Description
Why do people do what they do? From where does a motivational sense of "wanting to" come? How can one person help motivate another? Addressing these key questions and more, Understanding Motivation and Emotion helps readers understand motivation, where it comes from, how and why it changes over time, and how motivation can be increased and its quality can be enhanced. The book also shows how to apply the principles of motivation in applied settings, such as in schools, in the workplace, on the athletic field, in counseling, and in one’s own personal strivings.

Johnmarshall Reeve’s engaging writing captures the excitement of recent advances in the field to show the reader what contemporary motivation psychologists are excited about. Reeve uses effective examples and explains how motivation study can be applied to readers’ daily lives. By combining a strong theoretical foundation with current research and practical applications, Reeve provides readers with a valuable tool for understanding why people do what they do and why people feel what they feel.
