• The Meaning of My Feelings Depends on Who I Am: Work-Related Identifications Shape Emotion Effects in Organizations (2017, background): “Anger, guilt, and pride also have responses pertinent to organizational exit (Carver & Harmon-Jones, 2009; Kitayama et al., 2006; Schmader & Lickel, 2006; Shaver et al., 1987).”
• Reinforcement Sensitivity Theory of Personality Questionnaires: Structural survey with recommendations (2016, background): “…clear enough: variations in fight (in its defensive and instrumental, but not specifically psychopathically predatory, forms) covary with variations in the BAS (the details of this are discussed elsewhere: Corr, 2013; Corr & Cooper, 2015; see also Carver & Harmon-Jones, 2009; Harmon-Jones, 2003).”
• Moral disengagement of hotel guest negative WOM: moral identity centrality, moral awareness, and anger. (2014, background): “Anger has the attribute of „approach‟ motivation (Carver & Harmon-Jones, 2009; Harmon-Jones, Schmeichel, Mennitt & HarmonJones, 2011).”
• Anxious Uncertainty and Reactive Approach Motivation (RAM) for Religious, Idealistic, and Lifestyle Extremes (2013, background): “Responses to achievement, relationship, and mortality threats are also often hostile, and anger is closely tied to approach motivation (Carver & Harmon-Jones, 2009).”
• Anger and Prosocial Behavior (2014, background): “Of course, the experience of anger is characterized by a negative valence (Solomon & Stone, 2002), but this is because it signals that the concern for equity is threatened or violated, and that action is needed (Carver & Harmon-Jones, 2009).”
• The positive effect of negative emotions in protracted conflict: The case of anger (2011, background): “Anger has also been shown to be an approach-related emotion, making people eager to act (Carver & Harmon-Jones, 2009; Davidson, Jackson, & Kalin, 2000; Harmon-Jones & Sigelman, 2001; Mackie et al., 2000).”
• Approach–Avoidance Motivation and Emotion: Convergence and Divergence (2013, background): “This has led to a call to consider motivational direction and emotional valence as separate dimensions in conceptualizing discrete emotions (Carver & Harmon-Jones, 2009; Harmon-Jones & Sigelman, 2001).”
• Emotional Mechanisms Linking Incivility at Work to Aggression and Withdrawal at Home: An Experience-Sampling Study (2018, background): “…were chosen following recent research on emotion that suggests that not all negative emotional states are synonymous with the behavioral inhibition system (Gray, 1990; Watson, 2009); instead, these items reflect emotional states characteristic of the approach system (Carver & Harmon-Jones, 2009).”
