Biological, Psychological, and Environmental

1st Edition Lambert Deckers 2001 448 pages (est.) 0-205-27115-4 (Hardback)

Motivation refers to the inducement of action, feelings, and thought; Motivation identifies what the sources of inducement are. Well-grounded in the history of the field, Motivation: Biological, Psychological, and Environmental combines classic studies with current research. In addition, the author employs a conversational writing style designed to retain student interest. Use of illustrative examples drawn from literature, film, music, and the visual arts enhances this approach and makes the material wholly accessible to those who use the text.

• Looks at sources of motivation from three distinct perspectives: biological, psychological, and environmental.
• Questions at the beginning of each chapter tell students what to expect, as well as guide their readings.
• Chapter-opening vignettes increase student interest in material (for example, Chapter 11 on Goal Motivation talks about the training regimen of figure skater Michelle Kwan).
• Discussion questions at the end of each chapter help students learn material and apply concepts to their own lives.
• Key terms highlighted throughout the chapter.
