The reader begins with an original paper by the editors that introduces the social-personality perspective on motivational science and provides an integrated review of empirical and theoretical contributions. Major issues in motivational science are identified that form the basis for the organization of the book. Each section of the book also has a brief introduction, suggested additional readings, and questions for discussion.
"This volume beautifully captures those advances that have gone the distance in refining our understanding of links between motivation and cognition. I can think of no better way to inspire interest and to educate in this growing arena."
-Professor Susan Andersen, New York University."
"This excellent collection offers key readings in motivation science in one place. Together with the editors' thoughtful and comprehensive introduction, it is an invaluable teaching resource at the graduate and advanced undergraduate levels."
-Professor Norbert Schwarz, University of Michigan."
"Motivational Science contains a wonderful collection of core readings organized in a fascinating way by two wise scholars of social psychology. This volume provides a motivational complement to the more typical cognitive approaches in this field and usefully connects social psychology to historically significant approaches to human behavior. Instructors will need and want to use this collection in their courses on motivation and emotion, personality, and social psychology."
-Professor Peter Salovey, Yale University."
