Now completely revised (over 90% new), this handbook established
the concept of competence as an organizing framework for the field
of achievement motivation. With an increased focus on connecting
theory to application, the second edition incorporates diverse
perspectives on why and how individuals are motivated to work
toward competence in school, work, sports, and other settings.
Leading authorities present cutting-edge findings on the
psychological, sociocultural, and biological processes that shape
competence motivation across development, analyzing the role of
intelligence, self-regulated learning, emotions, creativity, gender
and racial stereotypes, self-perceptions, achievement values,
parenting practices, teacher behaviors, workplace environments, and
many other factors. As a special bonus, purchasers of the second
edition can download a supplemental e-book featuring several
notable, highly cited chapters from the first edition. New to This
