Adam Galinsky, the Morris and Alice Kaplan Professor of Ethics and Decision in Management, Derek Rucker, the Richard M. Clewett Research Professor and an associate professor of marketing, and David Dubois co-authored “The Accentuation Bias: Money Literally Looms Larger (and Sometimes Smaller) to the Powerless” in Social Psychological and Personality Science. The researchers found that the perception of the physical size of money is influenced by simple shifts in an individual’s momentary sense of power. Rucker also co-authored “The Orientation-Matching Hypothesis: An Emotion Specificity Approach to Affect Regulation.” The article, which examines how advertisements can be made more effective by matching emotional benefits to consumers’ needs, appeared in the Journal of Marketing Research. Rucker has also been named a Fellow of the Society for Experimental Social Psychology.

In the study, “Event Attention, Environmental Sensemaking, and Change in Institutional Logics: An Inductive Analysis of the Effects of Public Attention to Clinton’s Health Care Reform Initiative,” Ocasio reviews the debate over and ultimate demise of the Clinton healthcare reform proposal, and develops a theory that explains how events create opportunities for cognitive realignment and transformation in institutional logics.

The article examines the overconfidence managers may experience as a result of visualization software.
