At every point in the life span, individual differences in a sense
of control are strong predictors of motivation, coping, success,
and failure in a wide range of life domains. What are the origins
of these individual differences, how do they develop, and what are
the mechanisms by which they exert such influence on psychological
functioning? This book draws on theories and research covering key
control constructs, including self-efficacy, learned helplessness,
locus of control, and attribution theory. Ellen A. Skinner
discusses such issues as the origins of control in social
interactions; environmental features that promote or undermine
control; developmental change in the mechanisms by which
experiences of control have their effects on action; and the
implications for intervening into the competence system, including
interventions for people in uncontrollable circumstances. Written
at a level appropriate for upper-division undergraduates, the book
can serve as a supplement to the social and personality development
course as well as a core text for motivation, educational
psychology, or clinical courses at the graduate level. This book
won't be the first one on the topic, but it will be the first one
that professionals and graduate students turn to whenever they want
a definitive opinion on complex questions of control or an idea for
cutting-edge research on the topic of motivation, coping, and
control.
