Within-individual variability in self-concepts and personality states: Applying density distribution and situation-behavior approaches across cultures (2013, background): “More recently, however, within-individual variability has featured prominently in efforts to synthesize alternative perspectives in the person-situation debate (Fleeson & Noftle, 2008; Fournier, Moskowitz, & Zuroff, 2008; Mischel & Shoda, 1998).”
Wise Reasoning in the Face of Everyday Life Challenges (2016, background): “The distinction between stable and situationally variable perspectives on wisdom has a parallel in the person–situation debate in psychology (Fleeson & Noftle, 2008).”

Differences and Similarities between Impulse Buying and Variety Seeking: A Personality‐based Perspective (2016, background): “The evidence indicates that personality rarely predicts any isolated behavioral act; rather, personality explains or predicts trends, typical ways of acting, and behavior over time (Ajzen, 2005; Fleeson & Noftle, 2009).”

The maturing of gamification research (2017, background): “Future work in gamification research would do well to look at recent attempts of integrating these two factors (Fleeson & Noftle, 2008).”
Virtuous states and virtuous traits: How the empirical evidence regarding the existence of broad traits saves virtue ethics from the situationist critique (2014, background): “An important recognition is that there is not only one type of consistency, but rather that there are multiple types of consistency (Fleeson and Noftle, 2008a).”
Principles of Situation Research: Towards a Better Understanding of Psychological Situations (2015, background): “Not surprisingly, research emphasizing situations as ‘objective forces’ has often tried to ascertain the superiority of situation factors over person(ality) factors in explaining behaviour (Fleeson & Noftle, 2008; Kenrick & Funder, 1988; Ross & Nisbett, 1991).”
Personal and situational influences on the functions of music listening (2018, background): “Future research of both sides (i.e., research investigating situational or person-related influences on music listening behavior) will strongly benefit from intertwining both research approaches (for an overview and detailed suggestions, see Fleeson & Noftle, 2008).”
Agreement and Similarity in Self-Other Perceptions of Moral Character (2013, background): “This does not mean, however, that we should relegate the study of moral personality characteristics to the back-burner, nor does it mean that situations have a stronger impact on behavior than does personality (Fleeson, 2001; Fleeson & Noftle, 2008).”
