      By: Tami Kim, Kate Barasz, Michael I. Norton and Leslie K. John

      By: Lakshmi Ramarajan and Erin M. Reid

      A Counterfeit Competence: After Threat, Cheating Boosts One's Self-Image

      By: S. Wiley Wakeman, Celia Moore and F. Gino
      In six studies, we show that after experiencing a threat to their abilities, individuals who misrepresent their performance as better than it actually is boost their feelings of competence. We situate these findings in the literature on self-protection. We show that...  View Details

      Shopping for Confirmation: How Disconfirming Feedback Shapes Social Networks

      By: Paul Green Jr., Francesca Gino and Bradley Staats

      A Game Theoretic Model for Resource Allocation Among Countermeasures with Multiple Attributes

      By: Elisabeth C. Paulson, Igor Linkov and Jeffrey Keisler
      We study a strategic, two-player, sequential game between an attacker and defender. The defender must allocate resources amongst possible countermeasures and across possible targets. The attacker then chooses a type of threat and a target to attack. This paper proposes...  View Details

      By: Ryann Elizabeth Manning, Julie Battilana and Lakshmi Ramarajan
