Citations in the corpus

• Don't be satisfied, identify! Strengthening positive spillover by connecting pro-environmental behaviors to an “environmentalist” label (2016, background): “Since the term “environmentalist” can hold negative connotations (Bashir et al. 2013; Corbett, 2006), the political-leaning of the sample may also be important in terms of how people respond to labeling.”
• “Green to be seen” and “brown to keep down”: Visibility moderates the effect of identity on pro-environmental behavior (2017, background): “Attitudes about environmentalists can be measured explicitly (Bashir et al., 2013) or implicitly, for example based on a reactiontime task (Brick & Lai, 2017).”
