NFL Evolution is a Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) program designed to improve the health and safety of football participants at all levels (NFLEvolution. com). Though sport-based CSR initiatives are generally well-received by the public, the internal focus of this particular initiative may affect consumers differently. Using data provided by a sample of university students via an online survey, regression analysis was used to determine if this program affected their intentions to consume NFL-related products and media. Results showed that this form of CSR initiative may influence consumption behaviors, especially related to media consumption and intentions to discuss the NFL with others. ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR

Mindfulness has gained significant attention and momentum in business and popular culture in the US, Europe, and Australia. There is, however, a paucity of literature on how business students make sense of mindfulness and its practices. Based on our experiences of adopting mindfulness and mindfulness meditation in our teachings of management courses, we have explored how business students make sense of mindfulness and meditation. From a phenomenological perspective, we have examined our students' meditation journals, essays, and their own research on the topic of mindfulness. Based on the findings of previous empirical studies on the positive effects of mindfulness practices and our reflections on the pedagogical potential of mindfulness meditation for business education, we have emphasized that the practice of presence through mindfulness tends to enhance the business students' self-awareness and emotional skills. The implications of adopting mindfulness research and brief and deliberate practices into the business curriculum to develop embodied wisdom are also discussed.

There has been much recent literature about sex differences in competition, mostly noting that women are innately less competitive than men (Croson and Gneezy, 2009). This article examines the hypothesis that sex differences in propensity to compete are domain specific. We conducted a 2 (sex)×4 (domain) experiment with 434 participants examining competition decisions, familiarity with the domain, and performance. We find no overall sex differences in rates of competition when collapsing across all four domains, but do find sex differences in rates of competition for individual domains. Additionally we examined the importance of winning at competition on self-esteem using the Contingencies of Self-Worth, Competition subscale (Crocker et al., 2003) and find that the subscale fully mediates the effect of sex on the strength of competitive pay preferences.

We explore different contexts and mechanisms that might promote or alleviate the gender effect in risk aversion. Our main result is that we do not find gender differences in risk aversion when the choice is framed as a willingness-to-accept (WTA) task. When the choice is framed as a willingness-to-pay (WTP) task, men are willing to pay more and thus exhibit lower risk aversion. However, when the choice is framed as a willingness to accept task, women will not accept less than men. These findings imply gender differences in the endowment effect. We also find that the effect size of the gender difference in risk aversion is reduced or eliminated as the context changes from tasks framed as gambles to other domains; and that attitudes toward gambling mediate the gender effect in gambling framed tasks.
