• Cognitive appraisal as a mediator in the relationship between stress and burnout (2013, background): “There is a lack of research examining the impact of cognitive appraisal on the relationship between stressful events and burnout, and a number of theoretical proposals regarding this topic lack empirical support (Skinner & Brewer, 2004).”
• A descriptive study of emotional process during competition: Nature, frequency, direction, duration and co-occurrence of discrete emotions (2012, background): “…of identifying the athletes’ perceived beneficial or harmful effects of their emotions on their upcoming performance (i.e., direction) (Jones, 1995; Skinner & Brewer, 2004), to our knowledge, no study investigated the emotions’ direction of all the discrete emotions experienced by athletes during…”
• The relationship between multidimensional competitive anxiety, cognitive threat appraisal, and coping strategies: A multi-sport study (2012, background): “The authors then extended these conclusions to sports, proposing that trait and state threat appraisals were associated with weak coping expectations, which in turn predicted high levels of pre-competitive anxiety (Skinner & Brewer, 2004).”
• Development and Validation of the Sport Emotion Questionnaire (2005, result): “Thus the SEQ is in keeping with recent calls for a greater focus on positive emotions in sport settings (Skinner & Brewer, 2004).”
• The Relationship Between Challenge and Threat States and Performance: A Systematic Review (2019, result): “This contrasts the earlier views of Lazarus and Folkman (1984), and other researchers (e.g., Skinner & Brewer, 2004), who considered CAT as independent cognitive appraisals that can occur simultaneously.”

• Residents’ Cognitive Appraisals, Emotions, and Coping Strategies at Local Dark Tourism Sites (2021, background): “Those who appraise an experience as challenging are more likely to experience positive emotions and more likely to engage in problem-focused coping (Ohly and Fritz 2010; Skinner and Brewer 2004).”
• Positive emotion in sport performance: current status and future directions (2011, methodology): “Low-activation positive emotions include emotions such as happiness and satisfaction and reflect one’s achievement of valued goals and the absence of a need for action (Fredrickson, 1998; Skinner & Brewer, 2004).”
