APPROACH OR AVOIDANCE (OR BOTH?): INTEGRATING CORE SELF‐EVALUATIONS WITHIN AN APPROACH/AVOIDANCE FRAMEWORK (2011, methodology): “Based on previous work (Elliot & Thrash, 2002), we examined whether CSE is best characterized as a form of approach or avoidance temperament (or both) by examining its relation with established indicators of approach/avoidance temperaments and approach/avoidance motivation constructs.”
Integrating Theories of Motivation (2006, background): “Elliot and Thrash (2002), as well as Carver, Sutton, and Scheier (2000), review a confluence of findings from a variety of motivational formulations that supports its existence.”

Inspiration as a psychological construct. (2003, methodology): “Inspiration was also expected to be positively related to Extraversion but unrelated to Neuroticism, given evidence that the core of these traits represent approach and avoidance dispositions, respectively (Elliot & Thrash, 2002; Lucas, Diener, Grob, Suh, & Shao, 2000).”
How Happiness Affects Choice (2011, positive): “Because emotions serve to guide reactions to the environment so as to appropriately inform behavior (Elliot and Thrash 2002), it is perhaps not surprising that emotions are linked to time.”

The Strategic Use of Gain- and Loss-Framed Messages to Promote Healthy Behavior: How Theory Can Inform Practice (2006, background): “Using a range of measures , investigators have shown that people differ in the extent to which they think about their daily experiences in terms of the presence and absence of favorable outcomes or unfavorable outcomes (Carver & White, 1994; Elliot & Thrash, 2002; Higgins, 1998, 1999).”
