I have a 🚨 New Publication 🚨 explaining how to deal with missing data. This one is great for any graduate research methods class or survey research class. It offers practical guidance for dealing with missing data. https://doi.org/10.1080/10696679.2024.2376052

Think wine is a virtue, not a vice? Nutrition label information surprised many US consumers

People may be surprised when they read a nutrition label on a bottle of wine. The industry should take note.

Your back-to-school reminder that learning styles are a MYTH. There is no evidence that supports the idea that teaching to a preferred mode improves student performance.

The same people excel at object recognition through vision, hearing and touch – another reason to let go of the learning styles myth

The idea that each person has a particular learning style is a persistent myth in education. But new research provides more evidence that you won’t learn better in one modality than another.

—we study the impact of nutrition labeling on wine. The EU will start mandating these labels in December, although they are not mandatory in the US yet. Most consumers need to be prompted to read wine nutrition labels. Consumers are more surprised by the sugar content than calories. #wine #winemarketing #winetrade #nutrition #nutritionfacts #health #healthandwellbeing https://www.emerald.com/insight/content/doi/10.1108/JCM-09-2020-4101/full/html

I’m quoted in this NBC News piece on tipping behavior. #consumers #tipping #tipflation https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcna67316
Americans are tipping more often, even if they don’t want to

Americans may be grumbling about the new rules of tipping — whatever those are exactly — but they’re ponying up anyway, new gratuity data from Square show.

🚨 New Research. We show that large brands have a "dominant disadvantage" for their sustainability initiatives. Large brands tend to appear more profit-centric and less authentic than smaller brands, so they need to demonstrate a larger commitment to #sustainability.
