• PerCePtion in the serviCe of goAl Pursuit: motivAtion to AttAin goAls enhAnCes the PerCeived size of goAl-instrumentAl oBjeCts (2008, methodology): “…behavior to occur (Strahan et al., 2002; Veltkamp et al., in press) This notion is in line with data in research on nonconscious goal pursuit (for an overview, see e.g., Custers & Aarts, 2005b; Moskowitz, Li, & Kirk, 2004) showing that priming a goal instigates motivational goal-directed behavior.”
• Goal Priming and the Affective-Motivational Route to Nonconscious Goal Pursuit (2008, methodology): “This hypothesis that mere coactivation of a neutral goal concept and positive affect produces nonconscious goal pursuit was tested in another line of research (Custers & Aarts, 2005b).”
• In search of the nonconscious sources of goal pursuit: Accessibility and positive affective valence of the goal state (2007, methodology): “That is, inspired by previous work on this topic (Peak, 1955; Pervin, 1989; Young, 1961) we have suggested that a goal representation not only speciWes the state or standard that is desired, but also contains the information that it is desired (see also Aarts & Hassin, 2005; Custers & Aarts, 2005).”
• Health and goal-directed behavior: The nonconscious regulation and motivation of goals and their pursuit (2007, background): “This assumption led us (Aarts & Hassin, 2005; Custers & Aarts, 2005a; Hassin, Aarts, Eitam, Custers, & Kleinman, in press) to suggest that nonconscious goals operate via cognitive processes that follow principles of executive control: the ability to guide cognition and action in accord with goals,…”
• The influence of social groups on goal contagion (2008, methodology): “Although past work has demonstrated automatic goal pursuit using conceptual priming techniques (for review see Custers & Aarts, 2005 ), the present studies illustrate a common way in which goals may be primed in our daily lives.”
• SOCIAL STEREOTYPES AND AUTOMATIC GOAL PURSUIT (2005, background): “In that case, stereotype priming may lead to behavioral changes, according to the perception–action link account, in a rather passive and reflexive way (Custers & Aarts, 2005; see also footnote 1).”
• Behavioral cues to others’ motivation and goal pursuits: The perception of effort facilitates goal inference and contagion (2007, result): “In sum, although our results suggest that behavior changes resulted from the priming of a preexisting representation of a desired goal state (see Aarts et al., 2004, 2005; Custers and Aarts, 2005b), other explanations can hold as well.”
