The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

The aging self : shifting from promoting gains to balancing losses (2005, methodology): “In order to avoid potential circularity, we exclude processes related to the management of resources or psychological states such as self-esteem or positive emotions (Freund & Riediger, 2001).”
Developmental changes in personal goal orientation from young to late adulthood: from striving for gains to maintenance and prevention of losses. (2006, background): “Consistent with Hobfoll’s (1998; Freund & Riediger, 2001) notion of the importance of protecting resources for well-being, it seems especially important for older adults to maintain their functional levels as they face more and more resource losses.”
Getting to the “COR” (2014, background): “Previous conceptualizations of resources raise questions about the possibility that preference or valence of a resource can be both universally positive and idiosyncratically valuable (Freund & Riediger, 2001).”
Successful Aging as Management of Resources: The Role of Selection, Optimization, and Compensation (2008, background): “In this article, I argue that the management of resources can be understood best when three interrelated processes are taken into account, namely, selection, optimization, and compensation (SOC; Baltes & Baltes, 1990; Freund, Li, & Baltes, 1999; Freund & Riediger, 2001, 2003).”
