From reviewing the literature & designing instruments, to administering studies, coding data, & interpreting results, these tools offer substantial opportunities to improve research productivity & advance methodology. Yet with this potential comes a critical challenge: researchers often use these systems without fully understanding how they work. This article aims to provide a practical guide for effective & responsible GenAI use in primary research. We begin by explaining how GenAI systems operate, highlighting the gap between their intuitive interfaces & the underlying model architectures. We then examine different use cases throughout the research process, both the opportunities and associated risks at each stage. Throughout our review, we provide flexible tips for best practice & firm, non-negotiable rules for effective & responsible GenAI use, particularly in areas pertaining to ensuring the validity of GenAI coded responses. In doing so, we hope to help researchers integrate GenAI into their workflows in a transparent, rigorous, & ethically sound manner.

This investigation identifies an aspect of experiences that reliably predicts the type of experience-related objects consumers prefer to acquire: perceived experience depth. Evidence from five studies and four replications (N=2036) examining past, imagined, and real-time consumption of experiences indicates that, when consumers perceive to have had a deep (vs. basic) experience consumption, they are more prone to purchasing unique (vs. typical) objects related to that experience. Further, we find that the conversational value of the object helps explain this effect. These results add to the experiential consumption literature a novel finding associated with an aspect present in virtually every experience—perceived experience depth—and an outcome of theoretical and practical relevance—consumers’ acquisitions of objects linked to their experiences.

Undergraduate Jewish Values curriculum Difficult dilemmas emerge when we transition from college into the workplace and into the community. How can we excel professionally while adhering to our Torah Values? How can we resolve conflicts between our work demands and our priorities as religious Jews? How can we tap our talents and business knowledge to contribute to our most important communal institutions, or help launch new ones? These questions are at the heart of our Jewish Values curriculum and our ability to achieve our mission at Sy Syms.Click here for Dean Wasserman’s “From the Dean’s Desk” newsletter about the launch of the Jewish Values curriculum Sy Syms Alumni Newsletter Issue 9, May 2025 Issue 9, May 2025 Issue 8, March 2025 Issue 8, March 2025 Issue 7, January 2025 Issue 7, January 2025 Issue 6, November 2024 Issue 6, November 2024 Issue 5, September 2024 Issue 5, September 2024 Issue 4, May 2024 Issue 4, May 2024 Issue 3, March 2024 Issue 3, March 2024 Issue 2, November 2023 Issue 2, November 2023 Issue 1, September 2023 Issue 1, September 2023 Issue 9, May 2025 Issue 9, May 2025 Issue 8, March 2025 Issue 8, March 2025 Issue 7, January 2025 Issue 7, January 2025 Issue 6, November 2024 Issue 6, November 2024 Issue 5, September 2024 Issue 5, September 2024 Issue 4, May 2024 Issue 4, May 2024 Issue 3, March 2024 Issue 3, March 2024 Issue 2, November 2023 Issue 2, November 2023 Issue 1, September 2023 Issue 1, September 2023 Sy Syms MBA Newsletter Sy Syms MBA Newsletter: Issue 1, May 2025 Sy Syms MBA Newsletter: Issue 1, May 2025 Sy Syms MBA Newsletter: Issue 1, May 2025 Sy Syms MBA Newsletter: Issue 1, May 2025 Keep up with everything Sy Syms!Social media News | |
