Capturing the complexity of human behavior has been a recurring
theme in the Nebraska Symposium on Motivation. The contributors to
this volume describe contemporary approaches to the modeling of
complex cognitive and behavioral processes, ranging from molecular
to molar phenomena. Although the essays reflect a wide range of
theoretical and epistemic perspectives, they all incorporate
complex frameworks of dynamic, systemlike relationships involving
perception, learning, concept formation, emotion, motivation,
intention, behavior, and the social context in which behavior
occurs. The editors introduce the volume with a survey of the
lifetime of the symposium, showing the development of ideas about
behavioral and psychological complexity for over fifty years. A
special feature of this collection is its emphasis on practical
applications of the conceptual frameworks in which they work. The
contributors provide examples of translational research ranging
from clinical neuropsychology to self-actualization, from medical
informatics to industrial psychology, from programmed learning to
psychiatric rehabilitation.
Moral Motivation through the Life Span is the fifty-first volume in
the Nebraska Symposium on Motivation series, the longest
continuously running symposium in the field of psychology. This
work focuses on moral development theory and research, an area of
academic study that began early in the twentieth century but has
never before been addressed by the Symposium. What is morality,
such theorists ask, and what exactly makes a moral person? The
contributors to this volume are of diverse theoretical orientations
and take different stances on a number of major themes: What
motivates moral behavior? Are there certain universal moral values,
or are such values always subjective? Does an individual's will or
an individual's environment play a greater role in determining
moral conduct? What influence can we attribute to spirituality?
Finally, the contributors explore the practical applications of
their research on moral motivation: What implications do such
theories have for child-rearing or our educational system? How do
we raise the next generation to be empathetic toward their fellow
human beings? Nebraska-Lincoln and the recipient of a distinguished
