“…Additionally, to deal with subject inattentiveness, during data screening we conducted multivariate outlier analysis and also observed the survey completion time of the survey for each respondent based on the approximate time suggested by Survey Monkey, our survey platform. Such practices comply with the recommendations from previous research (Harms & DeSimone, 2015;Meade & Craig, 2012;Newman et al, 2020). In order to avoid issue of repeated participation, we closely monitored the MTurk Worker IDs and IP addresses before approving the HITs.…”

In the present study, we examine the reciprocal relationship between employees' perceptions of workplace incivility and their deviant silence. We also explore the moderating role of moral attentiveness on the relationship between workplace incivility and deviant silence. Utilizing threewaves of longitudinal data from 297 full-time employees working in different industrial sectors in the United States, we find support for the reciprocal model as the best fit to the data, thus validating relationships over time between our study variables. Taken together, our results suggest that workplace incivility at T1/T2 significantly predicted deviant silence at T2/T3. The results also reveal that deviant silence at T1/T2 significantly predicted workplace incivility at T2/T3. Importantly, we found that reflective but not perceptual moral attentiveness significantly reduced the negative influence of workplace incivility on deviant silence in subsequent time periods.

“…The comparison between real-life, experimental, and survey data for financial decision making, such as investment behavior, has not been sufficiently addressed in the previous literature. There is evidence that data collection method affects data quality (Duffy et al, 2005;Jäckle et al, 2010;de Leeuw, 2005;Newman et al, 2021). The literature on the effect of incentivization on data quality is not coherent (Davern et al, 2003;van den Brakel et al, 2006;Stecklov et al, 2018).…”

Measuring risk‐taking and patience in financial decision making

The literature is rich in evidence of substantial heterogeneity in individual investment decisions, such as the choice of portfolio structure and savings behavior. The way individuals build their financial portfolios has been an increasingly relevant issue for economists and policy-makers alike. Economic theory suggests that household portfolio choice depends, among other things, on an individual's level of patience and willingness to take risk. These factors are also understood as the root of many economic phenomena (Donkers & van Soest, 1999).The study on financial decision making is challenging because individual preferences are difficult to measure. The literature has proposed distinct frameworks, such as the sophisticated models of the well-established prospect theory or the quasihyperbolic discounting model, to elicit relevant parameters. Collecting data on portfolio selection may also be complicated. Real-life data on portfolio choices can be difficult and expensive to obtain. Survey data are usually easier and cheaper to collect, but findings based on it cannot always be generalized. Incentivized laboratory experiments offer an interesting trade-off between generalizability and cost efficiency.There is little consensus in the literature on how the level of patience and willingness to take risk should be measured to ensure consistent and reliable results. Financial advisors and private bankers still rely on rather rough estimates based on nonsophisticated measuring methods. Previous studies investigating different elicitation methods have revealed puzzling outcomes and large inconsistencies. A low correlation among different measures is a recurrent finding (see, e.g., Crosetto & Filippin, 2016;Szrek et al. 2012;Pedroni et al., 2017). Although self-reported measures for risk-taking show slightly higher consistency

“…Limitations should be considered when interpreting these findings. The use of a nonprobability online panel reduced the ability to obtain results that can be generalized to the larger U.S. population ( Newman et al, 2020 ). This is because participants drawn from such panels tend to be younger, more liberal, more highly educated, and less religious than the general U.S. population ( Chandler & Shapiro, 2016 ).…”

Everyday discrimination and cancer metaphor preferences: The mediating effects of needs for personal significance and cognitive closure

Metaphors are often used to describe cancer experiences (e.g., battle, journey). Few studies explore how social threats (e.g., discrimination) shape metaphor preferences. We examined the relationship between discrimination and preferences for cancer battle metaphors (i.e., concrete, action-based) versus journey metaphors (i.e., open-ended, reflective) and mediating effects of needs for personal significance and cognitive closure. We also stratified the analysis when discrimination was/was not attributed to race and by racial/ethnic group. Four-hundred twenty-seven U.S. participants completed an online survey. Items included everyday discrimination, need for personal significance, need for cognitive closure, and preference for cancer scenarios using battle or journey metaphors. Multigroup structural equation modeling examined: serial mediation (i.e., discrimination predicting metaphor preference via needs for personal significance and cognitive closure) stratified by discrimination attribution; and single mediation (i.e., discrimination predicting need for cognitive closure via need for personal significance) stratified by racial/ethnic group. Discrimination was associated with battle metaphor preferences through serial mediation when discrimination was not attributed to race (β = 0.02, 95% CI [0.01,0.05]). Discrimination was directly associated with journey metaphor preferences (β = −0.20, 95% CI [-0.37,-0.06]) and the serial mediation was nonsignificant when discrimination was attributed to race. The single mediation model varied across racial/ethnic groups and was strongest for Non-Hispanic White participants (β = 0.17, 95% CI [0.07,0.30]). Discrimination may shape cancer metaphor preferences through needs for personal significance and cognitive closure, yet these relationships differ based on whether discrimination is attributed to race and racial/ethnic group. Given that the U.S. health system often focuses on battle metaphors when framing cancer treatment and screenings, individuals who prefer journey metaphors (i.e., those who experienced more frequent racial discrimination in the present study) may experience a systematic disadvantage in cancer communication. A more careful consideration of cultural, racial, and ethnic differences in metaphor use may be a crucial step towards reducing cancer disparities.
