   Sexual harassment, bullying, disrespect.... The Payoff. (How prevalent is workplace mistreatment? A meta‐analytic investigation)

   When employees experience discrimination, harassment or bullying in the workplace, it can lead to anxiety, depression, sleep disturbances and other health problems. Furthermore, it can also cause employees to lose confidence in their abilities and self-esteem, which affects their performance and engagement. Aside from the individual impact, poor treatment in the workplace can also lead to a problematic work climate and high levels of employee turnover. Employees who have experienced workplace abuse often become internally disengaged and may feel compelled to leave the company. But how big is the problem? How often do psychological and physical assaults take place in the workplace? A gigantic new meta-analysis (Dhanani et al., 2021) provides hard numbers, and the researchers even calculate the financial cost to our society.... __________________ Studies (small sample only): Cortina, L.

   Why Time Limits Make Your Kid More Addicted (The Lego Experiment)

   Why "Just 10 More Minutes" Backfires: The Psychology of Time Limits Do you constantly find yourself telling your kids, "You only have 20 minutes of tablet time" or "Just one more level"? Many parents rely on time limits to control screen time or play, but what if setting these boundaries actually makes the craving worse? In this episode, we dive deep into the psychological effects of prohibitions and limitations. We discuss a fascinating study by Maimaran and Salant (2019), published in the journal Judgment and Decision Making. In an experiment with 4- to 5-year-olds, the researchers found that children who were given a strict time limit played with Legos for approximately 27% longer on average than children who were given no limit,. The psychological phenomenon at work here is reactance: as soon as our freedom is limited, we instinctively try to regain it, making the restricted activity suddenly appear more valuable,. We discuss: • Why artificial scarcity works not just in marketing ("only 1 item left in stock!"), but also in the playroom. • How you can flip this effect for good: The study shows that children consume more healthy food (like carrots) when it is presented as being "limited in quantity",. • Alternatives to constant time negotiations: Is it better to remove temptations like game consoles entirely, or should you rely on child safety modes and restricted apps to avoid the constant battles? Tune in to understand how to set limits wisely without accidentally triggering the exact behavior you want to avoid!

   Smells Like Clean Spirit: The Power of Scent - How Smells Influence Our Behavior

   A study titled "Smells Like Clean Spirit: Nonconscious Effects of Scent on Cognition and Behavior" by Rob W. Holland, Merel Hendriks, and Henk Aarts (2005), published in Psychological Science, investigated how scents can influence human behavior. In one experiment, participants were subtly exposed to a citrus scent. The results showed that those in the scented environment cleaned up after themselves more thoroughly during a crumbly snack task compared to participants in an unscented room. This suggests that certain scents, like citrus, can unconsciously promote behaviors such as cleanliness.
