Motivation, Seventh Edition
Providing students with an accessible introduction to motivation and emotion, this textbook takes a unique multidisciplinary approach that examines evolutionary, biological, and physiological factors critical in understanding human behavior. By understanding the essential functions of our motivations and emotions, as well as applying the principles and theories described in the text, students will not only gain insights into what motivates their own behavior but also into the processes for enacting self-change through goal setting and commitment.
The book’s adoption of multiple perspectives to examine motivation and emotion facilitates the exploration of relevant and interesting topics such as interpersonal relationships, culture, humor, and music, while considering how personality traits, psychological needs, and psychological well-being play a vital role in understanding the reasons behind human behavior and the individual differences that make predicting others’ behavior a difficult but fascinating area of study.
