- Summary
- Moving beyond the traditional, and unproductive, rivalry between the fields of motivation and cognition, this book integrates the two domains to shed new light on the control of goal-directed action. The editors have assembled renowned social and motivational psychologists who present concise formulations of the latest research programs that are effectively mapping the territory, providing new findings and suggesting innovative strategies for future research. Taken together, the contributions in this provocative volume lay the groundwork for a new field - the psychology of action. Designed to elicit lively, in-depth classroom discussion, the text will enrich the knowledge of graduate students, researchers, and educators.
