A key comprehensive book on self-determination theory. If you don’t want to read all the articles and want a single source, you won’t find a better option.

ES

A chapter in a Personality Psychology book devoted to self-determination theory. An alternative to the “full” version from the 2017 book if you want to save time.

ES

An excellent overview article on self-determination theory. A bit shorter than the book. Useful for a “quick” understanding of the theory.

ES

The general causality orientations scale: Self-determination in personality

Edward L. Deci & Richard M. Ryan (1985). Journal of Research in Personality

An empirical measure within the framework of Self-Determination Theory that identifies causal orientation (autonomous, external, or impersonal). The primary instrument for the corresponding construct.

If you need to identify whether or not an asteroid is trapped in secular resonance, this is the package for you.

ES

The resonant population of asteroids in librating states of the ν6 linear secular resonance

M Huaman et al. (2018). Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society

Contains a list of specific asteroids that are in secular resonances. Useful for comparison or software testing.

ES

Secular Resonance Maps

Zoran Knežević (2022). Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union

Complete list of secular resonances by order with unified notation

ES

Survey of secular resonances in the asteroid belt

Z. Knezevic (2022). Serbian Astronomical Journal

A comprehensive overview of existing secular resonances and their classification by dynamic zones. An excellent start for understanding!

ES

Interesting to isolate encounters vs. secular/MMR resonance effects.

VC

Interesting for learning about close encounters and impacts of V-type asteroids with terrestrial planets, but a bit niche.

VC

Origin and dynamics of Near Earth Objects

Patrick Michel et al. (2005). Comptes Rendus. Physique

A dynamical steady-state model links NEO orbits to asteroid-belt resonances, highlighting Yarkovsky drift as the key resupply mechanism. A bit outdated.

VC

Interesting paper to learn about the dynamics of mmr with Venus in the CR3BP model. Advanced, require some background in celestial mechanics.

VC

Planar near-Earth asteroids in resonance with the Earth

Yi Qi & Anton de Ruiter (2019). Icarus

Useful to learn about what mmr with Earth may be relevant for NEOs. Quite advanced, not an easy reading.

VC

The Location of Linear Secular Resonances for Semimajor Axes Smaller Than 2 AU

Patrick Michel & Christiane Froeschlé (1997). Icarus

First paper on the location of linear secular resonances for NEAS. Interesting reading, a bit outdated.

VC

The Justice Motive as a Personal Resource

Claudia Dalbert (2001). Critical Issues in Social Justice

The belief in a just world is not merely a philosophical/theoretical construct. It helps on the daily basis to maintain well-being. That's something I see also in my counselling.

ES

The Personal Belief in a Just World scale. In other words, people may believe that the world is generally unjust, but that it doesn’t really affect them personally; however, when it comes to things they constantly encounter, that may no longer work...

ES

The Belief in a Just World

Melvin J. Lerner (1980)

Фундаментальная работа по конструкту The Belief in a just world

ES

Experimental Research on Just-World Theory: Problems, Developments, and Future Challenges.

Carolyn L. Hafer & Laurent Bègue (2005). Psychological Bulletin

A pretty good review of the 2000s on belief in a just world

ES

Existential Concerns Arising From a Threat to the Belief in a Just World: A Mixed-Methods Study

Evgeny Smirnov & Maria Makarova (2025). Journal of Humanistic Psychology

Many people believe that the existential concerns are givens of the existence. However, it could be the case that they are triggered by other fundamental beliefs, such as a belief in a just world.

ES

Extrinsic rewards undermine altruistic tendencies in 20-month-olds.

Felix Warneken & Michael Tomasello (2008). Developmental Psychology

Experimental confirmation that a reward can trigger a shift in motivation from intrinsic to extrinsic.

What is Marginalia?

Marginalia is a platform for expert-curated scientific reading lists and digests. Domain experts select significant papers, assign verdicts — Must Read, Worth Reading, Skim, Niche, or Skip — rate difficulty, and write personal commentary. AI assists with discovery and summarization, but every verdict and note is a human expert's opinion.

Built by researchers, for researchers. Currently covering astronomy and psychology, with more fields coming.
