The prediction markets Super Bowl: This year’s big game could be their biggest yet
Economics professor Koleman Strumpf noted there is a lot of uncertainty swirling around the future of the exchanges. They could, Strumpf said, still face legal, regulatory, and even potentially “societal” pushback. Some of that pushback has already materialized, such as legislation proposing state-level restrictions on what prediction markets can offer. "I'm very curious to see where we'll be sitting a year from now," Strumpf said. “It could be these things are bigger, or they could be on their way down.”

Do virtues like being compassionate increase your well-being?
Virtues such as compassion, patience and self-control may be beneficial not only for others but also for oneself, according to new research published in the Journal of Personality in December 2025. "One particularly interesting possibility is that there might be a 'virtuous cycle': Perhaps virtue tends to promote well-being, and well-being, in turn, tends to promote virtue. If so, it would be extremely valuable to learn how to help people kick-start that cycle," writes Wake Forest University Research and Assessment Scholar Michael Prinzing.

Prediction markets bet on regulatory uncertainty
Prediction markets are betting their future on ongoing regulatory uncertainty. While the event-based trading platforms are now gaining Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) approval, their future relies heavily on state-level approaches to sports wagering, which are currently unpredictable. “The regulatory environment really matters, and it’s extremely volatile,” said economics professor Koleman Strumpf. “Two years ago, the CFTC was openly hostile to these markets; now it appears far more accepting — that could easily change again.”

Is the ‘executive functioning’ craze just more work for moms?
As a person with stellar executive functioning skills, I was well-versed in taking on too much—planning the vacations, prioritizing the housework, organizing the calendars. And I took pride in initiating and delegating these tasks, staying emotionally regulated and self-monitoring progress. And according to business professor Julie Wayne, whose research pertains to the invisible family load, that’s not necessarily a bad thing: “The upside is that you’re the leader of the family. If you’re the person organizing and it all goes well, you get to have this overarching sense of fulfillment.”
