商品簡介
Early research suggested that we act as we do because of biological needs and extrinsic motivators; but in the 1970s and 1980s, a third concept intrinsic motivation was introduced. A refueling of the debate over intrinsic and extrinsic motivation led to the creation of this book as a means of reviewing the earlier work and providing an update on recent findings. Fifteen contributions, most from psychologists affiliated with academic institutions in the US and Canada (and one from the School of Education, Hebrew U. of Jerusalem), examine various aspects of the developmental nature of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation over time; influences of parents, educators, and employers in facilitating motivation; effects of achievement goals on learning and performance; and the roles of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation in self regulation.
