Posted on: Jul 27th, 2011 at 11:12 am ; No CommentsAccording to Smartmoney and the Pittsburgh Tribune, I’m now an expert on weddings (and also an expert on being terribly mis-quoted). Basically, my contention is that the reason we’re seeing more couples asking for charitable contributions as wedding gifts in lieu of traditional wedding registries is that couples are getting married at a considerably older age (up from around 22 years old to 27 years old since 1950) and with considerably more money (especially women…up from 8k/year income to about 22k per year since 1950). Instead of needing yet another set of dishes that will only serve to clutter up their homes, couples are now asking their guests to donate to charities.

Psi
Posted on: Nov 12th, 2010 at 11:08 am ; 1 CommentDaryl Bem, one of the most influential and important social psychologists of our time, recently had a paper accepted at the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, the premier social psych journal. This, in and of itself, would not be noteworthy since Dr. Bem has published numerous papers in JPSP. What is noteworthy, however, is that in this paper he conducted 9 experiments that demonstrate the existence of precognition. Yup, that’s right, ESP (or Psi as he calls it). All of the studies are incredibly well run and I have no methodological qualms with them. However, given the nature of the claim, that ESP exists, I felt that it was my duty as a scientist to attempt to replicate his findings. I teamed up with Leif Nelson and we recreated Study 8 (retroactive facilitation of memory). The gist of the study is that studying after an exam helps you on the exam itself. In this case, the exam was a memory task involving 48 common nouns.
In any case, we ran this study online and wrote up the results (tl;dr: we did not replicate his results) in a short paper which can be downloaded on SSRN.
I also put together a public version of the experiment that anyone can try out (and even get their Psi score). You can try out the experiment here.
We’ve also started to get a bit of press for our failed replication at New Scientist. And now at Cosmic Log at MSNBC.

Future Tense: Skipping the DVR skip button might help you enjoy television more
Posted on: Jan 20th, 2009 at 7:03 pm ; No CommentsHere’s the radio interview that I recently did for Future Tense.
And more coverage: Fast Company
Posted on: Jan 19th, 2009 at 6:28 pm ; No CommentsBrian Reich at Fast Company also picked up the TV Commercials paper. Here’s the story: “Commercials Improve TV? I seriously doubt that.” Brian freely admits that he has only read the Boston Globe blurb and our abstract, but still goes after us. Without reading the paper itself, his criticisms appear fair, but are all acknowledged and refuted in the paper.
Boston Globe Coverage
Posted on: Jan 19th, 2009 at 6:06 pm ; 2 CommentsKevin Lewis over at the Boston Globe apparently got wind of the TV Commercials article and wrote a small blurb yesterday. Here’s the link and here’s the copy:
WITH THE ADOPTION of digital video recorders, fewer people watch commercials on TV anymore. After all, it’s not like anyone wants to watch commercials (except during the Super Bowl, maybe). However, new research says that you may be missing out. When college students were asked to watch an episode of “Taxi,” they enjoyed the version with commercials more than the version without commercials. The same thing happened when watching a nature show, such that students who watched the version with commercials were more willing to donate to wildlife preservation. The effect arises because the novelty of an experience can wear off, and a break can reset one’s attention. There are a couple caveats to the effect, though: It doesn’t apply to older people (with their longer attention spans), or to exciting shows. Of course, if younger people watch only exciting shows, then advertisers may be out of luck anyway.
It’s obviously nice to get the coverage, but it would have been nicer had Mr. Lewis contacted one of us for a comment. Then, perhaps, he wouldn’t have been quite so dramatic in his statments of when and for whom this effect doesn’t apply.
The Blogosphere and Academic Research
Posted on: Jan 17th, 2009 at 4:01 pm ; 2 CommentsRecently, Ars Technica, a technology blog wrote a nice summary of the paper that Leif, Tom and I published, “Enhancing the Television Viewing Experience through Commercial Interruptions”. I was actually quite surprised by the depth of the post and the fact that the author likely read the entire paper and not just the abstract (or title). He understood the main ideas and didn’t cherry pick topics to suit his needs. I commend him for this.
However, the comments posted in response to this post are absolutely hilarious. One of the major points of this paper is that despite the fact that TV commercials often make the TV show in which they are embedded more enjoyable, people fail to appreciate this. Let me say that again, people fail to appreciate this. And yet, the vast majority of the comments are of the form: “I don’t believe this research. After all, I hate commercials.” I couldn’t ask for anything better. Here are some choice examples:
Sorry, I’m not buying it.
Watching a TV show on DVD is SO much better than mainly because of no commercials.
I always skip through the commercials when watching stuff on the DVR which is 90+ Percentage of all my TV watching.
And another:
The fact that a lot people keep watching a series when they record it and skip the commercials proves that the study couldn’t be more wrong. Hell, some even only watch recorded shows just to skip the commercials. Others even drop cable and satellite in favor of watching the same shows on DVD, Hulu or even Bittorrent! I’m sorry, but real world evidence is completely counter to the study’s biased results.
I love that his example “proves that the study couldn’t be more wrong.”
We also make a point in the paper that this effect can not be due to contrast effects. In other words, commercials don’t make the show more enjoyable because they make the television program look better by comparison. We demonstrate this in one experiment by including a commercial break that is as enjoyable as the program and in another experiment where all participants receive the same commercials, just that for some of them the commercials disrupt the program and for others they don’t. Here’s a great comment suggesting just the opposite:
This is like saying if you eat dog crap in between meals, your regular food will taste better. Although it’s probably true, I’d rather just not eat the dog crap.
There was also a decent amount of inquiry as to who funded this research. The simple answer is that the Stern School of Business did. There was absolutely no outside funding and their was no subversive purpose to the research. Then again, from the comments:
Now, who wants to lay down a bet that this was funded by an ad company?
All in all, I’m simply very amused. People in the blogosphere often don’t read the entire paper (though I again commend the author of the original post for doing so) and choose to instead ignorantly criticize everything. On the surface it’s entertaining, but there is a more sinister side to this ignorance. Commenters will walk away thinking that they understand a concept that they really don’t. They will propagate this misinformation throughout the virtual and real world. And they will subsequently create false knowledge. This is the exact opposite goal of scientific inquiry and a real problem.
Oh well, for now I’ll stick with this being entertaining.
First Press Interview
Posted on: Jan 17th, 2009 at 3:39 pm ; No CommentsI recently had the pleasure of chatting on the phone with Jon Gordon of Future Tense, a radio personality for Minnesota Public Radio. Jon interviewed me about the paper that Leif, Tom, and I recently had electronically published at the Journal of Consumer Research, “Enhancing the Television Viewing Experience through Commercial Interruptions.” I have to admit that I was a bit nervous, but Jon did a great job of asking me poignant questions that (hopefully) yielded coherent and thoughtful answers.
The interview will likely air on Monday, though not in NYC. Thankfully, the broadcast will also go out over the internet and will be saved as a podcast and downloadable MP3 (all at this site).
I can’t wait to hear how it comes out!

Collecting Experimental Data Online: Consumer Behavior Lab
Posted on: Jan 12th, 2009 at 8:35 pm ; No CommentsFor those of you that don’t know, a couple of years ago I created consumerbehaviorlab.com, an online research lab. I primarily use Flash to program the experiments and have collected a great deal of invaluable data. To date, my colleagues and I have run 80 experiments and collected data from 14,056 participants. Not bad for just over 2 years of up time! There are currently 2,755 active participants of varied demographic backgrounds.
This isn’t an attempt to brag, but rather a suggestion for other behavioral researchers: collect data online! It’s easy, fast, and inexpensive. We usually let participants participate for about 5 days (though 95% complete the study within 24 hours) and pay them with entry into a $50 lottery. When was the last time “real life” participants came that cheaply? So if you have the means, go out and conquer! There is much data to be had.
I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about online data collection, so if you have any questions about how I do it, don’t hesitate to ask.
Site Launch
Posted on: Jan 9th, 2009 at 3:53 pm ; 1 CommentWelcome to my new academic page!
I plan to keep all my academic happenings up to date and perhaps even provide some commentary on what is going on in the academic world.
I would like to thank the excelent developers at Vercingetorix Technologies for building this site. The bulk of the work was building the back-end (all WordPress) and I couldn’t be more pleased with how it turned out. The idea is that every entry (publication, presentation, collaborator, etc…) is its own “blog post” and thus can be very easily updated and/or moved around (Working Paper -> Publication…assuming all goes well!).
