Conscience without cognition: The effects of subconscious priming on ethical behavior (2014, background): “Implicit association refers to the relationship between underlying knowledge structures and associated external stimuli (Reynolds, 2006) and, unlike explicit beliefs, can be subconsciously triggered merely through exposure to related stimuli (Bargh, 2006).”
Behavioral Consistency and Inconsistency in the Resolution of Goal Conflict (2009, background): “This has led to a call for models that can address issues of concurrent goal activation, dynamic goal pursuit, goal conflict management, and goal system evolution in a nonconscious processing system (Bargh 2006).”
A cultural task analysis of implicit independence: comparing North America, Western Europe, and East Asia. (2009, neutral): “…that has attracted considerable research attention in recent years as an explanation of cultural differences in psychological processes highlights the notion of knowledge activation (Oyserman & Lee, 2007, 2008; for reviews, see also, e.g., Bargh, 2006; Bargh & Chartrand, 2000; Higgins, 1996).”
Differences in Attitudes Toward Outgroups in Religious and Nonreligious Contexts in a Multinational Sample: A Situational Context Priming Study (2012, background): “Psychologists of religion, as well as almost any scientist persuing priming methods in social psychology, are guilty of “running where we don’t know yet how to walk” and missing the possibility of examining how religious concept activation might function in daily life (Bargh, 2006, p. 148).”
Avatar characteristics induce users’ behavioral conformity with small-to-medium effect sizes: a meta-analysis of the proteus effect (2019, methodology): “According to the automaticity model, individuals are primed to engage in cognitive or behavioral responses based on their perception of these associations, often without consciousness of or intention to engage in them (Bargh, 2006).”
Nonconscious influences of religion on prosociality: A priming study (2007, background): “Over the last 25 years scholars in psychology have shown that priming social norms, goals, emotions, and stereotypes can nonconsciously guide subsequent responses and behaviors (Bargh, 2006; Dijksterhuis & Bargh, 2001).”
Directed Attention as a Common Resource for Executive Functioning and Self-Regulation (2010, background): “To further complicate matters, each individual dimension does not exist in an all-or-nothing fashion (Bargh, 2006a, 2006b; Moors & De Houwer, 2006).”
Social Identity and Inequality: The Impact of China's Hukou System (2015, positive): “To introduce an exogenous variation in identity salience we adopt a methodology from psychology called priming (Bargh, 2006).”
Social Identity Salience: Effects on Identity-Based Brand Choices of Hispanic Consumers (2010, background): “Priming research over the last 25 years has produced some ubiquitous effects that raise several second-generation research questions such as: Can priming effects be controlled? How do primes produce different effects? Which one “wins” when dueling constructs are activated (Bargh, 2006)? These second”
Do Green Products Make Us Better People? (2010, neutral): “First, we explore the relationship between priming as “mere exposure” and other more deliberative processes (Bargh, 2006).”
When the Same Prime Leads to Different Effects (2007, background): “Understanding these types of “second generation” moderation effects is important for both theoretical and practical reasons (Bargh 2006).”
Hostility Toward Men and the Perceived Stability of Male Dominance (2010, background): “Thus, Jost and Kay may have elicited a more implicit priming effect that bypassed explicit awareness of any relationship between the prime and the dependent variable (Bargh, 2006).”
