Abstract
A new study published in Personality and Individual Differences explains why an obsessive form of passion has come to dominate the workplace, even when it has been proven to have negative and maladaptive outcomes for the individual, Forbes reported Feb. 20. “Obsessively passionate people tend to experience more negative emotions, anxiety, and stress, and generally report lower levels of psychological well‐being,” says lead author Benjamin Schellenberg, a faculty member at the University of Manitoba in Canada. “We wondered why obsessive passion appears to be common in the workplace despite all these negative consequences. We suspected that people believe that, in some types of workplaces, being obsessively passionate is the best way to succeed.” To study this, the researchers conducted a series of studies in which participants imagined themselves in different workplace scenarios such as hiring applicants, applying for a promotion and working for a new supervisor. In all cases, people indicated that obsessive passion, both in themselves and in others, would lead to greater success in workplaces with a “bottom‐line mentality.”

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
