The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Kicking the habit: Effects of nonstereotypic association training and correction processes on hiring decisions (2005, background): “In particular, correction theory proposes that people do not simply resist attempts at control, but they assess the direction and the extent of potential influence and then adjust and calibrate their responses to compensate for this impact ( Mussweiler & Neumann, 2000; Wegener & Petty, 1997; Wilson”
Mental construal and the emergence of assimilation and contrast effects: The inclusion/exclusion model. (2010, background): “In addition, any information brought to mind as part of answering a question is selfgenerated rather than externally presented, further reducing the likelihood that it is perceived as a potentially unwanted influence (Mussweiler & Neumann, 2000).”
Power gets the job: Priming power improves interview outcomes (2013, background): “After all, participants are not exposed to some external information that they need to correct for––all information comes from within the person (Mussweiler & Neumann, 2000).”
Subliminal anchoring: Judgmental consequences and underlying mechanisms (2005, background): “Because this knowledge was self-generated so that it is unlikely to be seen as a biasing inXuence there is little reason for judges to ignore it (Mussweiler & Strack, 1999b; Mussweiler & Neumann, 2000 ).”
