It is dangerous to comment on your own article. There just isn’t a good way to do it. At one extreme is the specter of the gushing award-winner (“You really like me”) who goes on too long, turning what should be a happy moment into an unseemly orgy of self-congratulation. At the other extreme is the self-effacing commentator who spends so much time in exaggerated thankfulness to all the little people, or in remarks about standing on the shoulders of giants, that the accomplishment looks like a big mistake. On the assumption that there is a fine line between narcissism and toadyism, and that we might somehow tightrope on it for just a few pages, we have agreed to write an article about an article of ours. So, let’s take a quick look at the origins of the white bear studies (Wegner, Schneider, Carter, & White, 1987). We do so with a glimpse at what we think might have been the beginnings of the idea, a glance at where it seems to have led, and a peek at the nature of “classic” articles in general. Already we’re feeling slightly off balance, so let’s get on with it.
