Review: "Accessible and engaging, ... introducing students directly to the research literature [and] encouraging them to develop considerable theoretical sophistication.'---Katherine Arbuthnott, University of Regina" "Why do some people respond to success by lowering their aspirations while others raise them? Why do some people go out of their way to identify with stigmatized minority groups? The Social Psychology of Motivation is a collection of 20 classic and contemporary articles exploring the motivations behind these behaviours and many others. The readings, each of which is accompanied by a preface explaining its historical and conceptual significance, are organized in nine thematic units, and for each unit the editor provides a substantial commentary outlining the importance of its theme as an organizing principle for the study of motivation." "Combining empirical research and theoretical reviews with thoughtful, informative commentary and helpful pedagogy, The Social Psychology of Motivation is designed for upper-level undergraduate courses, but professionals and practitioners in many fields will also benefit from the insights it offers."--BOOK JACKET.
