• The links between self-determined motivations and behavioral automaticity in a variety of real-life behaviors (2017, background): “2009) and since the repetition of a behavior favors automatization and the development of habits (Wood and Rünger 2016), we expected that the repetition of behaviors should mediate the relation between self-determination and behavioral automaticity.”
• Empowering interventions to promote sustainable lifestyles: Testing the habit discontinuity hypothesis in a field experiment (2016, background): “A disruption is a temporary condition, and once a person has settled into the new situation, old habits may easily be re-activated (e.g., Walker et al., 2015; Wood & Rünger, 2016; Wood et al., 2005).”
• Habit slips: when consumers unintentionally resist new products (2017, background): “As habits gain strength, perception of the context cue automatically brings to mind the associated response (Neal et al. 2012; Wood and Rünger 2016).”
• Habits and the electronic herd: The psychology behind social media’s successes and failures (2020, background): “On experiencing rewards, neural systems release dopamine that helps to form habit associations between contexts and responses (Wood & Rünger, 2016).”
• Does habit weaken the relationship between intention and behaviour? Revisiting the habit‐intention interaction hypothesis (2020, background): “…into the habit-intention interaction hypothesis, as demanded by evidence of the impact of self-control on the translation of habit and intention into action (Danner et al., 2011; Lin et al., 2016; Neal et al., 2013; Wood & Rünger, 2016), generates important implications for behaviour change.”
• Procrastination out of Habit? The Role of Impulsive Versus Reflective Media Selection in Procrastinatory Media Use (2018, methodology): “…the need for investigations into capacity and motivation as boundary conditions of impulsive versus reflective behavior (Strack & Deutsch, 2004; Wood & Rünger, 2016) and without turning to self-control literature to clarify the concepts of control motivation and control capacity (e.g., Kotabe…”
• The Power of Goal-Directed Processes in the Causation of Emotional and Other Actions (2017, methodology): “Some standard dual-process models propose a default-interventionist architecture in which the stimulus-driven process is the default process, whereas goaldirected processes only occur under special conditions (Evans & Stanovich, 2013; Wood & Rünger, 2016).”
