- Conservation of Resources in the Organizational Context: The Reality of Resources and Their Consequences (2018, background): “The self-expansion model suggests that humans have a fundamental motivation to self-expand in order to increase the “physical and social resources, perspectives, and identities that facilitate achievement of any goal that might arise” (Aron et al. 2001, p. 478).”
- “I Identify with Her,” “I Identify with Him”: Unpacking the Dynamics of Personal Identification in Organizations (2016, background): “While closeness-focused PI remains an understudied phenomenon in organizational contexts (Aron et al., 2013), the social psychology literature provides specific leads on how a relational climate may enable interpersonal closeness and PI to develop.”
- The Psychology of Neoliberalism and the Neoliberalism of Psychology (2019, background): “Rather, neoliberal individualism constructs connection—whether mating/dating, friend, or parent–child relations— as another site for self-expression, self-expansion (e.g., Aron et al., 1991, 2013) and pursuit of personal fulfillment.”
- Growing Followers: Exploring the Effects of Leader Humility on Follower Self‐Expansion, Self‐Efficacy, and Performance (2018, unknown): “[1] Although self-expansion theory was originally proposed to explain general social relationships, Aron et al. (2013) suggest that self-expansion can occur in organizational contexts, such as between colleagues or between an advisor and a protégé.”
