Yue Qian, Wen Fan
ILR Review·2025
<jats:p>The COVID-19 pandemic led to an unprecedented expansion of working from home. To capture the individual well-being implications of this profound social change, the authors examine how workers’ affective well-being changed from pre-pandemic to the pandemic era and how such change varied at the intersections of work location, parental status, and occupational teleworkability. Data came from the American Time Use Survey (2003–2021), the American Community Survey, the Current Population Survey, and the Oxford COVID-19 Government Response Tracker. Ordinary Least Squares models show that the pandemic exacerbated negative affect the most for remote-working parents in less-teleworkable occupations. This pandemic impact was most pronounced during school closures, suggesting that rising challenges in balancing work–family demands heightened negative affect among remote-working parents with less-teleworkable occupations. Overall, this study reveals the heterogeneous well-being impacts of working from home and highlights the adverse implications of weak care infrastructures and inadequate workplace support for parental well-being.</jats:p>

View paper →Mysterious illnesses have supernatural and ritualistic cures: Evidence from 3,655 century-old Irish folk cures
Mícheál de Barra, Ángel V. Jiménez, Nachita Rosun, Aiyana K. Willard
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences·2025
Why and when do people draw upon religious and supernatural solutions to problems? Cognitive scientists and anthropologists have proposed a range of answers, stressing religion and ritual’s capacity to alleviate anxiety, create a sense of order, or explain otherwise inexplicable events. Here, we leverage a unique dataset of 3,655 folk cures for 35 diseases, collected in 1937/8 from a mostly rural Irish sample born roughly between 1850 and 1925. Since the diseases vary in theory-relevant ways and the cures vary in the degree to which they include religious and supernatural elements, this dataset facilitates a unique test of these predictions in a premodern western population. In preregistered tests, we find that diseases judged by two doctors to have causes and mechanisms that would be unclear to the patients were more likely to have supernatural/religious treatments. Contra common predictions, severe and disabling diseases did not have more supernatural/religious cures and anxiety-provoking diseases did not have more ritualistic cures.
