The Role of Gender Identities and Stereotype Salience With the Academic Performance of Male and Female College Athletes (2009, background): “Whereas there is some debate over the mechanisms by which affirmations reduce defensiveness (Simon et al., 1995; Stone & Cooper, 2001), the ability to reflect on positive self-attributes may provide a buffer against the threat imposed by the salience of negative stereotypes in a performance context.”
When learning is not enough: A process model of expatriate adjustment as cultural cognitive dissonance reduction (2009, background): “Stone and Cooper (2001) also proposed that self-esteem implies higher self-expectations with personal standards.”
Experimental manipulations of self-affirmation: A systematic review (2006, background): “Conversely, Stone and Cooper ( 2003 ) tested the Self-Standards Model of cognitive dissonance (Stone & Cooper, 2001 ) and found support for self-esteem as a moderator of the association between salient positive personal attributes and attitude change following a discrepant act.”

I'm a hypocrite, but so is everyone else: Group support and the reduction of cognitive dissonance (2003, background): “Festinger’s (1957) dissonance theory is enjoying a resurgence of interest (e.g., HarmonJones & Mills, 1999; Stone & Cooper, 2001) that pivots around the role of self in dissonance arousal (see also Aronson, Fried, & Stone, 1991; Cooper 1999a, 1999b; Dickerson, Thibodeau, Aronson, & Miller, 1992;…”
Self-Forgiveness and Restoration of an Offender Following an Interpersonal Transgression (2013, background): “Humans have a need to see themselves as people of relative integrity who are trustworthy and consistent (Festinger, 1957; Higgins, 1987; Pratto & Glasford, 2008; Stone, 2001).”
When Leaders Fail to “Walk the Talk” (2015, background): “Extant research has demonstrated that people feel discomfort when salient group members are deemed hypocrites (McKimmie, Terry, Hogg, Manstead, Spears, & Doosje, 2003; Stone & Cooper, 2001).”
The Psychology of Self‐defense: Self‐Affirmation Theory (2006, background): “A third theory, the self‐standards model of cognitive dissonance (Stone & Cooper, 2001) proposes that people, at times, use self‐esteem as a resource (as in Steele et al., 1993).”
Emotional Reactions to a Seemingly Prejudiced Response: The Role of Automatically Activated Racial Attitudes and Motivation to Control Prejudiced Reactions (2001, unknown): “Such a possibility is very consistent with recent theorizing about dissonance processes by Stone and Cooper (2000), who have proposed that the dissonance may assume somewhat different forms as a function of the standard by which the behavior is judged (see also Stone, 1999; Stone, Wiegand, Cooper,…”

A Review of Cognitive Dissonance Theory in Management Research (2017, background): “Though they did not mention the self-standards model of dissonance (Stone & Cooper, 2001), their discussion of occupational norms and selfconcept is consistent with this approach.”
Hypocrisy, dissonance and the self-regulation processes that improve health (2011, background): “For example, in the self-standards model of dissonance (Stone & Cooper, 2001), the nature of dissonance processes depends on the types of self-attributes and standards that people use to interpret a discrepant act.”
