The publications page on the Baumeister/Tice lab is a treasure trove for people interested in self-regulation, behaviour decision making and related areas
"If you can’t join them, beat them: Effects of social exclusion on aggressive behavior."- from Baumeister lab
Our recent summer school writing for publication class said to steer clear of catchy titles but where's the fun in that!
When discussing ideas around facial blushing as a result of a participant singing aloud my supervisor recommended applying it to female eating and obesity and calling the study "It's not over 'til the fat lady sings"- shir why not!
Some very interesting stuff yes.The Baumeister, R.F. & Vohs, K.D. (2004) paper makes the observation that "In two studies of women’s clothing fashions spanning 1885 to 1976, N. Barber (1999) found that skirt length covaried with the sex ratio, such that women wore shorter skirts when there were fewer men. Short skirts were also linked to high divorce rates (which also indicate higher female competition for men). Wearing short skirts is analogous to advertising one’s wares, as a way of stimulating demand for one’s product. It fits the economic analysis to suggest that sellers advertise more aggressively when demand is low." I could never get away with stuff like that!
