Lay Theories About White Racists: What Constitutes Racism (and What Doesn't) (2006, background): “Implications for intergroup relations Generally speaking, lay theories are assumed to drive thoughts, feelings, and actions (e.g. Cameron et al., 2001; Hong et al., 2001).”
The Protestant Work Ethic: A Lay Theory with Dual Intergroup Implications (2006, background): “…people can rather readily (but not necessarily permanently) switch to viewing their world, and rendering relevant intergroup judgments, through a different lay theory (one that is likely familiar to them through previous social experiences; e.g. Dweck, Chiu, & Hong, 1995; Hong et al., 2001).”
Lay Theories and Intergroup Relations (2006, methodology): “Also, lay theorists are thought to not necessarily be aware of the tremendous impact their lay theories have on their social understanding and behavior (e.g. see Furnham, 1988; Hong et al., 2001; Wegener & Petty, 1998).”
The BIAS map: behaviors from intergroup affect and stereotypes. (2007, background): “Recent analyses have examined the role of lay theories in group perception (e.g., Hong et al., 2001; Yzerbyt & Rocher, 2002).”
The Roles of Entitativity and Essentiality in Judgments of Collective Responsibility (2006, result): “The last issue we would raise in this section is the connection of our present research with other work that has taken a perceiver-focused approach to the study of group perception ( Hong, Levy, & Chiu, 2001; Plaks, Levy, Dweck, Stroessner, 2004).”
The Malleable Brand: The Role of Implicit Theories in Evaluating Brand Extensions (2010, background): “Previous research has found a moderating effect of motivation on the transfer of both knowledge and affect from a parent brand to an extension and, thus, brand extension fit (Gürhan-Canli and Maheswaran 1998).”
When Humanizing Brands Goes Wrong: The Detrimental Effect of Brand Anthropomorphization amid Product Wrongdoings (2013, background): “This is consistent with the idea that implicit theories can be situationally activated by exposure to persuasive evidence (Hong, Levy, and Chiu 2001).”
