Locomotion, Assessment, and Regulatory Fit: Value Transfer from 'How' to 'What' (2003, background): “…and assessment as chronic individual orientations are relatively independent functional dimensions of selfregulatory activities, that both can contribute to selfregulatory success, and that each relates to distinct motivational emphases (see Higgins et al., 2003; Kruglanski et al., 2000).”
Leadership style and regulatory mode: Value from fit? (2006, methodology): “People high in assessment critically evaluate diVerent states or entities, such as goals and the means to pursue them, in relation to alternatives ( Higgins et al., 2003; Kruglanski et al., 2000).”
The good of boredom (2018, unknown): “Through self-regulatory processes one becomes aware of such a discrepancy and utilizes the needed resources in order to achieve the desired state (Carver & Scheier 1990; Higgins et al., 2003; Kruglanski et al., 2000; Kuhl, 1985).”
Regulatory mode effects on counterfactual thinking and regret (2008, background): “Some situations or activities might naturally induce a stronger locomotion orientation, such as exercising, whereas others situations might naturally induce a stronger assessment orientation, such as reading a newspaper (Higgins et al, 2003).”
Group-based self-regulation: The effects of regulatory focus (2008, background): “An additional development in this family of theories is the regulatory fit hypothesis (Higgins, 2000 ), suggesting that the overall hedonic intensity of events, behaviours, and objects depends on the phenomenological fit (ie, the conscious or unconscious experience of fit) between a specific event ”
Language Learning Motivation as a Complex Dynamic System: A Global Perspective of Truth, Control, and Value (2020, background): “His regulatory mode theory (Higgins, Kruglanski, & Pierro, 2003) focuses on the truth (also called the assessment orientation ) and control (also called the locomotion orientation ) dimensions of individuals’ motivation.”
Disruptions in Women's Self-Promotion: The Backlash Avoidance Model 1 (2010, methodology): “The coefficient alphas for these indexes were similar to those found in prior research (ranging from α = .76 to .86); additionally, test-retest reliability for both scales has been acceptable (mean r = .75; Higgins et al., 2003).”
The Motivating-Uncertainty Effect: Uncertainty Increases Resource Investment in the Process of Reward Pursuit (2015, unknown): “The focus on the outcome elicits a deliberative mind-set in which instrumental and affect-poor aspects are central to the evaluation of actions (Gollwitzer 2012; Heckhausen 1987; Higgins, Kruglanski, and Pierro 2003; Hsee and Rottenstreich 2004).”
How Regulatory Fit Affects Value in Consumer Choices and Opinions (2006, background): “…either a locomotion orientation, which constitutes the aspect of self-regulation that is concerned with movement from state to state, or an assessment orientation, which constitutes the aspect of self-regulation that is concerned with making comparisons (Higgins, Kruglanski, and Pierro 2003).”
