Understanding Motivation and Emotion, 6th Edition walks psychologists through the study of motivation, exploring all conditions that exist within the person and within the environment and culture that explain "why we want what we want" and "why we do what we do." The text expands on theoretical ideas further into practical applications, especially in the areas of education, work, therapy, sports, and the home. Psychologists will discover a number of new ideas, including achievement goals, personal strivings, types of extrinsic motivation, implementation intentions, and more.
