Post by Qin Zhao, PhD, Professor of Psychology, Western Kentucky University You get an exam back and see two numbers: your score and your percentile. Or a performance review shows both your rating and how you stacked up against colleagues. Which one matters more for how you feel and self-evaluate, and for what you expect to do next? Intuitively, many people assume that rankings matter more. After all, comparisons are everywhere: leaderboards, curves, and “above average” labels. But research tells a different story: your actual, absolute performance has a stronger and more reliable impact on satisfaction with performance, emotions, and…

I have loved the summer of 1816 since I was a kid, which probably tells you what kind of kid I was. It is the worst vacation in the history of literature and the best thing that ever happened to horror. Picture the villa above Lake Geneva. The rain will not stop, the cold has no business being there in June, and the dark sits against the windows like it wants a look at the people inside. There are five of them. A poet in disgrace, the young doctor who cannot stand him, two lovers who are not married, and…

“Who do you call —and who’s gonna brawl— when the ghosts need an ass-kicking instead of an exorcism? Rocky Balboa collides with Ghostbusters in this comedic supernatural tale that reunites the New York Times Bestselling, Eisner and Harvey Award-winning creative team of writer John Layman and artist Rob Guillory, the minds behind the beloved blockbuster Image Comics series CHEW, in the upcoming GHOSTBRAWLER: Bruiser Edition.” GHOSTBRAWLER is an all-new ongoing comic book series, set to debut on Kickstarter this June from Plate Lunch Originals, Guillory’s creator-owned banner.

My father was a conservative man, socially and politically, but on one theme he overtook the liberals in their own lane: women’s empowerment. From the time I was old enough to observe, he supported rising and powerful women. Thatcher in the 80s—at least until she started the Falklands War; Madeleine Albright in the 90s; respect for Benazir Bhutto and Corazon Aquino, as well as several business leaders. A vivid memory I retain is his regularly handing me newspaper articles about powerful women. “Couldn’t you do this?” He was talking about Christine Bortenlänger, who started running the Munich stock exchange at…

Most people believe they want the truth. I’m not so sure. I think what many of us really want is to be right. The distinction may seem subtle, but it has enormous consequences for our relationships, our learning, and our mental health. Being right feels good. It provides certainty in an uncertain world. It reassures us that our beliefs, decisions, and actions make sense. It protects our self-image and gives us confidence. In fact, being right can be psychologically rewarding in much the same way as other pleasurable experiences. We experience a sense of validation, competence, and sometimes even superiority.…

Two jobs are sitting on Curry Barker’s desk, and they could not look more different from across the room. One is a fake haunted house run by two grifters with a fog machine and a bag of cheap tricks. The other is a real farmhouse in Texas where the family eats people. Barker has signed on to both. The first is Anything But Ghosts, the supernatural horror film he directed and co-wrote with his longtime partner Cooper Tomlinson, now in post-production for Focus Features. The second is a new Texas Chainsaw Massacre feature that A24 has handed him to write…
