Skin tone, crime news, and social reality judgments: Priming the stereotype of the dark and dangerous black criminal. (2005, background): “Several researchers have suggested that frequent activation of a stereotype might lead to chronic activation over time, increasing the likelihood of its use in crime-related judgments (e.g., Devine, 1989; Fiske & Taylor, 1991; Higgins, 2000).”
Understanding the search for meaning in life: personality, cognitive style, and the dynamic between seeking and experiencing meaning. (2008, background): “Human beings have a strong desire to understand themselves and the world around them, exhibiting cognitive and behavioral activity in support of such desires (e.g., Epstein, 1985; Heine, Proulx, & Vohs, 2006; Higgins, 2000; Janoff-Bulman, 1992; Ryff & Singer, 1998).”
Self‐regulation and decision heuristics in entrepreneurial opportunity evaluation and exploitation (2007, background): “The combination of related constructs in this way has been called for by leading scholars in the field (Higgins, 2000; Wood, 2005) and is recognised as a valid way to develop new theory in organizational studies (Whetten, 1989).”
Psychological Reactions to Crime News Portrayals of Black Criminals: Understanding the Moderating Roles of Prior News Viewing and Stereotype Endorsement (2006, result): “The most likely explanation for these findings is that they resulted from the priming of the Black criminal stereotype (Bargh et al., 1996; Henderson-King & Nisbett, 1996; Hewstone, 1990; Higgins, 2000; Pettigrew, 1979).”
Regulatory focus theory and the entrepreneurial process (2004, background): “A plan simply ‘‘feels right’’ to a person when there is a fit between his or her own regulatory focus and the plan’s strategic style, such as an eager plan that is presented to a promotion person or a vigilant plan that is presented to a prevention person (see Higgins, 2000). they support it more.”
Self-regulation and moral awareness among entrepreneurs (2009, background): “The combination of related theories in this way has been called for by leading scholars of self-regulation (e.g., Higgins, 2000; Wood, 2005) and is recognised as an appropriate way of developing new theory in organizational studies (Whetten, 1989).”
Priming Crime and Activating Blackness: Understanding the Psychological Impact of the Overrepresentation of Blacks as Lawbreakers on Television News (2007, background): “However, these studies simply provide a contextual ‘‘media’’ replication of the prior work of social cognition researchers who have found that exposure to out-group members activates group-based stereotypes (Bargh, 1999; Devine & Monteith, 1999; Dovidio, Kawakami, Johnson, Johnson, & Howard, 1997; H”
Crime News and Racialized Beliefs: Understanding the Relationship Between Local News Viewing and Perceptions of African Americans and Crime (2008, background): “Scholars have contended that stereotypes are more likely to be used if they have either recently or frequently been activated in the past (Dixon, 2006a, 2006b; Dixon & Maddox, 2005; Fiske & Taylor, 1991; Hamilton, Stroessner, & Driscoll, 1994; Higgins, 2000).”
Learning Process in New Product Development Teams and Effects on Product Success: A Socio-Cognitive Perspective (2006, unknown): “Similarly, studies on group psychology, small group researches, and social psychology emphasize the importance of social cognition for group and organizational learning process (Akgün et al., 2003; Gruenfeld & Hollingshead, 1993; Higgins, 2000).”
Organizational Learning: A Socio-Cognitive Framework (2003, background): “…social cognition: • investigates the cognitive mediators of social interaction to analyze the learning processes of people (Martin & Clark, 1990; Higgins, 2000); and • highlights various important steps of the learning processes based on social domains (e.g. prior attitudes, expectations,…”
Locomotion, Assessment, and Regulatory Fit: Value Transfer from 'How' to 'What' (2003, background): “…have a stronger fit when they use eagerness means than vigilance means to make a choice whereas the reverse is true for people with a prevention orientation, and that a choice is assigned higher monetary value when it is made with stronger regulatory fit (Higgins, 2000; Higgins et al., in press).”
