This exceptional volume analyzes the intricate roles interest plays
in cognition, motivation and learning, and daily living, with a
special focus on its development and maintenance across life
domains. Leading experts discuss a spectrum of interest ranging
from curiosity to obsession, and trace its functions in
goal-setting, decision-making, self-regulation, and performance.
New research refines the current knowledge on student interest in
educational settings and the social contexts of interest, with
insights into why interest levels change during engagement and in
the long run. From these findings, contributors address ways to
foster and nurture interest in the therapy room and the classroom,
for optimum benefits throughout life. Among the topics covered: *
Embedding interest within self-regulation. * Knowledge acquisition
at the intersection of situational and individual interest. * The
role of interest in motivation and engagement. * The two faces of
passion. * Creative geniuses, polymaths, child prodigies, and
autistic savants. * The promotion and development of interest. A
robust guide to a fascinating area of study, The Science of
Interest synthesizes the field's current knowledge of interest and
indicates future directions. Its chapters contribute depth and
rigor to this growing area of research, and will enhance the work
of researchers in education, psychologists, social scientists, and
public policymakers.
