• From Synchronizing to Harmonizing: The Process of Authenticating Multiple Work Identities (2018, background): “Prior research has shown that people often shape their self-presentation to meet the needs of their audience (e.g., Swann, Bosson, and Pelham, 2002; Swann, 2011).”
• What Is the Function of Confirmation Bias? (2020, background): “ For several studies found that SFPs of trait ascriptions occurred only when ascribers were certain of the ascriptions, not when they were less confident (Swann and Ely 1984; Pelham and Swann 1994; Swann 2012: 30).”
• Identity work in organizations and occupations: Definitions, theories, and pathways forward (2018, background): “IT, in contrast, highlights the need for self-verification: individuals' need for others to see them as they see themselves (Swann, 2012).”
• Toward understanding understanding : The importance of feeling understood in relationships (2017, unknown): “To be sure, the extensive body of empirical research supporting self ‐ verification theory buttresses our belief in the importance of feeling understood (see Swann, 2012, for a review).”
