• Effective regulation of affect: An action control perspective on emotion regulation (2012, background): “…implementation intentions can reduce the impact of affect on outcomes such as stereotyping (Bayer, Gollwitzer, & Achziger, 2010), decision making (Bayer et al., 2010; Kirk, Gollwitzer, & Carnevale, 2011; Sheeran & Webb, 2012; Webb, Sheeran, et al., 2012), action tendencies (Eder, 2011), and work…”
