Together, we're redefining what it means, looks and feels like, to be doing "woman's work" in the world today. With confidence and the occasional rant. From boardrooms to studios, kitchens to coding dens, we explore the multifaceted experiences of today's woman, confirming that the new definition of "woman's work" is whatever feels authentic, true, and right for you. We're shedding expectations, setting aside the "shoulds", giving our finger to the "supposed tos". We're torching the old playbook and writing our own rules. Who runs the world? You decide.

Do product reviews matter? Ann Kronrod , associate professor of marketing at the University of Massachusetts Lowell , reads up to find out. Ann Kronrod is an Associate Professor in the Department of Marketing, Entrepreneurship and Innovation. She earned her Ph.D. in Marketing and Cognitive Science of Language from Tel Aviv University, and later completed her education as a Postdoctoral Researcher at MIT, Sloan School of Management. Prior to joining UMass Lowell, Ann Kronrod was an Assistant Professor at Michigan State University, and then Visiting Assistant Professor at Northeastern University and at Boston University. Ann Kronrod is a marketing researcher with extensive background in linguistics. Her research interests span a wide variety of subjects that can be categorized as marketing communication, consumer behavior, word-of-mouth and pro-social marketing. She often integrates her knowledge of linguistics in her research. What Can We Learn from Exploring The Language of Product Reviews? https://academicminute.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/02-25-25-Massachusetts-Lowell-What-Can-We-Learn-from-Exploring-The-Language-of-Product-Reviews.mp3 For the past 20 years, the reviews platform YELP has been providing consumers with an indispensable opportunity to share their experiences at restaurants, medical facilities, and so on. Learning from hundreds of consumers improves our judgment about products and services, but with the recent proliferation of AI-generated reviews, fake reviews are becoming an epidemic. Sadly, we, humans, are awful at telling truth from a lie. We are correct about 51%-54% of the time, which is basically the rate of flipping a coin. I’ve been investigating Language in Marketing for the past 20 years and together with my colleagues [1] I developed an algorithm that detects fake reviews by the language they use. We found that if a consumer tried the product, their vocabulary comes from episodic memory of their experience and will contain more concrete and unique words, and sentences that relate to the what–where–when (WWW) of the experience. By contrast, if you are just making up a fake review, you simply won’t have those words in your vocabulary. Instead, you will be using words from your semantic memory: memory of general facts faintly related to the experience. So, your language will be more abstract and general and it will be unrelated to time and place. We ended up with an algorithm that detects fake reviews by their language and can be used on any set of reviews. This way, our research helps platforms like YELP overcome these negative developments threatening consumer-firm trust and customer experience.

Ivy Bourgeault, University of Ottawa – The Mental Well-Being of Professional Workers

The mental wellbeing of those with “good jobs” can still suffer. Ivy Bourgeault , professor in the school of sociological and anthropological studies at the University of Ottawa , determines what can be done. Dr. Ivy Bourgeault is a Professor in the School of Sociological and Anthropological Studies at the University of Ottawa and the University Research Chair in Gender, Diversity and the Professions. She has garnered an international reputation for her research on the health workforce, particularly from a gender lens, with a recent focus on the psychological health and safety of professional work. The Mental Well-Being of Professional Workers https://academicminute.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/01-27-25-Ottawa-The-Mental-Well-Being-of-Professional-Workers.mp3 Getting into a profession is a highly coveted achievement. It’s what every parent encourages of their children, because these are considered the ‘good jobs.’ Yet, the stressful and demanding nature of their work takes a toll on their mental health. Research we conducted in Canada reveals that there are high levels of work stress and workloads among professional workers, particularly during the pandemic. Women in the professions report significantly higher rates of work stress as well as life stress, related to the time pressures they experience and caring for children. We also found that stigma surrounding the disclosure of mental health among professional workers prevents many from taking a leave of absence to address these concerns . Take health professions for example. Health professional workers report higher levels of stress, burnout, anxiety, depression and substance use than the general public. As a result, health professionals have higher rates of absenteeism due to illness and injury than those in other occupations. Factors that encouraged health professionals to take a mental health leave included having supportive colleagues, supervisors and family. Support from colleagues and supervisors, as well as supportive workplace policies, programs and services and workplace accommodations, were also cited as factors making it easier for health professionals to return after taking a leave. Overall, our study results underscore the need to recognize and de-stigmatize the mental health issues experienced by professional workers, as well as among their colleagues and employers. Further, there is a need to take a gender-sensitive approach to develop more targeted and appropriate workplace mental health promotion initiatives that take professional workers full lives into account.

Producer’s Choice for 2024: Scott Malia, College of the Holy Cross – What Makes Bad Movies So Good?

11 weeks پیش

It’s Best-Of Week on The Academic Minute: In today’s segment, Scott Malia , associate professor and chair in the department of theatre & dance at the College of the Holy Cross , looked to find what makes bad movies so good. Associate Professor of Theatre whose specialties include LGBTQ+ Theatre, Comedy, Television, Horror Films and Cult Films. His book, Giorgio Strehler Directs Carlo Goldoni was published by Lexington Books in 2013. Other articles and writings have appeared in Theatre Journal, The Conversation, and New England Theatre Journal. His plays, The Interview, A Few Adustments and Buffering were performed as part of the Boston Theatre Marathon, with two of them published by Smith & Krauss. What Makes Bad Movies So Good? https://academicminute.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/12-27-24-Holy-Cross-What-Makes-Bad-Movies-So-Good.mp3 Bad movies are serious business, and while they can be wonderful, explaining their appeal can be a bit challenging. Badfilm, sometimes called so-bad-it’s good, is a subset of cheerfully terrible films that enjoy a strong cult, and even academic, following. For superfans, it is important to distinguish them from films that are just dull or mediocre–so what’s the difference? To help explain, look at the Golden Raspberry Awards, or the Razzies, which is one of the longest-running awards organizations specifically focused on mediocre movies. The Razzies, which have been celebrating cinematic bombs for forty years, overwhelmingly align with critics when selecting the Worst Picture of the Year, which seems to indicate that many of these films are legitimately awful, as opposed to so-bad-it’s good, which could explain why cult favorites like The Room and Troll 2 were overlooked by the Razzies. Another factor in Badfilms is genre. The most represented genre among Razzie Worst Picture winners is comedy, accounting for almost half of the winners. Why comedy? Well, Badfilm scholars and fans often point out that part of the appeal of a so-bad-it’s-good film is that in trying to do something serious, it becomes unintentionally funny. The problem is, the reverse doesn’t appear to be true. If a film is trying to be funny, it doesn’t accidentally become a drama simply because it is poorly made. So if audiences of so-bad-it’s-good are looking for laughs, quote-unquote serious films like Mommie Dearest or Plan 9 from Outer Space are the way to go. Meanwhile, Razzie-winning comedies like The Love Guru and Jack & Jill seem to fall under the category of so bad they’re …still bad.

Commissioner’s Choice Award for 2024: Garriy Shteynberg, University of Tennessee – Sharing Attention Across Societal Divides

11 weeks پیش

—

It’s Best-Of Week on The Academic Minute: In today’s Commissioner’s Choice segment, Garriy Shteynberg , associate professor of psychology at the University of Tennessee Knoxville , said shared attention can be key to bridging the gaps between us in society. Garriy Shteynberg is an associate professor of psychology at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. Garriy received his PhD in psychology from the University of Maryland, and a Master’s in Social and Cultural Anthropology from Oxford University. Beginning with his dissertation work, and taking over a decade to develop, Shteynberg has conceptualized and empirically tested the idea that shared awareness (theory of collective mind) is a hallmark of human psychology. Shteynberg has applied the concept of shared awareness to solve problems and reveal new questions in a variety of disciplines: the emergence of strategic cooperation (economics), novel social norms (sociology, anthropology), effective learning & teaching (education), social identities (psychology), the paradox of common knowledge (philosophy), and problem-solving (organizational behavior). Sharing Attention Across Societal Divides https://academicminute.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/12-26-24-Tennessee-Sharing-Attention-Across-Societal-Divides.mp3 According to Gallup Research, only 1 in 4 Americans say they trust national institutions. While institutional trust is decreasing, political polarization is increasing. When public trust and political consensus disappear, what remains? In my laboratory, we study how shared attention impacts the mind, even when shared beliefs are absent. My colleagues and I find that compared with attending to the world alone, attending together yields stronger memories, deeper emotions and firmer motivations. Studies show that seeing words together renders them more memorable, watching sad movies together makes them sadder, and focusing together on a goal increases efforts toward goal pursuit. Studies from other laboratories suggest that shared attention on a common subjective experience can build relationships. For instance, when people co-witness that they have the same gut reaction to an unfamiliar piece of music, they like each other more. Critically, relational benefits are more likely when such subjective experiences are shared simultaneously – instances when people are in a state of shared attention. When we can no longer agree on what “we” believe, sharing attention to the basic sights and sounds of our world connects us. These moments can be relatively small, like watching a movie in the theater, or large, like watching the Super Bowl. However, remembering that we are sharing such experiences with Americans of all political persuasions may be important. Why? When we share awareness of the world with others, no matter how distinct our beliefs, we form a community of minds. We are no longer alone. If we are to restore public trust, sharing attention across societal divides may be a way forward.

Sarah Kollat, Penn State University – Why Do We Like to Scare Ourselves in an Already Scary World

12 weeks پیش

What’s the benefit of frightening ourselves with horror movies and other scary adventures? Sarah Kollat , teaching professor of psychology at Penn State University , looks into why we enjoy being afraid. Sarah Kollat, teaching professor of Psychology at Penn State University. In my spare time, I volunteer as a firefighter with ALPHA Fire Company. I also write psychological thrillers under the pen name Sarah K. Stephens. When I’m not teaching, volunteering, or writing, I’m enjoying time with my husband and family in the wilds of Central PA Why Do We Like to Scare Ourselves in an Already Scary World https://academicminute.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/12-18-24-Penn-State-Why-Do-We-Like-to-Scare-Ourselves-in-an-Already-Scary-World.mp3 Haunted houses are a multi-million-dollar industry in the United States. But why do we seek manufactured fear when the real world is scary enough? Research shows that creating fear in otherwise safe lives can be enjoyable – and is a way for people to prepare for real-life dangers. Controlled fear experiences – where you can turn off the movie or walk out of the haunted house whenever you want – offer the physiological high that fear triggers, without any real risk. When you perceive yourself under threat, adrenaline surges in your body and the evolutionary fight-or-flight response is activated. Your heart rate increases, you breathe faster, and your blood pressure goes up. This physical reaction is crucial when facing a real threat. When experiencing controlled fear, you get to enjoy this energized sensation without any risks. Controlled fear experiences also create opportunities for bonding. Exposure to stress within our social group also initiates the “tend-and-befriend” system. When you encounter stressors along with people you care about, your levels of the so-called ‘love hormone’ oxytocin rise to initiate social coping strategies. As a result, navigating a recreational fear experience like a haunted house with friends sets the emotional stage to feel even more bonded afterwards. Finally, scaring ourselves is a way to prepare for the worst. For example, data shows people who regularly consumed horror media were more psychologically resilient during the COVID-19 pandemic than nonhorror fans. It’s thought that horror fans had more practice coping with fear, and were likewise better prepared to manage the real dangers of the pandemic. In the case of controlled fear experiences, scaring yourself can help you survive and adapt in a frightening world. So, for your next movie night, try choosing the dark thriller over the upbeat comedy – it just might be good for your health.
