Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

The authors of the chapters in this volume-past and present collaborators of MartyMaehr, and a few of his former graduate students along the years-are motivationalresearchers who conduct research using diverse methods and perspectives, and indifferent parts of the world. All, however, see their intellectual roots in Marty's theoreticaland empirical work. The chapters in this book are divided into two sections:Motivation and Self and Culture and Motivation. Clearly, the distinctions betweenthese two sections are very blurry, as they are in Marty's work. And yet, when theauthors were asked to contribute their chapters, the research questions theyaddressed seemed to have formed two foci, with personal motivation and socio-culturalprocesses alternating as the core versus the background in the two sections.
