- The language-learning self, self-enhancement activities, and self perceptual change (2012, background): “(p. 5) Oyserman and James (2009), however, in describing their ‘process model of self regulation’, assert that under certain conditions, possible selves can assist in the development of self-regulatory behavior, including conceptions of learning.”
- Not Just Any Path: Implications of Identity-Based Motivation for Disparities in School Outcomes. (2013, background): “When asked about their future self as adults, they describe job and career-focused possible future identities which themselves may be education-dependent or not (for a review of studies describing content of future identities, Oyserman & James, 2008, 2011).”
- Foreign Language Learning Motivation in Higher Education: A Longitudinal Study of Motivational Changes and Their Causes. (2013, unknown): “By drawing on the concept of locus of control as explained in valueexpectancy theory (3.2.1), Oyserman and James (2009) hypothesise that only if students feel they have some control of a situation will they expend effort on it.”
- Identity-based motivation: Implications for action-readiness, procedural-readiness, and consumer behavior (2009, unknown): “While often described in the present tense, identities are temporal, describing the person one was, is, and may become (Neisser, 1988; Oyserman & James, 2008; Ross & Wilson, 2002).”
- Self-Esteem and Future Orientation Predict Adolescents’ Risk Engagement (2017, result): “Findings from the present study support the proposition that possible selves activate self-regulation when teens strive to avoid negative future selves and, instead, pursue positive future selves (Oyserman & James, 2009).”
- The Context-Sensitive Future Self: Possible Selves Motivate in Context, Not Otherwise (2015, background): “However, reviews of the literature suggest that while salience matters, it does not reliably increase motivation or change action (see Oyserman & James, 2008, 2011).”
- Appraising the influence of pro-environmental self-identity on sustainable consumption buying and curtailment in emerging markets: Evidence from China and Poland (2017, unknown): “Generally, self-identity entails temporal interplay between social and personal self-identity working together as an organizing system in constructing who a person was, is and could become in the future (Oyserman & James, 2008).”
