FROM CUHK: “Playing hard to get” Strategy Works Well on Man Who is Psychologically Committed |
One of the most elusive dating tactics since the beginning of time has to be “playing hard to get”. “Playing hard to get” remains a sought-after strategy many yearn to master in a romantic relationship – as shown by the prevalence of related advice on dating columns or the internet. Xianchi Dai, Associate Professor of Department of Marketing at The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) Business School, together with two coauthors, collaborated in a research to find out the psychology behind and what contribute to the success or failure of “playing hard to get”. Conducted with students from CUHK, the study consists of two experiments, namely a mental simulation and an actual speed-dating study. Both experiments consistently prove that “playing hard to get” can induce stronger motivational responses from evaluators who are already psychologically committed to the player. When there is no psychological commitment, however, “playing hard to get” yields weaker motivational responses than “playing easy to get”. Also, “playing easy to get” always induces more positive affective evaluations of likings, regardless of the degree of prior psychological commitment. Prof. Dai’s research paper was first published on the School’s China Business Knowledge (CBK) website in a feature article titled “Does ‘Playing Hard to Get’ Increase Romantic Attraction?“. The Marketing and Communications Office at CUHK Business School disseminated the article’s English, Chinese and Korean version to more than 12,311 media in China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Korea and over 20 countries in Asia Pacific. It has been widely picked up by the media around the world, with 384 clippings generated so far. The campaign on the research has also successfully drawn attention from the media such as Sohu (PDF), Sina (PDF), Yahoo! (PDF) and more. Prof. Dai’s research is particularly popular among the Hong Kong media. On 17 and 18 May 2018, a wave of media pickups appeared in mainstream local dailies and some online media outlets, including Apple Daily (story 1, 2) (PDF 1, 2), Oriental Daily News (PDF), HK01 (PDF), The Stand News (PDF) and Orange News (PDF), as well as the city’s most influential broadcast media, RTHK’s 31 TV channel in its morning TV programme called “This Morning”(早辰.早晨). In addition, the Taiwan-based 30+ magazine (PDF) also published an article with Prof. Dai’s research quoted. The Hong Kong media stories are in Chinese.

On 23-25 May, over 220 deans, associate deans, faculty and senior administrators from schools across the region gathered in Hong Kong for the AACSB 2018 Annual Accreditation Conference: Asia Pacific.

As Conference Chair, Prof. Kalok Chan, Dean of The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) Business School and Wei Lun Professor of Finance, opened the conference on 24 May with a plenary session on the topic of business education and future jobs. Joining him on stage was Mr. Steve Kwok, CUHK EMBA alumnus and Executive Vice President & Director at CITIC Pacific Ltd. and Mr. Rizwan Masood, Managing Director and Head of Human Resources at Standard Chartered Bank. The senior executives discussed the link between business education and business practice, and how education should evolve to keep up with a changing environment. Presenters also discussed the skills companies will be looking for in the future and how the schools can work with companies together to provide them. The conference served as a good platform to discover the challenges schools in Asia Pacific face regarding accreditation and formulate solutions that will help the accreditation community worldwide. Attendees spent three days networking with peers, connecting with experienced accreditation volunteers, meeting with accreditation staff, and exchanging ideas and best practices with professionals from around the world. ![]() The post AACSB 2018 Annual Accreditation Conference: Asia Pacific Hosted in Hong Kong appeared first on CUHK Business School. |
