The Psychology of Radicalization and Deradicalization: How Significance Quest Impacts Violent Extremism (2014, background): “Psychological theorists have long realized that this quest constitutes a major, universal, human motivation variously labeled as the need for esteem, achievement, meaning, competence, control, and so on (Deci & Ryan, 2000; Fiske, 2010; Frankl, 2000; Higgins, 2012; Maslow, 1943; White, 1959).”
The Making of Violent Extremists (2018, background): “The need for significance encapsulates other needs that have been identified as definitive of the human condition, including the desires to gain respect, competence, esteem, and meaning in life (Deci & Ryan, 2000; Fiske, 2010; Frankl, 2000; George & Park, 2016; Higgins, 2012; Maslow, 1943; Martela &”
Cognitive Consistency Theory in Social Psychology: A Paradigm Reconsidered (2018, background): “The present claim that all human motives (rather only those related to one’s self concept) are subject to inconsistency/consistency effects could be conjoined with the notion (cf. Higgins, 1987, 2012) that different motives give rise to different affective reactions.”
Empathy: a motivated account. (2014, background): “Affective motives, however, extend beyond pursuing pleasure and avoiding pain (Higgins, 2011).”
L2 SELVES, EMOTIONS, AND MOTIVATED BEHAVIORS (2016, methodology): “…take an “eagerness” strategy to approach a match between their current self and their desired endstates, whereas L2 learners with a predominant prevention-focused system adopt “vigilance” as a strategy to avoid a match between their current self and their undesired end-states (Higgins, 2011).”
The Role of Metamotivational Monitoring in Motivation Regulation (2018, background): “…can be induced in college participants (e.g., having students reflect on their ideals or responsibilities; see Molden & Rosenzweig, 2016; Scholer & Higgins, 2012); thus, there appear to be unique sets of regulatory strategies (Criterion 2) that students could use to enhance the promotion or…”
The good of boredom (2018, neutral): “For example, locomotion is conceptually distinct from promotion (Higgins, 2012; Kruglanski, 2016), implementation (Gollwitzer 1990; Scholer & Higgins 2012), and action orientation (Kuhl 1985).”
Why Do People Regulate Their Emotions? A Taxonomy of Motives in Emotion Regulation (2016, background): “Specifically, people are inherently motivated to feel good, to perform well, to know, to relate, and to be autonomous (e.g., Deci & Ryan, 1991; Erikson, 1959; Fiske, 2003; Forbes, 2011; Higgins, 2014; Maslow, 1943; McClelland, 1951; McDougall, 1908; H. A. Murray, 1938).”
Tales from the Dark Side: Privacy Dark Strategies and Privacy Dark Patterns (2016, background): “, safety and security needs, concerns about physical well-being, the need for self-esteem, and the need to belong to significant others [23].”
Language Learning Motivation as a Complex Dynamic System: A Global Perspective of Truth, Control, and Value (2020, background): “In these individual–environment interactions, there is a relatively unique local adaptation that occurs as children in these cases, Higgins (2014) argued, experience this choice as self-determined and as “our choice” rather than “their choice.””
