Here's what caught my eye in research over the past week:
- Stefkovics and Sik (open access) find that interviewer happiness affects research participant happiness in face-to-face surveys, likely leading to bias in measures of happiness from those surveys
- Eisenbruch et al. find that Americans can accurately perceive foraging ability from faces of members of two traditional subsistence societies (the Hadza and the Tsimane)
And from my own research:
- With a large team led by Peter Newman (University of Toronto), our new article (open access) in the journal PLoS ONE uses a discrete choice experiment to investigate the willingness-to-pay for three HIV prevention technologies (oral pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), rectal microbicides, and HIV vaccines) among men who have sex with men in India, finding that in each case, efficacy is the most important characteristic of the prevention technology (this is part of an ongoing collaboration between Peter and I, along with others, going back a decade or more, and builds on this previous published paper (with ungated version here) using the same dataset, which looked at PrEP alone)
