• I Think I Can, I Think I Can: Brand Use, Self-Efficacy, and Performance (2014, background): “…use is also affected by holding domain-specific implicit self-theories such as intelligence (Erdley et al. 1997; Robins and Pals 2002), morality (Chiu, Hong, and Dweck 1997; Dweck and Leggett 1988), shyness (Beer 2002), self-control (Mukhopadhyay and Johar 2005), and relationships (Knee 1998).”

• The goal construct in social psychology. (2007, background): “Because resource management is strategic, the extent of decline in goal performance also depends on one’s lay belief that another act of self-regulation is or will be depleting (Mukhopadhyay & Johar, 2005).”
