Now completely revised (over 90% new), this handbook established the concept of competence as an organizing framework for the field of achievement motivation. With an increased focus on connecting theory to application, the second edition incorporates diverse perspectives on why and how individuals are motivated to work toward competence in school, work, sports, and other settings. Leading authorities present cutting-edge findings on the psychological, sociocultural, and biological processes that shape competence motivation across development, analyzing the role of intelligence, self-regulated learning, emotions, creativity, gender and racial stereotypes, self-perceptions, achievement values, parenting practices, teacher behaviors, workplace environments, and many other factors. As a special bonus, purchasers of the second edition can download a supplemental e-book featuring several notable, highly cited chapters from the first edition

"In writing this volume, I found that I could not produce a manageable book on both learning and motivation, so I abandoned learning to those psychologists concerned with "how we become what we are," i.e., those who write books on learning. I approached the problems generally subsumed under motivation, knowing that any attempted answers must necessarily be incomplete. I presumed to treat drives in performance without including the role of learning in need-related responses, and I presumed to consider goals without showing first how they were learned. Instead, I used as the focus of interest the evidence which suggested that transitory variables were shifting yet were constantly at work within man's activity stream. Behavior, or responses of the muscular system, is a part of the activity stream that can be more reliably recorded but may be less significant with regard to motivation than the other activities. I have emphasized the interaction of motivation and personality. The illustrative material is primarily taken from experimental studies, although clinical and industrial observations are also included"--Preface.
