This just online from Leadership Quarterly: authors.elsevier.com/c/1f~My3kWknuq… Detailed review of eye gaze and leadership, brilliantly led by Joey Cheng!

Makes me think of Joey Cheng & Joe Henrich 's work on prestige - which represents status that is given rather than taken (or bought). The value of the blue check stems from it being conferred on you by a 'legitimate' authority. This value reduces once you can simply pay for it.

Interested in how you can use #eyetracking to improve #leadership research and contribute to behavior-based #evidence? Then read our new LQ paper!

Our new paper--out in PNASNews today--shows that wealth redistribution promotes happiness. This #MysteryExperiment began when a wealthy couple partnered with TED Talks to give away $2 million. pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

Now online and free of charge at #PNAS: results from a #worldwide #CitizenScience project on the #menstrual cycle "When fertile, women seek status via prestige but not dominance". (1/n) doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2…

Informed by work from Joey Cheng, Jess Tracy , Joe Henrich I tracked status-seeking by measuring the motivation for prestige & dominance. I found that status-seeking via prestige but not dominance peaked when conception was most likely, as did two forms of self-esteem. (4/n)

My paper with @cailinmeister on how interdisciplinarity makes science better (illustrated with cultural evolutionary modeling) is now out in its fully formatted glory. journals.sagepub.com/doi/epub/10.11…

The Laboratory for Culture, Cognition & Coevolution will be considering applications for graduate study. From an evolutionary perspective, we study many aspects of human behavior and psychology, including cooperation, religion, status, innovation, kinship & marriage.
