Praise is perhaps the most widely used technique to influence
others. When used appropriately, praise can motivate people, make
them feel better, and improve their social relationships. Often,
however, praise fails to work as intended and may even cause harm.
Psychological Perspectives on Praise reviews and integrates
psychological theory and research to provide an overarching
perspective on praise. With contributions from leading scholars in
the field, this book amalgamates diverse theoretical and empirical
perspectives on praise. The book starts with providing an overview
of prominent theories that seek to explain the effects of praise,
including self-enhancement theory, self-verification theory,
attribution theory, and self-determination theory. It then
discusses several lines of empirical research on how praise impacts
competence and motivation, self-perceptions (e.g., self-esteem and
narcissism), and social relationships. It does so in a range of
contexts, including children's learning at school, employees'
commitment at work, and people's behavior within romantic
relationships. The book concludes by showing how praise can be
understood in its developmental and cultural context. Revealing
that praise is a message rich in information about ourselves and
our social environments, this book will be of interest to social,
organizational, personality, developmental, and educational
psychologists; students in psychology and related disciplines; and
practitioners including teachers, managers, and counselors who use
praise in their daily practice.
