“On the other hand, the temporal distance and how near or far away possible selves are in the future will influence individuals' motivational strivings, e.g. students might consider their possible selves to be real only after graduation, meaning that not much can be done yet to achieve their future goal (Henry 2015; Oyserman and Leah 2011).”
From The change in pre-service primary teachers’ possible selves in relation to science teaching (2022) · cites this paper as Oyserman and Leah 2011
In the citing paper
“Oyserman and Leah (2011) talk about connection between teacher identity and possible selves since individuals are motivated to act towards those goals that feel congruent with their current identities.”

In the citing paper
“These specific possible selves are congruent with the PSTs' current identities (cf. Higgins 1987; Oyserman and Leah 2011), and are also decisive, meaning that they have a strong selfdevelopment orientation (Lutovac and Kaasila 2014).”

In the citing paper
“We believe that the wellbalanced possible selves represented in our findings are enduring and are, thus, likely to be strived for, despite the temporal distance and that these general possible selves do not necessarily require PSTs' change instantly (cf. Henry 2015; Oyserman and Leah 2011).”

“This seems to have further signalled to the PST that there was no need for change (Oyserman and Leah 2011).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
