Description
The Handbook of Self-determination Research brings together research from various fields to explore human motivation and its role in self-regulation. Over the past twenty years, researchers have investigated motivational issues using theories such as Self-Determination Theory, with studies conducted in education, work, parenting, healthcare, sport, and environmental protection. In 1999, thirty researchers gathered at the University of Rochester to share their findings and discuss future research directions. This handbook summarizes the research programs of these social, personality, clinical, developmental, and applied psychologists, who believe that self-determination is crucial for understanding basic motivational processes and solving real-world problems. Eighteen chapters present the current state of research in this approach, with concise accounts from researchers at eighteen universities in the United States, Canada, and Germany.
