Motivation is that which moves us to action. Human motivation is
thus a complex issue, as people are moved to action by both their
evolved natures and by myriad familial, social and cultural
influences. The Oxford Handbook of Human Motivation collects the
top theorists and researchers of human motivation into a single
volume, capturing the current state-of-the-art in this fast
developing field. The book includes theoretical overviews from some
of the best-known thinkers in this area, including chapters on
Social Learning Theory, Control Theory, Self-determination theory,
Terror Management theory, and the Promotion and Prevention
perspective. Topical chapters appear on phenomena such as
ego-depletion, flow, curiosity, implicit motives, and personal
interests. A section specifically highlights goal research,
including chapters on goal regulation, achievement goals, the
dynamics of choice, unconscious goals and process versus outcome
focus. Still other chapters focus on evolutionary and biological
underpinnings of motivation, including chapters on cardiovascular
dynamics, mood, and neuropsychology. Finally, chapters bring
motivation down to earth in reviewing its impact within
relationships, and in applied areas such as psychotherapy, work,
education, sport, and physical activity. By providing reviews of
the most advanced work by the very best scholars in this field, The
Oxford Handbook of Human Motivation represents an invaluable
resource for both researchers and practitioners, as well as any
student of human nature.
