Development of outstanding leadership: A life narrative approach (2008, background): “The role of exemplar events in the formation of life narratives has been discussed by Korte (1995), McAdams (2001), and Pillemer (1998, 2001).”
Adults' Learning Motivation: Expectancy of Success, Value, and the Role of Affective Memories. (2012, background): “As the effects of affective memories have been conceptualized differently in the literature, that is, direct effects of affective memories on learning motivation (Pillemer, 2001; Schunk et al., 2008) and indirect effects mediated by expectancy and value (Wigfield & Eccles, 2000), we included affecti”
Event System Theory: An Event-Oriented Approach to the Organizational Sciences (2015, background): “…events (Rupp & Paddock, 2010), anchoring events (Ballinger & Rockmann, 2010), embedded organizational events (Peterson, 1998), momentous events (Pillemer, 2001), positive events (Ilies, Keeney, & Scott, 2011), negative events (Lavallee & Campbell, 1995), daily life events (Langston, 1994),…”
The peaks of life: The differential temporal locations of the reminiscence bump across disparate cueing methods (2015, methodology): “The cognitive account represents an attempt to bring standard principles of experimental psychology to account for the bump in autobiographical memory (for delineations of the cognitive account, see Pillemer, 2001; Robinson, 1992; Rubin et al., 1998).”
New Perspectives on Autobiographical Memory: The Integration of Narrative Processing and Autobiographical Reasoning (2001, background): “Pillemer (2001) emphasizes this point when he addresses the question of the organization of personal memories recalled by individuals.”
The Integrative Function of Narrative Processing: Autobiographical Memory, Self-Defining Memories, and the Life Story of Identity (2004, background): “In addition, Pillemer (1998, 2001), Staudinger (2001), and Habermas and Bluck (2000) have all written recently about the functional purposes served by recall of a particular memory.”
Personality and Psychotherapy: Treating the Whole Person (2005, unknown): “More recently, researchers have proposed various systems for linking memory content to important goals, enduring concerns, and unresolved conflicts (Moffitt & Singer, 1994; Pillemer, 2001; Singer & Salovey, 1993; Tomkins, 1987; Woike, 1995; Woike et al., 1999).”
False Memories: What the Hell are They For? (2009, background): “Fortunately, a flexible memory system facilitates the application of directives more broadly—a lesson learnt in one context carrying a certain theme can be integrated into a new episode rather than only applying in one situation (see also Pillemer, 2001).”
A grounded theory of psychological resilience in Olympic champions (2012, background): “Furthermore, although memory decay is an issue with all retrospective research designs, it is worth noting that these fading effects are lessoned regarding “momentous events” (Pillemer, 2001, p. 123), such as winning anOlympic goldmedal.”
