Jaewon Yoon’s research while affiliated with Harvard Medical School and other places

... Instead, students reported that earning a bonus point for meeting a deadline, an automatic short-term extension, or a long-term extension would be the most helpful. They also reported that it would be helpful to have extensions available, even if they have to ask for them, though, as Levitin (2019) and Whillans et al. (2022) have noted, not all students feel comfortable asking for an extension, so including these flexible deadlines also supports equity in the classroom (CAST, 2024). Although students report a preference for not imposing a penalty for late assignments, Korpusik et al. (2022) reported that students demonstrated the worst performance (i.e., grades) when it was available for a lab assignment, so future research should examine this possible downside of flexible deadlines in college students. ...

Student Perceptions of Flexible Deadlines

... In contrast, as the main people responsible for their children's education (Cui et al., 2019), Chinese mothers must not only account for their child's current needs but also plan far ahead. Therefore, sensitive mothers (Whillans et al., 2021) keenly capture their children's strong need for autonomy and independence and appropriately decrease their homework involvement. At the same time, as the amount of homework increases at this stage (Hong et al., 2009), Chinese mothers, who are deeply influenced by the philosophy of guan (i.e., "to love" and "to govern") (Ng & Wei, 2020) and their worth based on children's academic performance (i.e., my child is my report card) (Ng et al., 2014), inevitably see homework involvement as an important way to plan for far-reaching consequences in the child's academic development. ...

... We also controlled for both leader team tenure (in months) because time supports the development of interpersonal relationships. Feedback can be received differently when it comes from familiar individuals (Blunden et al., 2019). The age of the feedback-giver can also influence the effectiveness of feedback, as age has been associated with differences in communication patterns (Wang, Burlacu, Truxillo, James, & Yao, 2015), so we controlled for leader age (seven-point scale ranging from "18-24" to "75 and older"). ...

... For example, team members tend to underestimate how much their teammates like them, which can lead these metaperceivers to misguidedly avoid asking those teammates for help [6]. Furthermore, workers think that asking for a deadline extension will make them seem incompetent in their supervisors' eyes [7]. What they fail to appreciate is that supervisors tend to see such requests as positive signals of motivation. ...
