This third edition provides translations of all chapters of the
most recent fifth German edition of Motivation and Action,
including several entirely new chapters. It provides comprehensive
coverage of the history of motivation, and introduces up-to-date
theories and new research findings. Early sections provide a broad
introduction to, and deep understanding of, the field of motivation
psychology, mapping out different perspectives and research
traditions. Subsequent chapters examine major themes of human
motivation, including achievement, affiliation, and power
motivation as well as the fundamentals of motivation psychology,
such as motivated and goal oriented behaviors, implicit and
explicit motives, and the regulation of development. In addition,
the book discusses the roles of motivation in three practical
fields: school and college, the workplace, and sports. Topics
featured in this text include: Social Relationships and its effects
on sexual or intimacy motivation. Conscious and unconscious
motivators of behavior. Drives and incentives in the fields of
achievement, intimacy, sociability and power. How the biochemistry
and structures of our brain shapes motivated behavior. How to
engage in intentional goal-directed behavior. The potential and
limits of motivation and self-direction in shaping our lives.
