Notes on Cultures of Violence, Cultures of Caring and Peace, and the Fulfillment of Basic Human Needs (2003, background): “…in thinking about the self—at least a type of it in which people use many dimensions in describing the self but without necessarily integrating these dimensions—buffers to some degree reactions to stress, but it does not contribute to positive mood and well-being (Rafaeli-Mor & Steinberg, 2002).”
The social psychology of responses to trauma: social identity pathways associated with divergent traumatic responses (2019, background): “Rather, it would appear that the construction of the self and, in particular, a complex sense of self (i.e., one that incorporates multiple self-aspects; Linville, 1987; Rafaeli-Mor & Steinberg, 2002) is implicated in positive responses to traumatic experiences.”
Bicultural identity integration (BII): components and psychosocial antecedents. (2005, unknown): “In addition, given the ongoing controversy over the benefits and costs of identity complexity (Rafaeli-Mor & Steinberg, 2002), future research should examine BII in relation to other well-known structural models of self-concept and identity structure, such as those proposed by Linville (1987),…”
Measuring identity multiplicity and intersectionality: Hierarchical Classes Analysis (HICLAS) of sexual, racial, and gender identities (2008, unknown): “These possibilities may help to explain why the empirical literature on self-complexity since Linville's research is in fact characterized by heterogeneous findings and strong debate over the relationship of complexity to mental health (see, eg, Koch & Sheppard, 2004 ; Rafaeli-Mor & Steinberg, 200”
The psychology of emotion regulation: An integrative review (2009, background): “Individuals who possess relatively differentiated knowledge of self and emotion indeed display more efficient emotion regulation, both in childhood (Diamond & Aspinwall, 2003 ) and adulthood (Barrett, Gross, Conner, & Benvenuto, 2001; Linville, 1985 , 1987 ; Rafaeli-Mor & Steinberg, 2002 ).”
Moral Maturation and Moral Conation: A Capacity Approach to Explaining Moral Thought and Action (2011, background): “For example, Rest and colleagues (1999) made extensive contributions to the literature on moral psychology by developing their four-component model.”
Self-Complexity and the Authenticity of Self-Aspects: Effects on Well Being and Resilience to Stressful Events. (2005, methodology): “Consistent with Rafaeli-Mor and Steinberg (2002), selfcomplexity, as a main effect, was either unrelated or negatively related to adjustment.”
Branding the destination versus the place: The effects of brand complexity and identification for residents and visitors (2017, background): “The so-called spill-over effects, that is a negative event concerning one aspect taints an identity as a whole (Linville, 1985, 1987; Rafaeli-Mor & Steinberg, 2002), can be reduced when the overlap between aspects of an identity is perceived to be low.”
Culture, identity consistency, and subjective well-being. (2002, background): “Also, even though the ideas proposed by self-complexity theory are rich and very interesting, empirically, they are not strongly supported ( Rafaeli-Mor & Steinberg, 2002 ).”
Effects of Salient Multiple Identities on Women's Performance Under Mathematics Stereotype Threat (2005, background): “This buffering effect of thinking about the self along many versus few dimensions has been supported in numerous studies, but only when the event in question is perceived as self-relevant and genuinely stressful, not just a minor hassle (Rafaeli-Mor & Steinberg, 2002).”
