There are a mass of references but can we see some links to show that this theory has rceived any sort of peer review beyond the classrooms of William Swann. Good self-esteem is one thing, vanity is another. -- RHaworth 18:37, 11 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

All of the references cited in the article are peer reviewed. Wbswann 21:54, 11 January 2007 (UTC)wbswann[reply]

Prof. Swann's being, if anything, modest: His defense that the references were all peer reviewed doesn't mention the calibre of the journals in which his results were published. JPSP and AMR are both top-end journals in the fields of social psychology and management. Publishing in these outlets is extremely challenging and their acceptance rate is quite low. I'm appreciative that Prof Swann took the time to write a crisp and straightforward primer on SV theory on Wikipedia. I think RHaworth's critique is off-base here.
