The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Turnout as a Habit (2011, background): “Yet the meaning of habit and automaticity in psychology is broad, and some forms of automaticity do not depend on goals and emotions (Bargh 1994; Moors and De Houwer 2006 ).”
Theories of emotion causation: A review (2009, background): “As argued by Bargh (eg, 1989; see also Moors & De Houwer, 2006a , 2006b ) automaticity has to do with the conditions under which a process is able to operate.”
I, me, mine: Automatic attentional capture by self-related stimuli (2012, background): “Again, to do so, we investigated the most relevant features of automaticity for our purpose, namely, (un)intentionality, (un)consciousness, and (un)controllability (Moors & De Houwer, 2006).”
The effects of emotion on attention: A review of attentional processing of emotional information (2010, background): “The meaning of the term ‘‘automatic’’ has itself been the subject of debate (see Moors & DeHouwer, 2006, for the latest analysis; also Santangelo & Spence, 2008).”
Directed Attention as a Common Resource for Executive Functioning and Self-Regulation (2010, background): “To further complicate matters, each individual dimension does not exist in an all-or-nothing fashion (Bargh, 2006a, 2006b; Moors & De Houwer, 2006).”
