Leading us not unto temptation: momentary allurements elicit overriding goal activation. (2003, background): “In this case, pursuing one goal leads to an activation of a related goal concept ( Shah, Friedman, & Kruglanski, 2002 ).”
Counteractive evaluation: Asymmetric shifts in the implicit value of conflicting motivations (2010, background): “Indeed, in their research on goal shielding, Shah, Friedman, and Kruglanski (2002) observed that a subliminal presentation of goal-related cues interferes with lexical decisions for concepts related to competing motivations.”
Like ripples on a pond: behavioral spillovers and their implications for research and policy (2015, background): “This reflects the idea that the same behavior or mean can serve more than one identity goal (‘multifinality’ in Shah, Friedman, and Kruglanski (2002)).”
Distinguishing the effects of beliefs and preconditions: The folk psychology of goals and actions (2005, result): “This finding is novel in research on folk theories, but it is consistent with research on actual goals that shows that people who posses the relevant preconditions are more likely to engage in intentional action (Gollwitzer, 1996; Shah, Friedman, & Kruglanski, 2002; Taylor & Pham, 1996).”
Whatever It Takes: How and When Supervisor Bottom-Line Mentality Motivates Employee Contributions in the Workplace (2020, background): “…information and competing demands (e.g., Smith & Tracey, 2016), the high BLM supervisor’s clear Supervisor Bottom-line Mentality 8 standards and direct approach to success may be viewed as desirable for reducing employees’ uncertainty and clarifying performance desires (e.g., Shah et al., 2002).”
Achievement Goal Theory at the Crossroads: Old Controversies, Current Challenges, and New Directions (2011, positive): “Are some regulatory strategies more effective than others (see Bodmann, Hulleman, & Harackiewicz, 2008; Shah, Friedman, & Kruglanski, 2002)?”
The goal construct in social psychology. (2007, background): “…for attentional resources, the activation of one, focal goal can sometimes lead to the inhibition of another, alternative goal in memory; in this way, the focal goal ‘shields’ itself from alternative ones by directly reducing the accessibility of alternative goals in memory (Shah et al., 2002).”
Emotional transfer in goal systems (2004, background): “Anderson & Bower, 1973; Higgins, 1996b; Meyer & Schvaneveldt, 1971; Srull, 1981), including links tying together different motivational constructs (Bargh & Barndollar, 1996; Fishbach et al., 2003; Shah et al., 2002).”
Future thought and behaviour change (2012, background): “A final example is goal shielding (measured by reduced accessibility of a competing goal) that directly ensues when commitment to the focal goal is high (Shah et al., 2002).”
Managing Joint Production Motivation: The Role of Goal Framing and Governance Mechanisms (2011, background): “In turn, these cognitive processes have an impact on motivation by inhibiting other goals (Shah et al., 2002), by influencing what we like and dislike (Ferguson & Bargh, 2004), and by governing the criteria we use to judge goal realization or failure (Carver & Scheier, 2002).”
