Purpose in Life as a System that Creates and Sustains Health and Well-Being: An Integrative, Testable Theory (2009, background): “A person who is unable to grasp abstract concepts might ﬁnd it difﬁcult to generate a purpose since purpose requires insight, introspection, and planning (Carver & Scheier, 2002).”
A framework for understanding leadership and individual requisite complexity (2011, background): “This occurs because, rather than being directly set by higher level systems, goals emerge from a wide array of constraints (Carver & Scheier, 2002; DeShon & Gillespie, 2005; Lord et al., 2010), and thereby, automatically ground motivation in a broad range of concerns.”
A motivational hierarchy within: primacy of the individual self, relational self, or collective self? (2012, background): “Motivation enables proactive functioning to construct a desired future via goals and ideals (Carver & Scheier, 2002; Elliott & Dweck, 1988; Gollwitzer & Moskowitz, 1996).”
Beyond the myth of venting: Social sharing modes determine the benefits of emotional disclosure (2012, background): “Negative emotions occur when the meaning of events conflicts with the person's systems of expectation (Carver & Scheier, 2002; Frijda, 2006; Scherer, 2004).”
Achieving Work-Family Balance: An Action Regulation Model (2019, background): “People will (continue to) pursue a goal if they have high goal expectancy, which results when no barriers prohibit goal attainment and the goal seems achievable given the available resources (Carver & Scheier, 2002).”
Intra-individual variability and psychological flexibility: Affect and health in a National US sample (2017, background): “Third, after responding, people must evaluate their status with reference to their goal and implement changes to reduce any difference (a discrepancy-reducing feedback loop; Carver & Scheier, 2002).”
Retail therapy: A strategic effort to improve mood (2011, neutral): “In striving to achieve these multiple self-regulation goals, Carver and Scheier (2002) conclude that the goals “form a queue, with the goal that currently has the priority being the one that is actively pursued at that moment.”
Automaticity: a theoretical and conceptual analysis. (2006, background): “Some scholars have distinguished between processes that are so weak that they remain hidden to consciousness and those that are so well practiced that they have dropped out of consciousness (Carver & Scheier, 2002; Cleeremans & Jiménez, 2002; James, 1890; Moskowitz, 2001).”
Individual Self, Relational Self, Collective Self: Hierarchical Ordering of the Tripartite Self (2011, background): “Goals Motivational primacy is manifested not only in reactions to feedback but also in proactive functioning such as the construction of goals and ideals (Carver and Scheier 2002; Elliott and Dweck 1988).”
A Three-Tier Hierarchy of Self-Potency: Individual Self, Relational Self, Collective Self (2013, background): “Persons engage in proactive functioning by constructing a desired future via goals and ideals (Carver & Scheier, 2002; Oyserman, Bybee, Terry, & Hart-Johnson, 2004).”
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).”
