Silenced by fear:: The nature, sources, and consequences of fear at work (2009, background): “…decisions’’ (Lerner & Tiedens, 2006: 119), employee reconsideration of speaking up will likely be repeatedly shaped by fear’s naturally pessimistic and cautious lens, which emphasizes and exaggerates the risks of speaking up (e.g., Lerner & Keltner, 2001; Maner & Gerend, 2007; Maner et al., 2005).”
The influence of affect on higher level cognition: A review of research on interpretation, judgement, decision making and reasoning (2010, methodology): “Using laboratory tasks and self-reports, anxious individuals show more risk-averse behaviours than non-anxious individuals (Maner & Gerend, 2007 ).”
Trust: An Integrative Review from a Person–Situation Perspective (2015, unknown): “…1987; Lorian & Grisham, 2010; Maner & Schmidt, 2006; Maner et al., 2007; Wray & Stone, 2005) and dispositional fear (Lerner & Keltner, 2001; Maner & Gerend, 2007) as well as with anxietyand fear-related basic traits (Glöckner & Hilbig, 2012; Lauriola & Levin, 2001; Lee, Ogunfowora, &…”
Epistemic curiosity and self-regulation (2015, result): “Although if something expected to be interesting turned out to be dull, this could lead to disappointment (Loewenstein, 1994), the extant theory and research on I-type EC all point to its association with optimistic expectancies about discovery (Maner & Gerend, 2007).”
The Effect of Perceived Value in the Decision to Participate in Study Abroad Programs (2008, background): “Intuitively, this flows with previous research in that a person’s high propensity for risk leads them to do things that may often be considered ‘‘out of the box’’ by others especially if the risky situation is positively viewed (Maner & Gerend, 2007).”
