Being a parent is often a balancing act of comfort and discipline. According to a recent study lead by researches from the University of Pennsylvania, the University of Michigan, and Michigan State University, the environment parents created at home can have a lasting impact on their kids, and if that home life is harsh it can lead to antisocial behavior in children. Host Dan Loney speaks with Rebecca Waller, Lead author of this study and Assistant Professor of Psychology at Penn, about the results of this study on Knowledge@Wharton. Rebecca is also the Director of Penn's EDEN Lab (Emotion, Development, Environment, & Neurogenetics). Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The term “fake news” has been added to American lexicon courtesy of current President Trump. He has used it to dissuade Americans from believing many of the negative stories about him that have come out since the presidential election of 2016. Disinformation campaigns are nothing new as countries have been running them for decades in wars and battles. But we are now seeing increased targeted campaigns and stories without any factual basis. In this era of big data, these “fake news campaigns” are micro-targeting naïve consumers to gain an advantage. Eric Clemons, Professor of Operations, Information and Decisions at The Wharton School, joins host Dan Loney to discuss his recent opinion piece examining this recent pattern of fake news campaigns on Knowledge@Wharton.
