Seeing the new Star Wars? Be careful what you wish for

Study surveyed people before and after they saw The Last Jedi

Newswise — COLUMBUS, Ohio – How much you enjoy the new

Star Wars

movie will depend a lot on your expectations going in, a new study suggests.

Researchers surveyed 441 people before and after they saw the last episode in the popular franchise,

Star Wars VIII: The Last Jedi

, released in 2017. They wanted to see how audiences’ expectations affected their actual enjoyment of the movie.

The findings suggest that it is probably best not to go into

Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker

thinking you’re really going to love it or really going to hate it, said

James Alex Bonus

, co-author of the study and assistant professor of

communication at The Ohio State University

As you might expect, people who had the highest expectations for

The Last Jedi

but were disappointed in the movie had the lowest enjoyment of anyone taking the survey.

But what was most interesting, Bonus said, were people who expected very little from the movie but ended up feeling intensely happy after seeing the film. Their overall enjoyment was lower than those who felt similarly joyful but who went into the movie with higher expectations.

“It wasn’t really helping people to go in with those low expectations,” Bonus said.

“The negative bias going in dragged them down and even if they were pleasantly surprised by the movie, they still didn’t like it as much as other people did.”

The study was published online this month in the

Journal of Media Psychology

The results show how much our expectations can influence our enjoyment of a movie, particularly one in a franchise like

Star Wars

, where audiences have a history with the characters or storyline.

“It becomes a lot less about what is in the movie and a lot more about what you expected it to be,” Bonus said.

In this study, online participants recruited through Amazon Mechanical Turk were interviewed three weeks before the release of

The Last Jedi

in 2017. They were asked to rate on a 7-point scale how happy, sad and nostalgic they thought the film would make them feel.

Three weeks later, those who had seen the movie were asked how happy, sad and nostalgic seeing the movie had made them feel. They also rated their enjoyment and appreciation of the movie.

Results showed that many people weren’t very accurate at predicting how they would react to seeing

The Last Jedi

, Bonus said. That goes along with other research that shows people are bad at predicting how various experiences will make them feel.

In this study, about 55 percent of participants did not accurately predict how the movie would make them feel. Most of them didn’t get their prediction entirely wrong, such as saying the movie would make them happy when it didn’t.

But many were off in the strength of their feelings, predicting, for example, the movie would make them very happy when it made them only somewhat happy.

“We are really bad at predicting how future events will make us feel,” Bonus said.

One other interesting fact from the study: People who in the first survey expected that

The Last Jedi

would make them feel nostalgic were more likely to have seen the movie when re-interviewed three weeks later. Expectations about how happy they would feel did not predict viewing behavior.

“That shows the important role nostalgia plays for audiences of established franchises like Star Wars,” Bonus said.

Study co-authors were Nicholas Matthews, a visiting assistant professor of communication at Ohio State, and Tim Wulf, a postdoctoral researcher at LMU Munich in Germany.

3 Most Useful Apps You Can Use From Anywhere

(Gloucestercitynews.net)(January 3, 2020)–The advent of the internet has turned the world into an interconnected mesh of network where it is becoming more and more easier to perform daily tasks in any part of the world without needing to be physically present. With each passing year, humans are relying on their

computers and mobiles

to do most tasks for them, and we have been incorporating certain apps and software in our daily lives so that we can do important work from anywhere.

Just as communication has gotten stronger, the need to perform tasks in a timely manner has become much more vital. Sometimes a person needs some time to relax from the hectic work routine and may go for a vacation. But, work doesn’t stop for anybody, and you aren’t any special. So, to make sure that your work doesn’t get disrupted, here are 3 apps that might come in very handy for you if you don’t have access to your personal laptop.

TeamViewer

The number one app that comes in my mind to ease your job when you don’t have access to your laptop is Teamviewer. It is a free consumer app that you can use from anywhere in the world if you have an internet connection. With the help of this app, you can take control of your own laptop and do any task that you want to. You don’t have to worry about the security as the app is super secure with its

256 bit AES encryption

that is basically impossible to crack. All you have to do is install the software on the host computer and on the computer you want to control. By putting in the password that is generated in real-time, you can take control of the screen of the other computer.

SodaPDF

If one thing has revolutionized how we conduct business, PDF has rightly earned its name. It is the one true king when it comes to filing formats, and you are going to need an app or software to view your business documents or memos. With the help of

SodaPDF

, which can be used online from a web browser, you can easily view, edit, annotate, sign, and manage your PDF files from anywhere in the world. You can also download the desktop app for free and conduct your business in your free time.

Google Assistant

With the help of google assistant, you can easily transcribe your thoughts and get answers to your questions. When you are out of a vacation, or you are stuck between lots of work, this app is a blessing for you as you can easily schedule meetings, send messages, make calls, and even make reservations without even touching your mobile. With its voice recognition feature, you can simply tap on the app and ask it to perform a task you want to. You can also queue up your tasks and get the latest news related to your industry by simply asking the assistant a question.

Nothing is going to change for women until women demand change

So…in 2020, DEMAND CHANGE. Support women running!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE — CHICAGO – 1/2/2020 — Formulating New Year’s Eve resolutions for 2020?

RUN

, a new independently produced TV show, has a suggestion for the feminists in the room: support women running for office using a “squad” mentality that defends, supports and amplifies women during their run!

RUN

has already transformed the campaign of one woman, Bushra Amiwala, who won her race for school board in IL in 2019 by a narrow margin with the team’s help. The format of the show includes five female experts in campaign strategy, PR, tech, activism and comedy that empower scrappy, novice, passionate female political candidates to run. The team has already gathered an audience of 30k followers and is currently in talks with networks to land the show. The show’s trailer and info can be found at

www.runtheseries.com

“Nothing is going to change for women until women demand change as a group,” states Genevieve Thiers, producer and tech trainer of

RUN

. “We are the supermajority. But we’ve faced so many challenges for equality in our own lives that we very rarely support each other, monetarily or otherwise.” Thiers has one suggestion for reversing this thinking. “It’s 2020. Try something new. Reverse course and throw your support and voice behind as many women who share your views and are running as you possibly can.” Thiers has put her money where her mouth is on this front. A mother of twins who founded tech company

Sittercity.com

and has funded over 15 women in tech companies and supported over 50 women in politics, she is a force for women worldwide.

The RUN team has five specific suggestions for how best to help women running.

Support her with talent.

If you have an area of expertise….be it campaign, fundraising, tech, content creation, social media, field work, legal….reach out to her team right away and ask if there are gaps you can fill in the campaign office while she runs.

Support her with money.

Not all of us have to max out in donations. Even $1000 makes a huge difference to a woman running. The very best thing you can do is a home event, where you invite neighbors, friends and family and set a goal to raise x dollars for the candidate and her team.

Defend her.

If news comes out that seems suspect, in today’s era of false news it very well might be false. Women are also especially prone to attacks on their looks, their voices and any emotion they show. Use your voice on social media to call out anything blatantly unfair and urge friends to, too.

Amplify her.

In the same way, if the women you are supporting have policy changes, messaging or news that they are trying to distribute, send it across your social networks and send bulk emails. This is easy and will do wonders for her viral reach.

Zig when others Zag.

At first, your strategy of supporting women might be met with raise eyebrows, especially from boomer women, who unfortunately had it the worst when it came to competitiveness. Don’t try to talk these women over to your side. Just loudly and consistently support women and you will see it rub off fast into their own behaviors as well.

“It is so important for women to be a part of the political process” states the show’s PR expert Mary Simms, an army veteran and mother of twins based out of California. So this year, get out there this year and help women RUN.

RUN the Series

RUN is a new series produced by Ana Breton, Victoria Elena Nones and Genevieve Thiers. The show helps women running for office win via training and help from five female experts in Campaign Strategy, PR, Tech, Activism, and Comedy called “The Boss Squad.” In each episode of RUN, a different woman\’s campaign is transformed from striving to thriving. Filmed in the heart of Chicago and the surrounding suburbs, RUN’s pilot episode follows 21-year-old muslim candidate Bushra Amiwala in her race for School Board in Skokie, IL. (Spoiler alert—she wins!). The show aims to inspire, educate, and empower an audience of women and girls to get out and knock doors, become a donor, take the leap to run for political office and build squads around each other to win.

How to Plan a Christian Wedding Ceremony

(Gloucestercitynews.net)(January 2, 2019)–There are

2.4 million weddings each year

in the United States. If you\’re engaged, congratulations! Now it\’s time to start planning.

Planning your wedding can be quite a challenge. It\’s important to remember what\’s important to you in order to keep your priorities straight. If you want a Christian-focused wedding, remember to keep it at the forefront of your planning.

Looking to have the perfect Christian wedding ceremony? We\’re here to help. Here are our tips for planning a Christian wedding.

Marriage Preparation Courses

There are several courses offered by churches around the country. It\’s a great way to prepare for the trials of marriage. It will also present a chance to find out more about your future spouse.

Start counseling early and meet often. They\’ll offer you a nice reprieve to talk with your spouse about something other than the wedding.

Choose the Right Venue

The venue is an important part of any Christian wedding ceremony. And it doesn\’t necessarily have to be at a church to be Christian.

There are plenty of

venue options

outside of the traditional church setting. The most important part is making your vows before God in a location you love with the people that you love.

Don\’t Focus Solely on Yourself

Your wedding is a day for not just you and your future spouse. It is also an event joining your two families together. Find a way to involve the family members you love at the wedding.

While those around you will want to serve you, consider serving them as Christ has served you. Get to know your vendors, and bring gifts to those that help you. Be sure to talk with your friends about what\’s going on in their lives, not just about the wedding.

Plan Your Service

Planning your service is worth thought and preparation. Consider what songs and verses are important to you and representative of your relationship.

Here are the important parts of your service.

Processional and Wedding March

: First the grandparents and parents are seated. Then the minister and groom enter, followed by the wedding party. Finally, the bride enters escorted by her father.

Call to Worship and Opening Prayer

: These are opening remarks asking your guests to take part with you in worship. The opening prayer gives thanks and calls for God\’s blessing upon the service.

Giving Away the Bride and Worship Song:

This important part of the ceremony includes your families. Then a song or hymn is played which should be used as an expression of worship.

The Charge and Pledge:

The charge given by the minister reminds the couple of their marriage duties and roles. The pledge is the famous \”I do\” part of the ceremony.

Wedding Vows and Ring Exchange:

The couple promises publicly and before God to help each other grow. The rings are a promise to remain faithful to one another.

Unity Candle:

This symbolizes the union of the couple\’s hearts and lives together.

Communion:

Many couples choose to take communion as their first act in their marriage.

Pronouncement and Closing Prayer:

Here, the minister declares the couple as married. The closing prayer offers a blessing from the congregation.

Recessional:

First the couple leaves, presented as Mr. and Mrs. for the first time. Then the wedding party exists in the reverse order that they entered the ceremony.

Now You\’re Ready for a Christian Wedding Ceremony

Now you know how to plan the perfect Christian wedding ceremony. With these tips, you\’ll be able to focus on what really matters during your big day. For more lifestyle news and commentary, bookmark CNBNews.
