Explanation of why the Lidov–Kozai effect is a real resonance (see also Shevchenko’s book)

Practically the only book devoted to the von Zeipel–Lidov–Kozai resonance. An excellent starting point and a go-to reference for those studying the phenomenon.

A fundamental analytical work revealing the Lidov–Kozai effect in the dynamics of satellites

Although Pluto is far from Jupiter and Saturn, its long-term dynamics are substantially “tied” to all the major planets. An excellent theoretical study.

Numerical-analytical study of retrograde resonances in TNOs.

Nice application of von Zeipel method to triple stars.

A pioneering work showing the mechanism for activating Lidov–Kozai oscillations upon capture into a mean-motion resonance (in fact, in the TNO region all asteroids in the ZLKR will also be in an MMR).

Several important conclusions: (1) in the TNO region, 1:N resonances even of high orders can be strong; (2) in fact, captures into MMR + Lidov–Kozai oscillations can explain large deviations or perihelion distances

Following Gomes, Gallardo showed that most likely all asteroids in the ZLKR will also be in MMR, and also showed that even high-order 1:N MMRs (which are strong in the TNO) can be “populated” by asteroids.

An interesting paper that shows how von Zeipel-Lidov–Kozai inside MMRs 2N-5 and 1N-3 plus residual migration can fossilize detached TNOs.

The main theoretical work on the concepts of narrative identity and coherence.

An excellent comparison of how 3 different systems (McAdams-personality, Reese-developmental, Lysaker-clinical) measure supposedly the same construct, but in fact its aspects. Moral: they need to be integrated; one system is not enough.

And this study confirms the link between coherence and well-being (in the case of a life story). Among the drawbacks — it was conducted on students.

For me, the interesting takeaway here is that the more normative events there are in life, the more stable the life story is, and, therefore, in a certain sense, the higher the well-being. In general, it’s useful “not to stick your neck out.”

A very interesting longitudinal study (which is rare) of agency & coherence in the context of psychotherapy. There is a correlation between well-being and agency (positive), but there is none at all with coherence. This is very strange and therefore deserves further study.

A review synthesizing several different works by Habermas et al. Useful to get acquainted as a starting point on these authors.

A conceptual mechanism of autobiographical reasoning is proposed, linking events to identity through coherence.

An interesting attempt to operationalize the coding of narrative coherence through different levels. The article is useful for understanding the development of the topic. There is a pretty good overview of previous research (although selective).

One of the first operationalizations of coherence in life stories across 4 domains (orientation, structure, affect, integration). And yes, a coherent life story leads to well-being.

Three important coherence criteria are introduced: causal explanation, richness of experience, socially valued action.

Together with the previous ones, they form the overall framework of the cognitive schema of the life story and the role of coherence within it.

The main work, in my view, is splitting coherence into domains. It’s important for understanding that different coherences are needed for the narrative to look plausible.

A key work for understanding how and why people explain their life stories. The author works in a social context, so it’s useful specifically in a social, not a personality, context.

The best example in the selection! The article that claimed the crisis had been overcome had to be retracted due to doubts about the data and analysis :)

The authors rightly note that the key problem is the lack of access to the original raw data, plus the fact that if a paper says “data upon request,” it usually means “no.” I agree 100%.

An alternative view of the results of the previous article (Kvarven et al. (2019)): that it’s not the meta-analyses that are to blame, but something else. Useful for general context and variety.

A good idea is to compare the conclusions from meta-analyses with the results of replication studies conducted by independent laboratories. The outcome, I suppose, is clear to you...

Half the effect sizes in psychology meta-analyses can't be reproduced from the primary papers. Sleep well.

We often rely on meta-analyses, but: a) they often don’t provide their raw data (=> can’t be rechecked), b) they handle statistics in an extremely “loose” manner

What struck me here was the author’s thought that good reviewers know whether the effect will be reproduced. Which, to be fair, makes you think that they don’t always say that out loud…
