Patashnik, Jeffery A. Jenkins Politics is at its most dramatic during debates over important pieces of legislation. It is thus no stretch to refer to legislation as a living, breathing force in American politics. And while debates over legislative measures begin before an item is enacted, they also endure long afterward, when the political legacy of a law becomes clear.

Galinsky Learn more Published Research Economics The Intergovernmental Grant System Authors: Raymond C. Scheppach, W. Bartley Hildreth, Robert D. Ebel, John E. Petersen (eds.)

Learn more Published Research Social Psychology Instrumentality boosts appreciation: Helpers are more appreciated while they are useful Authors: Benjamin Converse, A. Fishbach We propose that in social interactions, appreciation depends on the helper’s instrumentality: The more motivated one is to accomplish a goal and the more one perceives a potential helper as able to facilitate that goal, the more appreciation one will feel for that helper. Three experiments support this instrumentality-boost hypothesis by showing that beneficiaries feel more appreciation for their helpers while they are receiving help toward an ongoing task than after that task has been completed or after the helper has been deemed no longer instrumental.
