This book started as a symposium on Achievement Motiva tion at the
1978 American Educational Research Association Convention. The
participants in that symposium were Jack Atkinson, Martin Maehr,
Dick De Charms, Joel Raynor, and Dave Hunt. The subsequent response
to that symposium indicated a "coming of age" for motivation theory
in terms of education. Soon afterward, at a Motivation in Education
Conference at University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, it became apparent
that due to this emergence of motivation what was needed was a
comprehensive perspective as to the state of the art of achievement
theory. Achievement theory had by now well surpassed its beginnings
in the 1950s and 1960s and was ready for a composite presentation
and profile of the recent research and theories of motivation.
Thus, this volume was born. I would like to take this opportunity
to thank each contribu tor to this book as well as Robert L. Linn
who critically reviewed several of the manuscripts. Thanks are also
due to my former graduate advisors, Martin L. Maehr, Maurice
Tatsuoka, and Harry Triandis, for the viewpoints given me in
graduate school education which I hope have benefitted this under
taking. Joyce Fitch did a splendid joh typing many of these
chapters and special gratitude should be given to Judy Cadle of
Professional Services, Inc. for the composition and proofing of
this book."
