Changing circumstances, disrupting habits. (2005, methodology): “In support, Aarts and Dijksterhuis (2000) reported that habitual bicyclers responded faster in a word recognition task to action-related words (e.g., bicycle) only when the relevant goals had been primed (e.g., go to class) and not in the absence of those goals.1 Thus, goals can activate represent”
Implementation intentions and goal achievement: A meta-analysis of effects and processes (2006, background): “Automaticity commonly characterizes highly overlearned activities (e.g., driving a car, typing) including the operation of habits (Aarts & Dijksterhuis, 2000a,b; Sheeran et al., 2005a; Wood et al., 2002).”
Beyond priming effects: The role of positive affect and discrepancies in implicit processes of motivation and goal pursuit (2005, background): “…structures including the context, the goal itself, and actions as well as opportunities that may aid goal pursuit, which evolve by experience (Aarts & Dijksterhuis, 2000a; Aarts, Dijksterhuis, & Dik, in press; Bargh & Gollwitzer, 1994; Kruglanski, Shah, Fishbach, Friedman, Chun, &…”
Creativity at the Knowledge Frontier: The Impact of Specialization in Fast- and Slow-paced Domains* (2018, background): “Specialization in a domain can therefore lead to the formation of habitual behaviors rooted in one’s knowledge structure (Aarts, Verplanken, and van Knippenberg, 1998; Aarts and Dijksterhuis, 2000; Audia and Goncalo, 2007; Murray and Häubl, 2007; Chai, 2017).”
Automatic emotion regulation during anger provocation (2007, background): “Recent research suggests that social norms can be implicitly activated by social and situational cues encountered in everyday life, and aVect individuals’ behavior without the norm entering their awareness (Aarts & Dijksterhuis, 2000, 2003; Fitzsimons & Bargh, 2004).”
Nonconscious motivations: Their activation, operation, and consequences. (2002, background): “First, the Aarts and Dijksterhuis (2000) studies discussed above showed that habitual plans of action were automatically activated only for individuals who were first primed with the relevant goal.”
Food quality and safety: consumer perception and demand (2005, background): “Also, many food buying decisions may not involve a lot of conscious thought at all, but may be guided by a strong component of automatic, unconscious information processing (Grunert, 1996; Aarts and Dijksterhuis, 2000; Ajzen and Fishbein, 2000; Adaval and Monroe, 2002).”
A new look at habits and the habit-goal interface. (2007, methodology): “In contrast to our model, habits sometimes have been defined as a form of goal-dependent automaticity (e.g., Aarts & Dijksterhuis, 2000; Verplanken & Aarts, 1999).”
Self-efficacy Feelings Moderate Implementation Intention Effects (2010, background): “The behaviors specified in an implementation intention are also initiated immediately once the critical situational cue is actually encountered (e.g., Aarts & Dijksterhuis, 2000; Gollwitzer & Brandstätter, 1997, Study 3; Lengfelder & Gollwitzer, 2001, Study 2).”
Habits—A Repeat Performance (2006, background): “In support, Aarts and Dijksterhuis (2000) found in several experiments that the automatic activation of habitual responses (e.”
Health and goal-directed behavior: The nonconscious regulation and motivation of goals and their pursuit (2007, background): “…to be part of knowledge structures including the context, the goal itself, and actions as well as opportunities that may aid goal pursuit, and these are shaped by direct experience and other types of learning (Aarts & Dijksterhuis, 2000a, 2003; Bargh & Gollwitzer, 1994; Kruglanski et al., 2002).”
Empowering interventions to promote sustainable lifestyles: Testing the habit discontinuity hypothesis in a field experiment (2016, neutral): “Habits are thus highly automatised behaviours (e.g., Aarts & Dijksterhuis, 2000; Verplanken & Orbell, 2003), or patterns of behaviour (e.g., Kurz, Gardner, Verplanken, & Abraham, 2015; Roy, Verplanken, & Griffin, 2015).”
Automatic emotion regulation (2005, background): “In developing this measure, we reasoned that the automatic goal of regulating emotion might be associated with an implicit positive evaluation of emotion regulation (cf. Aarts & Dijksterhuis, 2000; Custers & Aarts, 2005).”
Goal Priming and the Affective-Motivational Route to Nonconscious Goal Pursuit (2008, background): “…of knowledge structures stored in memory that are shaped by one's history, including the context, the goal itself, actions as well as opportunities and objects that may aid goal pursuit (Aarts & Dijksterhuis, 2000a; Aarts & Dijksterhuis, 2003; Bargh & Gollwitzer, 1994; Kruglanski et al., 2002).”
The Implications of Research on Expertise for Curriculum and Pedagogy (2007, background): “For example, Aarts and Dijksterhuis (2000) primed habitual bicycle riders with information about the locations to which they typically traveled.”
