The original Fresh Start Effect authors' 2021 workplace-savings field experiment deploys the effect through an employer but keeps its mechanism and unit of analysis on the individual employee

The 2025 'fresh start mindset' workplace study treats the mindset as an individual-differences trait of the employee, not a team- or firm-level construct

The 2024 Journal of Business Ethics fresh-start study extends the effect to a new behavioral domain (consumer environmental donation) but keeps the unit of analysis on the individual consumer

The neural-net→'deep learning' rebrand can be read as a field-scale Fresh Start Effect — dissociation from a stigmatized past self — though the collective-scale extension is unestablished

'Deep learning' as a field-scale Fresh Start Effect: the rebrand that dissociated AI from its perceptron-stigmatized past self
