• Construal-Level Theory of Psychological Distance (2010, unknown): “More recently, research has examined dispositional inferences from near future and distant future behavior (Nussbaum, Trope, & Liberman, 2003, Study 1) and from spatially close or spatially distant behavior (Henderson, Fujita, et al., 2006, Study 2).”
• Lessons from a Faraway land: The effect of spatial distance on creative cognition (2009, unknown): “…2008, Isen et al., 1987, Murray et al., 1990) 内発的・外発的報酬[intrinsic/extrinsic rewards]( see Amabile, 1996, for a review) 制御焦点[regulatory focus](Friedman & Förster, 2001) 身体の屈曲と進展[bodily cues](Friedman & Förster, 2000, 2002) 時間的距離の操作[temporal distance] (Förster et al., 2004) …”
• Why Feasibility Matters More to Gift Receivers than to Givers: A Construal-Level Approach to Gift Giving (2014, result): “Similar results have been found for other dimensions of psychological distance, including spatial distance (Fujita et al. 2006a), hypotheticality (Todorov, Goren, and Trope 2007; Wakslak et al. 2006), and social distance (Liviatan, Trope, and Liberman 2008).”
• The Role of Victim Beliefs in the Israeli–Palestinian Conflict: Risk or Potential for Peace? (2009, background): “” Construal level theory predicts that such abstract, higher level construals generally become more likely with spatial , temporal , or other forms of psychological distance (Fujita, Henderson, Eng, Trope, & Liberman, 2006 ; Trope & Lieberman, 2003 ).”
• Effects of multiple psychological distances on construal and consumer evaluation: A field study of online reviews (2016, methodology): “The Linguistic Categorization Model (LCM) is a five-level classification scheme that distinguishes between linguistic terms to measure the abstractness of content (Coenen, Hedebouw, & Semin, 2006; Semin & Fiedler, 1991).”
• Effects of the Physical Environment on Cognitive Load and Learning: Towards a New Model of Cognitive Load (2014, background): “…is empirical evidence that people tend to use a more abstract mental representation strategy when judging, perceiving, and recognizing distal objects or events; proximal objects or events, in turn, are represented by more concrete mental representations (Bar-Anan et al. 2006; Fujita et al. 2006).”
