Considerable evidence indicates that religion is a motivational
force in the lives of most of the world's population, and recent
social and political events have placed religion center stage.
Motivation is considered an essential component of any adequate
answer to the question, 'Why religion?'. That question concerned
early psychologists, such as Freud and James, but was relatively
neglected with the ascendancy of behaviorism. It has since regained
momentum as an important area of research and scholarship. In spite
of the fact that motivational principles are implicit in many
analytical treatments of religion, and that some articles and book
chapters discuss motivation and religion, this literature is widely
dispersed and confined primarily to Judeo-Christian world views.
This volume of the "Advances" series presents a systematic approach
to the topic, as viewed through the lens of such contemporary
theories of motivation as expectancy-value, self-determination, and
achievement goal theory. An international group of scholars offers
a comprehensive view of how such theories help to understand
religiosity and its impact on human experiences and behavior. In
addition, authors consider the implications of religious
experiences and behavior for motivation theory. Separately, these
contributions provide unique perspectives. Collectively, they
represent the prominent theoretical approaches to motivation,
include the world's dominant religions, and address a wide variety
of significant issues related to this very significant subject.
