• Content and process priming: A review ☆ (2014, unknown): “Sassenberg and Moskowitz (2005) show how a " think different " prime can interfere with automatic stereotype activation (though this could be goal priming).”
• Being of two minds: Switching mindsets exhausts self-regulatory resources (2011, background): “The mindset construct has been invoked to explain phenomena as diverse as goal pursuit (Gollwitzer, 1990), inference making (Fiedler, Schenck, Watling, & Menges, 2005), interpersonal relationships (Gagne & Lydon, 2001), stereotyping (Sassenberg & Moskowitz, 2005), and fairness (Van Den Bos, 2002).”
• The Functional Theory of Counterfactual Thinking (2008, background): “…processing style, whereas the prevention focus associated with subtractive counterfactuals elicits a more local processing style, then further differentiation in performance effects might occur (Förster, Friedman, Özelsel, & Denzler, 2006; Förster & Higgins, 2005; Sassenberg & Moskowitz, 2005).”
• How Dual-Identity Processes Foster Creativity (2014, background): “Although this type of thinking provides efficiency in information processing (Macrae, Milne, & Bodenhausen, 1994), it can, at the same time, stifle the range of ideas that one has access to at any one time (Gocłowska, Crisp & Labuchagne, 2013; Sassenberg & Moskowitz, 2005; S. M. Smith et al., 1993).”
• Implications of Counterfactual Structure for Creative Generation and Analytical Problem Solving (2007, background): “Similarly, having people describe three times when they had behaved creatively prevents stereotypes and associations in general from becoming automatically activated ( Sassenberg & Moskowitz, 2005 ).”
