Why are Actions but not Emotions Done Intentionally, if both are Reason-Responsive Embodied Processes?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Emotions, like actions, this paper argues, are typically embodied processes that are responsive to reasons, where these reasons connect closely with the agent’s desires, intentions, or projects. If so, why are emotions, ... -
Why are major sports events trapped in the winner's curse? A case study of the 2017 World Road Cycling Championship
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Purpose – This paper sought to determine how a major sport event can become trapped in a winner’s curse, in which the fierce competition to host the event forces organisers to spend more on acquiring and hosting it than ... -
Why are There Different Grading Practices Based on Students’ Choice of Business Major?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)There is a considerable amount of focus on the grading systems applied in higher education, as it is an important tool for ranking undergraduate students’ in terms of their academic success. Several studies have suggested ... -
Why are they so similar? The interplay of linguistic and extra-linguistic variables in monolingual and bilingual learners of English
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)This study investigates the relationship between (extra)linguistic variables and proficiency in a foreign language. Based on 1,403 secondary school students in Germany (age 12/13 and 14/15), we assess whether proficiency ... -
