When and why do implicit measures predict behaviour? Empirical evidence for the moderating role of opportunity, motivation, and process reliance (2008, background): “In another study (Custers & Aarts, 2007 , Study 2), half of the participants were subliminally primed (Aarts et al, 2005 ) with the goal state “socialising”.”
Behavioral cues to others’ motivation and goal pursuits: The perception of effort facilitates goal inference and contagion (2007, background): “According to this research, a goal prime directly triggers a motivational state to pursue the goal because the primed goal concept preexists as a desired state in the participants’ mind that they want to accomplish themselves (e.g., Aarts & Hassin, 2005; Bargh et al., 2001; Custers & Aarts, 2007).”
Content and process priming: A review ☆ (2014, unknown): “Priming " be social " encouraged students to work harder to win lottery tickets to a student party (Custers & Aarts, 2007).”
Health and goal-directed behavior: The nonconscious regulation and motivation of goals and their pursuit (2007, background): “For instance, Custers and Aarts ( 2007b ) subliminally primed their participants with the goal of socializing or not.”
The Compensatory Consumer Behavior Model: How self-discrepancies drive consumer behavior (2017, unknown): “Self-discrepancies produce affective, physiological, and cognitive consequences that may give rise to the motivation to engage in consumer behavior to alleviate the self-discrepancy (Carver & Scheier, 1990; Custers & Aarts, 2007; Sela & Shiv, 2009; see Fig.”
Goal Priming and the Affective-Motivational Route to Nonconscious Goal Pursuit (2008, background): “…earning-money) encourage people to exploit new opportunities in novel settings (e.g., engaging in a lottery) without awareness of the operation of the goal, suggesting that goal pursuit is supported by nonconscious monitoring and feedback processing (Aarts et al., 2004; Custers & Aarts, 2007a).”
Behavioral Consistency and Inconsistency in the Resolution of Goal Conflict (2009, background): “Second, the PGG system can disengage from goals, and engage in competing goals, without active deliberation (e.g., Aarts et al. 2007; Custers and Aarts 2007).”
The 2020 Five Domains Model: Including Human–Animal Interactions in Assessments of Animal Welfare (2020, background): “In other words, the exercise of agency involves the cognitive assessment of circumstances in support of animals making mainly conscious choices to behave in particular ways [97,98].”
Multiple goals: A review and derivation of general principles (2014, background): “Some researchers have argued that affective value is the most important factor for prioritization (Custers & Aarts, 2007), although others place GPD (Vancouver et al., 2010) or informational value (Unsworth, Adriasola, JohnstonBillings, Dmitrieva, & Hodkiewicz, 2011) as being most important.”
