• On Passion for Life Activities (2010, neutral): “Past research on self-esteem contingencies (e.g., Crocker & Park, 2004) has shown that people who have high self-esteem contingencies with respect to a variable source (e.g., one’s performance on a given activity) will see their self-esteem fluctuate more than those with lower contingencies.”

• Do people's self-views matter? Self-concept and self-esteem in everyday life. (2007, background): “Several authors (Baumeister, Campbell, Krueger, & Vohs, 2003; Crocker & Park, 2004; Marsh & Craven, 2006; Scheff & Fearon, 2004) have questioned the utility of selfesteem in predicting important social outcomes, asserting that the effect sizes linking self-esteem to important outcome variables are…”
• The science of self-compassion. (2012, background): “However, psychologists are now starting to question whether self-esteem is all it’s made out to be (for reviews, see Blaine & Crocker, 1993; Crocker & Park, 2004).”
