Witnessing change: Dynamic norms help resolve diverse barriers to personal change (2019, background): “Given that people often infer others' motivation from their behavior (Kelley, 1967, 1973), witnessing others' change may signal that others believe this change was important enough to overcome relevant hurdles, altering perceived injunctive norms and motivating personal change (Jacobson, Mortensen,…”

Compassion organizing: Employees' satisfaction with corporate philanthropic disaster response and reduced job strain (2015, background): “Yet according to the attribution theory (Kelley, 1967), it is possible that when people are suffering from emotional exhaustion and somatic complaints, theymay blame others, such as their employers.”
The “false consensus effect”: An egocentric bias in social perception and attribution processes (1977, background): “‘j Such findings, of course, are consistent with the theoretical contentions of Jones and Davis (1965) and Kelley (1967) that atypical, counternormative or unexpected responses in a given situation prompt stronger inferences about the relevant actors than do more common responses.”
