I'm Not Mad, I'm Just Disappointed: Validating the Maternal Sigh as a Quantifiable Unit of Psychological Damage (1 milli-Mom)
Park ET, Adeyemi RI.
Annals of Applied Guilt. 2026;14(1):1-19.
One sigh accompanying 'I'm not mad, just disappointed' was calibrated to 1.00 mMom. A phone call at 4.2 mMom produced cortisol equivalent to a job interview. The dose–response curve became markedly nonlinear above the phrase 'after everything I've done for you.'
