Twenty years ago, a group of investigators joined forces to propose
a new conceptual paradigm based on a cognitive approach to
motivation. This approach, referred to as goal systems theory,
offered a broad perspective on behavioral phenomena and inspired
research programs in diverse domains of psychological science. This
volume collects the rich body of insights and findings that the
goal systemic approach has yielded over the last two decades. Using
the major cognitive architectures of goal systems, leading
researchers from some of the world's most renowned universities
push the envelopes of their respective fields to discover new
psychological phenomena and relationships through applications.
These include fundamental topics such as attitude-behavior
relations, intrinsic motivation, consumer behavior, violent
extremism, addiction, and interpersonal relations among others. In
all those domains, applications of goal systemic analyses provide
novel insights and guide real world interventions. Chapters in this
volume present the authors' work in these varied domains of
application thus offering concrete illustrations of the theory's
reach and usefulness.
