Dual-Process Reasoning in Charitable Giving: Learning from Non-Results

Games, 2017
To identify dual-process reasoning in giving, we exposed experimental participants making a charitable donation to vivid images of the charity’s beneficiaries in order to stimulate affect.

Agent‐Based Simulations of Lung Tumor Evolution Suggest That Ongoing Cell Competition Drives Realistic Clonal Expansions

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Computational simulations of tumor evolution are increasingly used to infer the rules underlying cancer growth, with the goal of one day recommending tailored treatments. Here we show that the properties of lung cancer sequencing data are best replicated by a model which assumes that cells compete both to proliferate and survive. ABSTRACT Computational

Global Giving

Journal of Trial and Error, 2020
Why do citizens in some countries take more responsibility for the well-being of others than in other countries? This project seeks to understand the genesis of prosociality, investigating its biological foundations, the influence of cultural traditions,

Of the multitude of questions that beset analysis of the functions of, and justifications for, philanthropy, one subset is generated by the phenomenon of charitable giving by business corporations. Do (or should) such corporations have the power to make philanthropic gifts?

The giving standard: conditional cooperation in the case of charitable giving [PDF]

International Journal of Nonprofit and Voluntary Sector Marketing, 2011
Abstract In this study, we make a first attempt to investigate the mechanisms of conditional cooperation in giving outside experiments, using retrospective survey data on charitable giving (the Giving the Netherlands Panel Study 2005 (GINPS05, 2005; N = 1474)).

Chromatin Packing Domain Engineering Through the Manipulation of Nuclear Cationic States

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Manipulation of intranuclear divalent cation concentrations rapidly and reversibly remodels chromatin packing domains in living cells. Magnesium depletion disrupts domain compaction, heterochromatin organization, and transcriptional regulation, whereas magnesium loading promotes more compact and stable domains.

Moral Emotions and Beliefs Influence Charitable Giving

Games
This paper studies the influence of moral emotions and beliefs on understanding charitable giving. While specific moral emotions such as empathy, guilt, and shame have been associated with prosocial behavior, how they impact giving behavior may depend on

Bistable Networks Enable Complex Shape Changes

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Transition‐controlled metamaterials are networks of bistable mechanical memory that store local binary states and express them as global shape change. By decoupling low‐force programming from high‐force holding, a single lattice is reconfigured into distinct 2D profiles and 3D surfaces without continuous actuation, enabling reusable morphing materials ...

Awareness and use of a community health worker program among racial/ethnic minority adults in Philadelphia: Results from a cross‐sectional community health survey

American Journal of Community Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract Community health workers (CHW) programs are effective at reducing hospitalizations, improving mental health, and supporting health‐promoting behaviors. Research suggests awareness and use of CHW services remain uneven across communities nationally.

Australian Journal of Social Issues, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Providing meaningful animal contact to residential aged care facility (RACF) residents is problematic due to a lack of animal policies and National Guidelines. This paper examines how Australian Legislation could influence access to animal contact in RACFs and aims to answer the question, ‘Could current Legislation facilitate the development ...
