☆ What Will Motivate More People to Make Their Homes More Energy Efficient?
  + stars: | 2023-11-30 | by ( Lisa Ward | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
Researchers are examining whether social networks and connections can be leveraged to convince more households to make energy upgrades. Photo: Michael Conroy/Associated PressHow do you get people to reduce their home’s carbon footprint? The U.S. government hopes the answer is to appeal to their pocketbooks. As part of the Inflation Reduction Act, the government is rolling out increased federal tax credits and rebates to help offset the cost of energy-efficient upgrades such as electric heat pumps and added insulation, and adoption of clean-energy technologies such as rooftop solar.

☆ Why More Female Executives Don’t Play Golf—and Why That’s a Problem
  + stars: | 2023-04-11 | by ( Lisa Ward | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
Many executives say playing golf benefits their careers, but only about a quarter of golfers are women. Female executives face all sorts of barriers when it comes to using one of the great networking tools for business: golf. That’s according to a new study, identifying some of the benefits female executives derive from playing golf, as well as the reasons more female executives don’t golf. The study’s authors conducted a content analysis, reviewing almost 100 articles from academic journals, trade publications, general-interest publications and golf associations.
☆ Just How Much of a Workout Do You Get From Carrying Your Own Golf Clubs?
  + stars: | 2023-04-04 | by ( Lisa Ward | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
Most calories burned during a round of golf come from walking, whether you carry your bag or not. Carrying a bag of golf clubs over 18 holes of golf may sound like grueling exercise, but it may not be as good of a workout as many golfers might think. That’s according to a new study that found that the calories burned from carrying a golf bag, with 14 clubs, weighing 15 pounds, wasn’t significantly different than manually pulling a golf bag on wheels or using an electric trolley, which requires no additional effort and is very similar to using a golf caddie since the trolley can automatically follow golfers around the course.
☆ Want to Reduce Binge Drinking Among Teens? Try Taxing E-Cigarettes
  + stars: | 2023-03-10 | by ( Lisa Ward | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
Vaping and binge drinking may go together for many teens, so a tax that reduces vaping could also reduce drinking. Taxes on electronic cigarettes are designed to deter vaping. For teens, though, such taxes might have some unintended additional health benefits. A recent study found that states and municipalities with electronic-cigarette taxes had not only lower rates of vaping by teenagers, but less binge drinking and fewer drunken-driving fatalities for teens as well.
☆ The High Price Retirees Pay for Collecting Social Security Too Early
  + stars: | 2023-02-18 | by ( Lisa Ward | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
Researchers found that almost 90% of workers age 45 to 62 would benefit by waiting until age 70 to collect Social Security. It’s no secret that retirees are often better off waiting to collect Social Security benefits. But exactly how much money are people leaving on the table by taking benefits early? A recent study, funded by the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, finds that retirees often give up tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of dollars by taking Social Security benefits too early. That takes into account that if a retiree claims Social Security at age 70 instead of 62, the monthly benefit could be 76% higher, adjusted for inflation.
☆ What to Know About Getting a Job in Cybersecurity
  + stars: | 2022-12-05 | by ( Lisa Ward | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
Several hundred colleges and universities have been designated as National Centers of Academic Excellence in Cybersecurity. For job seekers, the field of cybersecurity can seem like a gold mine. It has more than 750,000 job openings, and the pay can go from around $86,000 for an entry-level position to more than $160,000 for a senior one, a scan of job postings shows. But the field is so new that many job seekers don’t know what kinds of skills or degrees are required or what kinds of jobs are out there.

When a boss is curious about something, employees are likely to feel secure, voice their opinions and take risks—if, that is, the boss is a man. But when a female boss displays curiosity, it often goes unnoticed, according to a recent study.
☆ When Your Spouse Doesn’t Recycle...

A desire for a positive couple identity when it comes to sustainability holds lessons for businesses. If you saw your spouse throwing away a glass bottle instead of recycling it, would it make you more likely to recycle? The answer has a lot to do with who has the decision-making power in the relationship.
☆ Why Some People Are Drawn to Buying the Latest Gadget

‘Tech-gadget lovers seem to have an intrinsic love of learning about technology,’ says Prof. Justin McManus. Why do some people buy the latest tech gadgets? The conventional wisdom often says it is mainly to signal status or power. Instead, the study found, tech lovers often buy the latest gadget because they want to learn about new technologies. For these purchasers, new gadgets can help foster personal growth and even make them feel more competent.
