Testing the Efficacy and Mechanisms of an Authentic Self-expression Orientation in Enhancing Newcomer Job Performance: A Longitudinal Quasi-Field Experiment
(2020-05-01)
Building on prior research (Cable, Gino, & Staats, 2013) showing that an orientation program that emphasizes authentic self-expression (ASE) may facilitate newcomer adjustment, the present longitudinal quasi-field experiment ...
Testing the Shared-Pathway Hypothesis through experimentation on the mating behavior, carotenoid biosynthesis, and mitochondrial function of Tigriopus californicus
(2022-07-13)
For decades, scientists have noted connections between individual condition and carotenoid-based coloration in terrestrial and aquatic animals. Organisms that produce more vibrant carotenoid-based coloration tend to have ...
Tests of olfactory memory in dogs and humans
(2023-08-03)
Olfaction is a highly evolutionarily preserved cognitive process in the brains of animals. In the fields of psychology and neuroscience, research on olfaction has lagged far behind that of vision or other physical senses. ...

(2021-04-16)
Channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) and hybrid catfish (channel catfish ♀ × blue catfish (Icatlurus furcatus) ♂) aquaculture dominates the US aquaculture industry. These catfish genetic types have been heavily researched ...
“That Girl of Yours, She's Pretty Hard-Boiled”: Film Noir and the Claiming and Performance of Gender in Veronica Mars
(2009-04-15)
Veronica Mars, a television series aired on the WB and CW networks from 2004-2007, presents a world in which violence and conspiracy abound. The series starts off with the conspiracy that has most closely touched Veronica’s ...
'That Minds Are Not Alike': Implications of Gendered Literacy and Education in Revolutionary America
(2007-05-15)
In its most basic form, literacy is just a knowledge of letters; it was (and remains today) a basic goal of primary education. The early American educational system is intriguing because of its subtle ways of reinforcing ...
