Motivation deckers 3rd edition

Ideas about the motivation and emotion have been around for a couple of thousand years. These ideas include hedonism, the unconscious, the link between motives and incentives, and why people are motivated differently. Part V treats emotions as motives.

An emotion pushes a person into action in order to satisfy the aim of the emotion, such as the aim of fear is to motivate a search for safety. Uses examples from students' everyday lives so that they are able to relate to the material. Student Activities are included at the end of each chapter so that students are able to more fully grasp the concepts of motivation and emotion.

New to This Edition. Each part comprises a major theme which unites the concepts contained in those chapters. Part I on introduction and history defines what motivation and emotion are and how these concepts are studied.

Part II takes the view that the body and mind resemble a machine that is motivated to maintain its existence. How the body and mind evolved determines what enhances motivation but also what is detrimental to motivation.

Part III covers the psychological aspects of motivation. Differences in psychological needs explain why people are pushed in different directions while differences in personality traits accounts for why people are motivated by different incentives. Part IV examines how the environment is a large source of motivation. People are motivated to achieve positive environmental outcomes and avoid negative ones. Each chapter now begins with a concept map—a diagram that pictorially displays the main points in that chapter for visual learners.

Web addresses are now included in most chapters so students can find additional information related to a specific topics of motivation or emotion that interest them. About the Author s.
