Cooperative Advantage

Although scientists and philosophers have debated epistemological questions since the time of Plato and Aristotle, the term Epistemology is not usually noticed in management research as mentioned in the literature by Johnson and Duberley in 2000. However, epistemology is still not usually noticed in management research. The most commonly known epistemological approaches are interpretative and positivism. The purpose of this study is to introduce a cooperative advantage model in management by addressing epistemology. The study focuses on how competitive advantage damage humankind. The study also figures out whether Management is Science or Not. The study findings show that management in fact is science and philosophy however scholars of the 20th and 21st century have made management just a discipline based on the puzzle-solving approach introduced by Thomas Kuhn in 1962. I sincerely hope the scientific community to pay attention to this research.

Sexual Media

Research has shown that thoughts about death influence sexual cognitions and some media choices. The present study tested the hypothesis that thoughts about death may affect individuals’ tendency to select or avoid entertainment media programming containing sexual material. In two experiments, thoughts about death (mortality salience [MS]) were manipulated before college undergraduates expressed interest in viewing television shows and movies with varying amounts of sexual content. In both studies, MS was associated with greater overall interest in sexual media content. Although terror management theory would indicate that sexual worldview should moderate this effect, this was not observed to be the case. In addition, MS was not found to affect interest in other types of highly engaging media content including violent and dramatic content. Limitations regarding generalizability are discussed. Results suggest that MS increases a preference for sexual media content, and that this occurs for individuals with diverse sexual values systems. This is discussed in terms of implications for terror management theory and cognitive models of media influence.

Norm Of Reciprocity

Abstract. Research on terror management theory has found evidence that people under mortality salience strive to live up to activated social norms and values. Recently, research has shown that mortality salience also increases adherence to the norm of reciprocity. Based on this, in the current paper we investigated the idea that mortality salience influences persuasion strategies that are based on the norm of reciprocity. We therefore assume that mortality salience should enhance compliance for a request when using the door-in-the-face technique – a persuasion strategy grounded in the norm of reciprocity. In a hypothetical scenario (Study 1), and in a field experiment (Study 2), applying the door-in-the-face technique enhanced compliance in the mortality salience condition compared to a control group.
