    "Jean M Twenge Ph.D" discusses how research presented in Adam Conover's YouTube video "Millennials Don't Exist" was misrepresented and how she and Adam were later able to discuss their differing viewpoints rather than bash each other on social media as many would have.

    These two articles are great. She linked to another article in there "How do we know the millennial generation exists? Look at the data" that made me appreciate more how they study generational differences- they compare the results of surveys given to 18 year olds of different years. That does sound like a much more powerful way to measure generational differences. One of the examples was the change in opinion of same sex marriages between 18 year olds in 1976 and today, which made a giant leap in approval. I'm curious what a survey of those now 61 year olds feel about the same topic- if their approval also raised, while it would show a generational difference of opinion at a certain age, it might show a closer agreement between generations on certain topics in the here and now. I wonder how those 18 year olds in 1976 compared to people 43 years older then them, too! I liked her final optimistic take on discussing differing viewpoints. At the same time, I don't necessarily agree with her that all speakers (certainly some of the ones who were banned from speaking at universities) should be given a platform. While discussion is always good, it needs to be honest and faithful; I don't believe that some people are interested in discussion, they just want to win and prove themselves right.

    I wish more people could debate that way! I agree that not everyone wants to discuss- some just want to argue and be heard!

    Thanks for sharing! Twenge has had to defend a lot of her literature on generational studies. I read her iGen book before and the criticism she's received on that topic as well. Very interesting!

    This is a very informative blog post that examines the difference between collections and curations. Admittedly, I have never given the subject too much thought, but the author explains it in a way that highlights concepts that differentiate the two. Some notable points made are that curations involve deeper critical thinking skills, they can be defined as "purposeful collections" and subjective based on the understanding of the curator.

    I have been thinking about collection versus curation in our readings this week. Your article made me think about a discussion we have at home. My husband is a collector and he talks often about how museums only show, curate certain pieces. He often comments that he hesitates to donate to a museum because it could be such that the pieces are never shown or are sold. I think this ties into the subjective nature.

  • Specifically, reputation-based reward satisfies crowdworkers' need for status improvement (Ye and Kankanhalli, 2017); recognition-based reward meets their need for positive recognition and attention (Leimeister et al., 2009) and feedback-based reward enables them to acquire concrete information about the quality and value of their submission (Feng et al., 2018).
  • Specifically, hedonic reward highlights the importance of providing enjoyable participation experiences (Rockmann and Ballinger, 2017; Ye and Kankanhalli, 2017); and eudaimonic reward emphasizes the necessity to promote crowdworkers' tendency to employ crowdsourcing community for psychologically worthwhile experiences (Mekler and Hornbæk, 2016).
  • There are four types of contextual extrinsic motivations in the online crowdsourcing community: monetary reward, reputation-based reward, recognition-based reward and feedback-based reward.

  • There are two types of contextual intrinsic motivations in the online crowdsourcing community: hedonic reward and eudaimonic reward. Hedonic reward refers to the pleasures and enjoyment of engaging in the online crowdsourcing community (Deng and Joshi, 2016).
  • Eudaimonic reward refers to the crowdworkers' need for achieving self-determination value and fulfilling their life pursuit in the online crowdsourcing community (Ryan et al., 2008).

    In their study, Wei and Xiang (2021) examine how motivation sustains participation in an online sourcing community. After reading Zhao and Zhu's (2014) work, I explored this topic further as they recommended it for future research. Overall, their work revealed that both intrinsic and extrinsic motivation were critical. External motivators included improved reputation, recognition, and feedback, whereas internal motivators related to emotional feelings of happiness and pleasure.
