  • Stress-induced immune dysfunction: implications for health.
    Nature reviews. Immunology, 2005
    Co-Authors: Ronald Glaser, Janice K. Kiecolt-glaser
    Abstract:

    Folk Wisdom has long suggested that stressful events take a toll on health. The field of psychoneuroimmunology (PNI) is now providing key mechanistic evidence about the ways in which stressors--and the negative emotions that they generate--can be translated into physiological changes. PNI researchers have used animal and human models to learn how the immune system communicates bidirectionally with the central nervous and endocrine systems and how these interactions impact on health.

  • 2018 HES PRESIDENTIAL ADDRESS: Folk Wisdom IN ECONOMICS
    Journal of the History of Economic Thought, 2020
    Co-Authors: Evelyn L. Forget
    Abstract:

    This article highlights the roles played by knowledge brokers in the history of economics. Knowledge creation is the joint product of teams of people engaged in parallel work. Economists do their professional work, whether that involves creating elaborate theories, gathering and interpreting data, or conducting experiments, all the while creating a variety of competing narratives about the economy. Economic agents go about their daily lives creating goods and services, caring for one another, saving and consuming, all the while making decisions based on whatever narratives they believe about how the economy functions. The various narratives between and among economists and economic agents create market opportunities for knowledge brokers, who sell their services to whoever will pay. They popularize economic insights in bestselling books, and work for think tanks or with various organizations, but they are also textbook writers, journal editors, and conference organizers, all of whom jointly contribute to the edifice of economic knowledge and facilitate communication. European beekeeping is used as an analogy.

  • Folk Wisdom about the effects of relationship conflict
    2006
    Co-Authors: Jeffrey Sanchezburks, Eric J. Neuman, Oscar Ybarra, Shirli Kopelman, Hyekyung Park, Karen Goh
    Abstract:

    Three experiments examined cultural differences and similarities in Folk Wisdom about the effects of perceived conflict. In Study 1, Americans exhibited an optimistic bias relative to East Asians in their beliefs about perceived relationship conflict, but not conflict in general. Study 2 suggests that these findings cannot be alternatively accounted for by cultural differences in perceptions about the distinction, or lack thereof, between relationship and task-focused forms of conflict. Furthermore, the results demonstrated an interaction effect such that both groups prefer to proactively address and resolve perceived task conflict, whereas only European Americans perceive that it is relatively unnecessary to address relationship conflict to achieve task performance. Study 3 suggests that these cultural patterns have behavioral implications, such that Americans were more likely than East Asians to join a talented group likely to experience relationship conflict. Together, these results suggest novel implications for intra-group dynamics in intercultural contexts.
