- Possible selves and academic outcomes: How and when possible selves impel action. (2006, methodology): “The set of expected and feared APSs and strategies was coded using a 6-point scale (0 no APSs to 5 at least 4 APSs and APS strategies) (Oyserman et al., 2004).”
- Future orientation in times of threat and challenge: How resilient adolescents construct their future (2008, background): “The prospective life course domains are task-oriented and self-guiding, and positively associated with self regulation (Oyserman et al., 2004) and emotional health (Seginer, 2005).”
- SO far away: ThE rOlE Of SubjECTivE TEmpOral DiSTaNCE TO fuTurE GOalS iN mOTivaTiON aND bEhaviOr (2009, background): “Future goals and, more specifically, possible selves have long been thought to motivate people’s current actions (Austin & Vancouver, 1996; Elliot et al., 2005; Gollwitzer & Moskowitz, 1996; Markus & Nurius, 1986; Oyserman et al., 2006; Oyserman et al., 2004; Ruvolo & Markus, 1992; Taylor et al., 19”
- Engineering Students' Perceptions of Problem Solving and Their Future (2018, background): “Establishing balanced possible selves, which is correlated to increased positive behavioral strategies for learning such as goal setting, elaboration and regulation of present tasks (Markus & Nurius, 1986), is more effective motivationally than unbalanced possible selves (Oyserman, 2004; Oyserman, B”
- A motivational hierarchy within: primacy of the individual self, relational self, or collective self? (2012, background): “Such goals and ideals act as incentives escalating people through the future toward their aspirations and away from unwanted pitfalls (Oyserman et al., 2004).”
- The Context-Sensitive Future Self: Possible Selves Motivate in Context, Not Otherwise (2015, background): “Having balanced future identities predicts less subsequent delinquent involvement (Oyserman & Markus, 1990; Oyserman & Saltz, 1993), better grades, and more regular school attendance up to two years after initial assessment (Oyserman et al., 2004; Oyserman, Terry, & Bybee, 2002).”
- An integrative theory of desistance from sex offending (2012, background): “Possible selves provide self-regulatory potential, because they can preserve positive affect, maintain behavioral focus, and can guide an individual towards a future goal, especially when connected with specific behavioral strategies (Oyserman et al., 2004).”
- The Possible Selves of Diverse Adolescents: Content and Function Across Gender, Race and National Origin (2006, background): “Academic or school-related possible selves predict positive change in grades (controlling for previous grades) even among low income African American middle school students when the possible selves are linked with strategies (Oyserman et al., 2004).”
