Looking into the Future: A Match between Self-View and Temporal Distance (2013, background): “And when asked to think why they would like to attain a goal (a high-level construal) as opposed to how they would attain the goal (a low-level construal), participants estimated a later start date of working toward the goal, presumably because they thought of the outcome as occurring in the more di”
The X-factor: On the relevance of implicit leadership and followership theories for leader–member exchange agreement (2009, positive): “, Kim & Organ, 1982; Liden et al., 1993; Maslyn & Uhl-Bien, 2001; and similar results in other domains of leadership research such as self-sacrificial leadership, e.g., Choi & MaiDalton, 1999; de Cremer & van Knippenberg, 2004). The more the other party is perceived to contribute, the more satisfied”
Further Than the Eye Can See: Psychological Distance and Perception of Environmental Threats (2015, background): “…which constitute a common denominator of most definitions of threat perception, to three of the dimensions of psychological distance specified by Liberman et al. (2007)—the social, temporal, and hypotheticality dimensions of distance—to show how they interlock as “psychological distance” and…”
Unstuck from the concrete: Carryover effects of abstract mindsets in intertemporal preferences (2010, background): “Recent work in this literature has demonstrated the generality of this effect by showing that evoking general higher construal levels leads to similar effects as people psychologically distancing themselves from the event or the object (Freitas et al., 2004; Liberman et al., 2007).”
The Psychological Distance of Climate Change (2012, background): “So, for example, asking participants to focus on low-level “how” details of an activity rather than high-level “why” information leads participants to think about the activity as taking place at more distant points in time.(24) In addition, evidence from neuropsychological research has demonstrated ”
The Creative Process (2005, neutral): “For Sternberg and Lubart (1995), creativity involves more than a sum of all these components: certain constituents can partially compensate each other.”
Construal-Level Theory of Psychological Distance (2010, result): “Similar results have been found for other distance dimensions, including hypotheticality and social distance (e.g., Liviatan et al., 2008; Todorov, Goren, & Trope, 2007; see review by Liberman et al., 2007).”
How social norms are often a barrier to addressing climate change but can be part of the solution (2020, background): “Perceiving a problem as immediate and concrete can impel people to act, as it can reduce procrastination (Liberman et al., 2007; McCrea et al., 2008), provide a sense of urgency in response to threats (Chandran & Menon, 2004) and help people focus on concrete goals (Liberman & Trope, 1998) – each…”
Carryover Effects of Self-Control on Decision Making: A Construal-Level Perspective (2011, background): “Existing research has shown that proximity leads to concerns about feasibility (Liberman and Trope 1998) and that thinking about feasibility of a future outcome leads to perceptions of proximity (Liberman et al. 2007).”
