A new text for positive psychology, this book places the self as
the decision maker at the center of the motivational process.
"Personal Motivation" represents a new approach for student and
scholar to consider motivation theory, self theory, and decision
theory. It supports current thinking, which sees the self as
possessing power for growth and change. Challenging traditional
motivation and personality theories, it puts personality within the
context of a new motivation model. It also challenges current
thinking by distinguishing between choosing and deciding, and by
describing the various characteristics of decision making as
uniquely human.
The self is reciprocally influenced by three motivational
systems and is formed by the motivational process itself. A
triarchic theory of motivation is proposed consisting of
interdependent systems: formative, operational, and thematic. This
book places the study of psychology back in the arena of life by
developing a model of motivation and decision making immediately
relevant to personal experience.
