• The More Enthusiastic, the Better? Unveiling a Negative Pathway From Entrepreneurs’ Displayed Enthusiasm to Funders’ Funding Intentions

  Entrepreneurship Theory and Practice · 2022-05-06 · 23 citations

  articleSenior author

  Displaying enthusiasm (an emotional manifestation of passion) is a common practice for entrepreneurs to attract crowdfunding. However, we propose that funders may attribute an entrepreneur’s displayed enthusiasm to impression management motives, which can in turn reduce their funding intentions. Moreover, this negative pathway is more likely to occur when the entrepreneur is perceived to have lower domain expertise. We found consistent support for these hypotheses from a survey and an experiment. Our findings suggest that displaying enthusiasm may not always be effective for entrepreneurs because there are both positive and negative pathways underlying the influence of displayed enthusiasm on funders.

• Trachyonychia Secondary to Acitretin Usage

  Cureus · 2020-01-19 · 3 citations

  articleOpen access

  Trachyonychia is a disease of the nail matrix that most commonly presents with sandpaper-like roughness of the nails. Retinoids are known to cause several nail abnormalities, likely due to their anti-proliferative effects. Despite this, no cases have been previously reported on the association of acitretin (second-generation retinoid) with trachyonychia. We present a single case of trachyonychia associated with acitretin that subsided following medication cessation.
