Papers addressing the role which human motivation plays in a wide
range of specialties including clinical psychology, internal
medicine, sports psychology, social psychology, and educational
psychology. Over the past twenty years an increasing number of
researchers from various universities have been investigating
motivational issues underlying the self-regulation of behavior.
Using either Self-Determination Theory or closely related
theoretical perspectives, these researchers have performed
laboratory experiments, as well as field studies in a variety of
real-world settings, including education, work, parenting, health
care, sport, and protection of theenvironment. In April 1999 thirty
of these researchers convened at the University of Rochester to
present their work, share ideas, and discuss future research
directions. The Handbook of Self-Determination Research isan
outgrowth of that important and fascinating conference. It
summarizes the research programs of these social, personality,
clinical, developmental, and applied psychologists who have a
shared belief in the importance of self-determination for
understanding basic motivational processes and for solving pressing
real-world problems. Eighteen chapters, including an overview of
self-determination theory, present the current state of the
research in thisscientifically rigorous, yet highly relevant,
approach to studying motivational problems in various life domains.
Researchers from eighteen universities in the United States,
Canada, and Germany present concise and up-to-date accounts of
their research programs concerned with the self-determination of
human behavior. In these chapters, scholars also consider the
relevance of the research on self-determination to other areas of
inquiry such as coping, self-esteem, and interest. Edward L. Deci
and Richard Ryan are professors of psychology in the University of
Rochester's Department of Clinical and Social Sciences in
Psychology.
