• More than a feeling: A unified view of stress measurement for population science (2018, background): “Importantly, these psychological states have been linked to distinct affective, motivational, neuroendocrine, autonomic, and behavioral responses – with threat appraisals being associated with more maladaptive/harmful reactivity patterns (Blascovich and Mendes, 2000; Jamieson et al., 2017).”
• Mental fatigue influence on effort-related cardiovascular response: difficulty effects and extension across cognitive performance domains (2007, background): “1 Two additional questions in this experiment and in Experiment 2 asked participants to indicate the degree to which they felt challenged and threatened by task B (Blascovich and Mendes 2000; Blascovich et al. 2000; Blascovich and Tomaka 1996).”
• Challenge and Threat During Social Interactions With White and Black Men (2002, background): “Social psychologists (e.g., Blascovich & Mendes, 2000; Blascovich & Tomaka, 1996; Quigley, Feldman Barrett, & Weinstein, in press; Tomaka et al., 1993) have framed challenge and threat as motivational states that result from evaluations of situational and task demands relative to personal resources…”
• A General Theory of Organizational Stigma (2009, unknown): “…we propose that the threat a stigmatized organization presents motivates stakeholders to protect themselves through flight (physical or psychological distancing), fight (e.g., aggression and retaliation), or both (Blascovich & Mendes 1999; Blascovich, Mendes, Hunter, Lickel, & Kowai-Bell 2001).”
• Acute stressors and cortisol responses: a theoretical integration and synthesis of laboratory research. (2004, background): “…provide conditions in which these core attributes are vulnerable, because they are active performance tasks that require or demand overt or cognitive responses and have the potential for evaluation (e.g., mental arithmetic, speech task; Blascovich & Mendes, 2000; Blascovich & Tomaka, 1996).”
• How Does Perceived Support Lead to Better Performance? An Examination of Potential Mechanisms (2009, background): “Blascovich and Mendes (2000) highlighted that before and during performance an individual’s original appraisal can be continuously modified.”
• A path analysis of stress appraisals, emotions, coping, and performance satisfaction among athletes (2012, background): “Challenge was associated with perceived controllability and threat appraisals were associated with the athletes having a lack of control, which is in agreement with Blascovich and Mendes (2000) and Lazarus (1999).”
• The social psychology of stigma. (2005, background): “Although originally theorized to result from cognitive processing, appraisals also can result from affective (i.e., feeling) processing instigated by well-learned affective cues (e.g., a Ku Klux Klan emblem; Blascovich & Mendes 2000).”
• The threat vs. challenge of car parking for women: How self- and group affirmation affect cardiovascular responses (2011, background): “Threat vs. Challenge The biopsychosocial (BPS) model (Blascovich, 2008; Blascovich & Mendes, 2000; Blascovich & Tomaka, 1996) has been a guiding framework for research examining the cardiovascular correlates of social identity threat (Blascovich et al., 2001; Scheepers, 2009; Vick et al., 2008).”
• When the social self is threatened: shame, physiology, and health. (2004, background): “…HPA system does not appear to be activated indiscriminately in response to all negative stimuli; instead, stress-induced elevations in cortisol may be linked to the eliciting conditions or specific characteristics of the stressor (Blascovich & Mendes, 2000; Dickerson & Kemeny, 2004; Mason, 1968).”
• The Effects of Threat Type and Duration on Public Relations Practitioner's Cognitive, Affective, and Conative Responses in Crisis Situations (2007, background): “Although psychological research demonstrated that affective cues influence the experience of threat (Blascovich & Mendes, 2000), it is only recently that public relations researchers called for greater attention to the construct of emotion or affective factors in public relations from the…”
• Positive emotion in sport performance: current status and future directions (2011, methodology): “The TCTSA emerged from the biopsychosocial model of challenge and threat (Blascovich & Mendes, 2000; Blascovich & Tomaka, 1996), the model of adaptive approaches to competition (Skinner & Brewer, 2004) and related approaches to understand how athletes perceive forthcoming competitions.”
• Are Emotions Natural Kinds? (2006, unknown): “The vascular patterns that differentiate anger and fear also distinguish between threat and challenge appraisals (e.g., Blascovich & Mendes, 2000; Men-des, Reis, Seery, & Blascovich, 2003; Tomaka et al., 1993, 1997).”
• The effect of gender stereotype activation on challenge and threat motivational states (2008, unknown): “The biopsychosocial model stipulates that the ratio of evaluated resources to demands determines whether an individual will be challenged or threatened during performance (e.g., Blascovich & Mendes, 2000).”
