    • 2017 November, Markus Hinterleitner, Fritz Sager, “Anticipatory and reactive forms of blame avoidance: of foxes and lions”, in European Political Science Review, volume 9, number 4, →DOI, →ISSN, pages 587–606:
      Blame avoidance behavior (BAB) encompasses all kinds of integrity-protecting activities by officeholders in the face of potentially blame-attracting events. It is increasingly common for scholars to scrutinize political decisions and their effects in order to establish whether, and to what degree, they have been caused by officeholders’ motivation to avoid blame. By now, BAB is considered a widespread phenomenon that is essential for a realistic understanding of the nature and workings of political systems.
    • 2024, James Weinberg, Governing in an Age of Distrust: A Comparative Study of Politicians' Trust Perceptions and Why They Matter‎[1], Oxford University Press, →ISBN:
      In other words, politicians who feel distrusted may upweight the risks attached to policy failure, whilst politicians who feel mistrusted may upweight the risks attached to being ‘caught out’ in their BAB.
