• Expanding, Reducing, Concentrating and Diffusing: Post Retirement Leisure Behavior and Life Satisfaction (2007, methodology): “The Selective Optimization with Compensation model (SOC), suggested by Baltes and colleagues (Baltes & Baltes, 1990; Baltes & Carstensen, 1996; Freund & Baltes, 1998, 2002), was applied to successful aging.”
• The nomological network of self-management strategies and career success (2008, background): “Previous research showed that general self-management, especially optimization of goalpursuit strategies (Abraham & Hansson, 1995; Freund & Baltes, 1998, 2002; Wiese et al., 2000, 2002), as well as specific career planning (Aryee & Debrah, 1993; Gould, 1979; Steffy & Jones, 1988; Wayne, et al.…”
• A lifespan perspective on job design: Fitting the job and the worker to promote job satisfaction, engagement, and performance (2012, background): “Measures associated with particular lifespan development approaches (e.g., measures of SOC; Freund & Baltes, 2002; measures associated with SES such as future time perspective or FTP; Cate & John, 2007; Zacher & Frese, 2009) should be incorporated into future research.”
• A Motivational Theory of Life-Span Development (2010, background): “Action-oriented approaches, including our own, view the individual as an active producer of his or her own development (Brandtstädter, 1998; Freund & Baltes, 2002b; J. Heckhausen, 1999; Lerner & Busch-Rossnagel, 1981).”
• Refining Research on Older Adults' Leisure: Implications of Selection, Optimization, and Compensation and Socioemotional Selectivity Theories (2007, methodology): “…but has been primarily applied to various domains of health including: disability adjustment and life management (Gignac, Cott, & Badley, 2002; Freund & Baltes, 1998; 2002; Ryan, Anas, Beamer, & Bajorek, 2003); social relationships (Lang 8c Carstensen, 1994); and cognition (Li, Lindenberger,…”
• The Study of Character Development: Towards Tests of a Relational Developmental Systems Model (2015, background): “…functioning to optimize opportunities for successfully attaining goals, or in compensating effectively when strategies fail or goals are blocked [e.g., Baltes, Lindenberger, & Staudinger, 2006; Brandtstädter, 1998; Freund & Baltes, 2002; Gestsdóttir & Lerner, 2008; Mascolo & Fischer, 2010, 2015].”
• Social and Emotional Learning in Adolescence: Testing the CASEL Model in a Normative Sample (2018, methodology): “The items used to create this measure were derived from the Selection, Optimization, and Compensation scale (SOC; Freund & Baltes, 2002), Target-Based Expectations Scale (TBES; Buchanan & Hughes, 2004), Search Institute’s Profiles of Student Life: Attitudes and Behaviors scale (PSL-AB; Benson,…”
• Positive Youth Development, Participation in Community Youth Development Programs, and Community Contributions of Fifth-Grade Adolescents (2005, methodology): “Freund and Baltes (2002) report that SOC has good convergent and divergent associations with other psychological constructs (e.g., goal pursuit, thinking styles) and positive correlations with measures of well-being (Brandtstädter & Renner, 1990; Freund & Baltes, 2002).”
• In support of innovation theory: innovation in activity patterns and life satisfaction among recently retired individuals (2008, methodology): “The ‘selective optimisation with compensation’ model (SOC) was proposed by Baltes and colleagues as a prerequisite for ‘ successful ageing’ (Baltes and Baltes 1990; Baltes and Carstensen 1996; Freund and Baltes 2002).”
