Precarity is real for most of us.
Jaroslaw Grobelny, PhDNew preprint about AI anxiety in the workplace and its emergence.
AI might not be taking jobs at the moment — but many people already fear it.
In our new preprint (experiment + large panel study), we examine why.
Drawing on Integrated Fear Acquisition Theory and the Technology Acceptance Model, we show that simply framing AI as being “in control” increases job replacement anxiety — especially when AI is seen as highly useful (ease of use didn’t matter).

This week, I attended a lab meeting where we discussed the need for AI contribution statements for academic writing. (Albada & Woods, 2024)
This is fraught. While most people are talking about plagiarism and losing the ability to write without using AI, the real discussion is happening somewhere else—how to stay relevant in a world where AI will do everything.

Quite interesting conversation between Clara Mattei and Raj Patel on the role of cheap food and labor in capitalism.
I just realized that Dr. Mattei is here at TU. Huh.

Just found the Ph.D. dissertations for my grandmother and my great uncle from University of Texas at Arlington in the 1980s.
They were both experimental psychologists, but they were each studying things very near and dear to #iopsych (i.e., workplace incivility and task uniqueness/identifiability).
This should be studied more in I-O psych. All the factors listed here impact us in multiple ways, and those effects don’t stop at the door to our workplace. The spillover effects are sometimes obvious, but often denied legitimacy at work—which can compound the strain and outcomes for both workers and their families.

Illness doesn’t start and end in the body. Medical sociology studies how inequality, racism, poverty and policy decisions literally get under the skin, shaping who gets sick, who gets better care and who is left waiting. https://theconversation.com/illness-is-more-than-just-biological-medical-sociology-shows-how-social-factors-get-under-the-skin-and-cause-disease-270258 #health
