• Retrospective recall of affect in clinically depressed individuals and controls (2009, background): “…Burgess, Rice, & Laulhere, 2001), cognitive styles (McFarland & Buehler 1998), individual differences (Safer & Keuler, 2002), attributions (Levine & Safer, 2002), accessibility of contextual information (Robinson & Clore, 2002), and particular parameters of the affective experience…”
• Functions of remembering and misremembering emotion (2009, unknown): “As explicit memories are forgotten, people increasingly draw on current interpretations of prior events and goals to help them infer how they must have felt (Levine & Safer, 2002).”
• Emotion and Memory Research: A Grumpy Overview (2004, background): “Because emotional memories are informed by current appraisals of the emotion-eliciting situation, rather than being perfectly faithful to the past, they may serve as a superior guide for future behavior (Levine & Safer, 2002).”
• The making of Darth Vader: Parent–child care and the Dark Triad. (2014, background): “Fourth, our assessment of the quality of parental care was ‘‘recalled’’ and could be subject to memory biases (Levine & Safer, 2002).”
• Pleasure principles: A review of research on hedonic consumption (2013, background): “For example, consumers may form an on-line assessment but later reconstruct it in a context that includes subsequent information, behaviors, and feelings (Braun, 1999; Cowley, 2007; Levine & Safer, 2002).”
• Weighing the Costs of Disaster (2010, background): “It is well-established that people’s memories for past emotional states, including psychological symptoms, depend in part on how they are functioning at the time of recall (Levine & Safer, 2002; Levine, Whalen, Henker, & Jamner, 2005).”
• The development of the Awe Experience Scale (AWE-S): A multifactorial measure for a complex emotion (2018, methodology): “…studies have found this method worthwhile (e.g., Schurtz et al., 2012; Shiota et al., 2007), questions remain about the validity of this technique, particularly due to the constructive qualities of memory for emotion recall (Kaplan, Levine, Lench, & Safer, 2016; Levine, 1997; Levine & Safer, 2002).”
• Openness to experience and awe in response to nature and music: Personality and profound aesthetic experiences. (2015, background): “Laboratory studies that manipulate what people are exposed to and then measure feelings in the moment can avoid the theories of how emotions work and the ease of retrieving emotional events (e.g., Innes-Ker & Niedenthal, 2002; Levine & Safer, 2002).”
