WHAT impact does winning an Oscar have on an individual's social status and his response to a suddenly elevated profile?
The glamour and red carpet smiles of the Hollywood awards season is what most of us see splashed across television screens and magazines. But there are also long-running rumours of a darker side - an "Oscar curse" - that winning a golden statue can bring unintended negative consequences such as divorce and a dip in one's career.
A new research paper co-authored by Heeyon Kim of the National University of Singapore Business School has taken a scientific look at the reality behind these rumours and raises some interesting insights for more everyday workplaces, far from the glitz of Hollywood - in particular, the status change that occurs when actors win or receive nominations for an Academy Award.
