Resilience: When Coping Is Emotionally Intelligent (2005, background): “Knowledge of resilient behaviors is of great interest to researchers because the outcomes have implications in psychological and physical terms (Davey, Eaker, & Walters, 2003; Frydenberg, 1997; Kirkley & Medway, 2003; Konrad & Bronson, 1997; Shih, 2004; Tait, Birchwood, & Trower, 2004).”
If One Doesn’t Get You Another One Will (2012, background): “…oriented, proactive, and collective attempts to change public perceptions and create a more positive identity are increasingly being thought to be stigmatized persons’ “most effective and enduring route to reducing prejudice” (Major, Quinton, McCoy, & Schmader, 2000, p. 217; Shih, 2004).”

(2011, background): “These meaning-making processes of reframing causes and the (de)valuation of life domains lead to a great degree of individual variability in the consequences of stigma-related stress, including gains in selfesteem (see also Shih, 2004).”
A New Look at Stigmatization in and of Organizations (2008, background): “…an alternative, empowerment view would see stigmatized individuals “not as passive targets of prejudice who focus only on avoiding negative consequences but rather as active participants in society who seek to under- stand their social world and create positive outcomes” (Shih, 2004: 180).”
Multiple Social Identities and Adjustment in Young Adults from Ethnically Diverse Backgrounds. (2008, background): “First, akin to the literature on multiple identities and bicultural competence (LaFramboise & Rowe, 1983; Shih, 2004), our findings support positive benefits to having multiple social competencies, though these effects do not appear to be cumulative.”
Shifting the Lens on Organizational Life: The Added Value of Positive Scholarship (2006, background): “Brewster Smith (1969) said that psychology can not decide which values are the "best" but, rather, can investigate the consequences of holding certain values.”
