A new study shows different strategies may be effective at motivating people to donate, apart from all that “sadvertising.” The study from Nathan Chan, assistant professor at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, and Casey Wichman, assistant professor at the Georgia Institute of Technology, found that people in good moods are more likely to donate to a charitable cause.
Actor Randall Park is making his feature debut as a director with the upcoming film, "Shortcomings," and spoke with Cheddar News about the movie. Other cast members also joined to talk about the film.
