Possible links between self-awareness and inner speech: Theoretical background, underlying mechanisms, and empirical evidence (2004, background): “It should be noted that people can engage in dysfunctional self-talk, distort or deny self-information, and thus misrepresent their self-concept for self-enhancing purposes (Sedikides and Gregg, 2004).”

A Self-Motives Perspective on Feedback-Seeking Behavior: Linking Organizational Behavior and Social Psychology Research (2007, background): “…that this issue is also heavily debated in social psychology, we believe it is up to future empirical research to examine which motive is dominant in the long-term and whether there is indeed a dominant motive (for a detailed debate of this issue, see Sedikides and Gregg 2003; Swann et al. 2002).”
Social psychology of exercise and sport (2005, background): “While this may be true, there is evidence to suggest that high levels of self-esteem could be accompanied by maladaptive outcomes and behaviours (Sedikides and Gregg 2003).”

Entrepreneurs' Social Skills and New Venture Performance: Mediating Mechanisms and Cultural Generality (2009, background): “That is, the range and quality of the relationships entrepreneurs form with other persons strongly influences their access to crucial forms of information (e.g., Sedikides & Gregg, 2003; Singh, 2000).”
Leadership, self, and identity: A review and research agenda (2004, background): “In addition, the self evolves from interaction with others, and functions as a regulator of these social interactions (e.g., Lord & Brown, 2004; Sedikides & Gregg, 2003).”
Trait and State Authenticity Across Cultures (2014, background): “Given that SDT needs and self-esteem are universally important for well-being (Church et al., 2012; Sedikides & Gregg, 2003, 2008), that the satisfaction of many additional needs correlates with authenticity, and that these various psychological needs are not independent of one another (Heppner et…”
When Is Identity Congruent with the Self? A Self-Determination Theory Perspective (2011, background): “Research typically found correlations around 0.30 between intrinsic goal striving and autonomous regulation and between extrinsic goal striving and controlled regulation ( Sebire, Standage, & Vansteenkiste, 2008, 2009; Sheldon & Kasser, 1995; Sheldon, Ryan, Deci, & Kasser, 2004).”
