SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:AI as Self-Discovery: How Large Language Models Reveal the Essence of the Human Mind\, and Why It Matters
DESCRIPTION:Most discussions of artificial intelligence center on its instrumental role—how it will transform industries and economies. But it may do something even more radical: reveal who we are. As artificial minds become more capable\, they will expose the deep principles underlying human thought—how reasoning\, agency\, and creativity actually work. AI thus offers not just a technological revolution but a humanistic one. This new self-understanding\, I argue\, will force us to rethink core ideas about mind\, agency\, and the basis of praise and blame.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Incentives and the Social Fabric of Organizations
DESCRIPTION:When do incentives work\, and when and why do they backfire? How do incentives interact with the social context of organizations in which the incentives are used? This talk presents evidence from a series of field experiments\, and it draws on relational incentives theory to reconcile seemingly divergent findings. In the first experiment\, social recognition incentives had positive and enduring effects on volunteer retention at Wikipedia. In contrast\, a second field experiment in healthcare reveals how social recognition incentives backfired\, undermining physicians’ well-being at work. A third study\, conducted in the same healthcare setting\, shows that a form of participation incentive—a co-creation initiative with physicians—enhanced physician motivation and organizational citizenship behaviors. This research program dissects the reciprocal influences of incentives and social relationships to study how they jointly shape motivation\, behavior\, and well-being\, with implications for designing more effective incentive systems.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Building Social Capital by Balancing Voices in School Governance
DESCRIPTION:We propose that schools can build social capital through an explicit school governance framework called Balancing Voices that concerns decisions about implementing and evaluating new schoolwide policies or practices\, engaging community members\, and evaluating teachers and administrators.  In an RCT of role play simulations\, those assigned to a Balancing Voices approach versus business-as-usual reported higher levels of key precursors of social capital — procedural fairness and legitimacy of authority figures.  The estimated effects are especially positive for those who played roles other than administrator. Accordingly\, schools that more explicitly and formally balance the interests of different stakeholders in their decision making may be able to cultivate greater flows of social capital to improve instructional practices and student outcomes\, including equity.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Challenging the Gender Equality Paradox: Evidence from 50 States\,  17 Years\, and 21 Million Individuals
DESCRIPTION:How does societal gender equality influence gender gaps at the individual level? Contradictory theoretical  perspectives exist on this seemingly intuitive question. While social role theory and the theory of  circumscription and compromise suggest that greater parity in society leads to smaller psychological  differences between genders\, gender-essentialist perspectives suggest the opposite. Over the last decade\, a  stream of cross-cultural studies supported the latter with paradoxical findings that greater societal gender  equality is associated with larger\, not smaller\, gender differences in preferences\, attitudes\, and behavioral  patterns at the individual level. In this talk\, I discuss key limitations in previous studies and challenge the  so-called “gender equality paradox” by presenting findings from multilevel modeling with data on the  career interests of 21 million U.S. individuals across 50 states over a 17-year time span. I demonstrate  divergence in the cross-level effects at the within- and between-state levels\, with different gender equality  indicators\, and across various interest dimensions. This work helps reconcile conflicting theories and  empirical findings and offer new and more nuanced insights into policies and interventions aiming at closing gender gaps.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Two Steps Forward\, One Step Back: How Progress Steadiness Affects Motivation
DESCRIPTION:Rarely is the path to goal accomplishment perfectly smooth. Making progress on everyday goals is often unsteady\, in that each unit of effort or time spent generates unequal results. In this research\, we examine how progress steadiness affects motivation. Although unsteady goal progress is common in both work and personal pursuits\, we suggest that goal pursuers find it discouraging. We hypothesize that even when goal progress is equal in amount and speed\, unsteady (vs. steady) progress decreases people’s sense of accomplishment and motivation to continue\, and increases quitting. Across a variety of goal domains\, findings from vignette experiments\, recall studies\, and real-time achievement tasks support these hypotheses. We also explore the mediating psychological variables and identify how manipulations targeting expectations about progress steadiness and encouraging a more abstract view of progress can reduce the negative effects of unsteady progress.
