• The perception of workload and task complexity and its influence on students’ approaches to learning: a study in higher education (2010, methodology): “Research has identified a main effect of subjective task complexity on performance (Mangos & Steele-Johnson 2001).”
• The potential role of mindsets in unleashing employee engagement (2015, unknown): “…conceptualized as a dispositional trait (e.g., Bell & Kozlowski, 2002; VandeWalle, 1997), a quasi-trait (e.g., Button, Mathieu, & Zajac, 1996; Mangos & Steele-Johnson, 2001), achievement goals (e.g., Harackiewicz, Barron, Tauer, & Elliot; Karabenick & Collins-Eaglin, 1997), mental frameworks…”
• A motivated action theory account of goal orientation. (2005, background): “In short, the lack of consistency in the measurement of goal orientation makes it unclear what the measures of goal orientation actually assess, and the impact of these differences on the comparability of results across research studies is highly uncertain.”
