price. This paper is the first to present direct empirical evidence that the metaphor is more than a theoretical concept; it stands for a literal pain experience. In addition, the authors characterize its quality as an affective pain experience in three incentive-compatible experiments. First, an fMRI experiment suggests an affective pain experience and rejects a somatosensory (i.e., physical) pain experience. Second, the facilitation of affective pain perception through conceptual priming decreases willingness to pay (WTP). Third, misattributions of pain perception to placebo drugs increases versus decreases WTP for affective pain enhancers versus affective pain relievers. Conversely, facilitation and misattribution of somatosensory pain perceptions do not alter WTP.

In questo libro Matteo Motterlini spiega, alla luce delle affascinanti ricerche sul funzionamento del nostro cervello, cosa succede quando prendiamo decisioni finanziarie. La finanza comportamentale mostra che per comprendere i meccanismi dei mercati non basta possedere conoscenze tecniche, ma occorre essere consapevoli dell’influenza delle emozioni sui comportamenti dei risparmiatori e gestori. L’unico modo per evitare queste “trappole mentali” è sapere quali sono, e in quali circostanze ne siamo più esposti. Credo fermamente nella positività delle persone, nel “bicchiere mezzo pieno”. E credo fortemente nel ruolo del Consulente Finanziario che si dedica alle dinamiche decisionali del cliente piuttosto che all’enfasi sul prodotto. -

The first paper (Brand Tourists: How Non–Core Users Enhance the Brand Image by Eliciting Pride) demonstrates the positive impact of non-core users of a prestige brand perceived as “brand tourists” into the brand community. The second paper (The Red Sneakers Effect: Inferring Status and Competence from Signals of Nonconformity) investigates the conditions under which nonconforming behaviors, such as wearing red sneakers in a professional setting, can act as a particular form of conspicuous consumption and lead to positive inferences of status and competence in the eyes of others. -

Research Design & Qualitative Methods
Duke University Political Science 330 Research Design & Qualitative Methods Spring 2010 Tuesdays, 4:25 - 6:55, Trent Hall, Room 038A course website at: http://courses.duke.edu Prof. Tim Büthe Dept. of Political Science 303 Perkins Library (919) 660-4365 (office); (919) 493-0304 (home); [email protected] office hours: Wednesdays 1:00 - 2:30pm Objectives PS330 is a course in methods in the broadest sense. The first part of the course deals with fundamental issues that are essential for almost all social science research: concepts and measurement, ontology and epistemology, causation and inference. The second part of the course deals with issues of research design, focusing on problems of case selection in non-statistical research, and specific methodological tools and techniques for empirical research. I allow for some flexibility in the topics covered in the second part to meet students' specific needs, but I intend to cover archival research and the critical use of sources, field research, qualitative interviewing, surveys and questionnaire design, as well as content and discourse analysis. The purpose of the course is to learn specific new skills—possibly for your own use in empirical work you might do. The course should put you in a stronger position to constructively critique published research (and work in progress) from a methodological point of view. This is an important skill both for work that employs the specific techniques that we discuss in this course and for work that "only" uses data generated through such techniques—often without awareness of the implications. The course also aims to make you more aware of your own and others' epistemological assumptions, assumptions about causality, and standards for judging empirical research in political science, as well as allow you to design better research projects yourself. -

September 27, 2007 John McCall, Chico Doria and Stefano Zambelli have been educating me, from di¤erent points of view, on many fascinating visions of the thorny concept of complexity. More than a decade and a half of constant, stimulating, discussions with John McCall on Kolmogorov – algorithmic –complexity and theories of probability have been a source of great pleasure and consistent intellectual adventures. Not being particularly competent in the actual program- ming of theoretically structured computing models, I have had to rely on Stefano Zambelli for instruction and advice on the felicitous link between theory and application that is the hall mark of computational complexity theory. More recently, I have had the pleasure and privilege of being able to pick Chico Doria’s fertile brain for exotic ideas about the P =?NP question. -

The Signaling Function of Religious Speech in Domestic Counterterrorism Aziz Z. Huq* A wave of attempted domestic terrorism attacks in 2009 and 2010 has sharpened attention to the threat of domestic-source terrorism inspired or directed by al Qaeda. Seeking to preempt that terror, governments face an information problem. They must separate signals of terrorism riskfrom po- tentially overwhelming background noise and persuadejuries or fact finders that those signals warrant coercive action. Selection of accurate signals of terrorism danger in the information-poor circumstances of domestic counterterrorismis arguably a central challenge today for law enforcement tasked with preventing further terrorist attacks. To an underappreciated extent, governments have used religious speech as a proxy for terrorism risk in order to resolve this signaling problem. This Article analyzes the legal and policy significance of state reliance upon religious speech as a predictor of terrorism risk. Constitutional doctrine under the Religion Clauses does recognize interests implicated by the signalingfunction of religious speech.
