This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 419 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For a long time I have had the gnawing desire to convey the broad motivational sig nificance of the attributional conception that I have espoused and to present fully the argument that this framework has earned a rightful place alongside other leading theories of motivation. Furthermore, recent investigations have yielded insights into the attributional determinants of affect, thus providing the impetus to embark upon a detailed discussion of emotion and to elucidate the relation between emotion and motivation from an attributional perspective. The presentation of a unified theory of motivation and emotion is the goal of this book. My more specific aims in the chapters to follow are to: 1) Outline the basic princi ples that I believe characterize an adequate theory of motivation; 2) Convey what I perceive to be the conceptual contributions of the perspective advocated by my col leagues and me; 3) Summarize the empirical relations, reach some definitive con clusions, and point out the more equivocal empirical associations based on hypotheses derived from our particular attribution theory; and 4) Clarify questions that have been raised about this conception and provide new material for still further scrutiny. In so doing, the building blocks (if any) laid down by the attributional con ception will be readily identified and unknown juries of present and future peers can then better determine the value of this scientific product.

Book excerpt: Attributional retraining (AR) is an intervention for changing maladaptive causal attributions to adaptive ones (Wilson & Linville, 1982; 1984). While the therapy shows promise as a remedial technique for assisting at-risk students (Perry et al, 1993), differences exist in its efficacy which appear to be due, in part, to individual student characteristics (Menec et al, 1994). Mastery and performance orientations (Ames, 1984) represent attributional preferences for explaining achievement as due to effort or ability respectively (Dweck, 1986), and can be construed as contributing to the effectiveness of the intervention. However, while mastery-orientation exists as a unidimensional motive, performance-orientation may consist of both approach and avoidance components (Elliott & Harackiewicz, 1996), linked to the student's success perceptio s. College students (n = 328) were evaluated on their goal orientation and success perceptions at the beginning of the academic term, after which half of the sample received AR, with the other half serving as a control. Hypotheses were tested using an attributional retraining (no AR, AR) by goal orientation (failure-accept, performance-avoid, performance-approach, mastery) by perceived success (low, high) 2 x 4 x 2 factorial design. Dependent measures of final grade, perceived control, attributions and affect were assessed at the end of the year. Goal orientation and perceived success interacted with attributional retraining such that when compared to the control group, AR had little influence on the dependent measures for mastery-oriented students, and differential effects for the two performance-orientations depending on their perceived success. Discussion focused on acknowledging the self-worth and ego-protective motives as influential in the success of attributional retraining, with suggestions for reconciling the effort/ability dichotomy to make the therapy beneficial for the student population at large.

Book excerpt: First-generation (1st-gen) college students face unique obstacles that threaten to erode their academic motivation and success during the school-to-college transition (Stebleton & Soria, 2012). Attribution-based motivation treatments can improve achievement for failure-prone college students (Perry & Hamm, 2017), yet their efficacy for students with socioeconomic academic risk factors remains unexamined. The present longitudinal, pre-post, randomized treatment field study administered attributional retraining (AR) to 1st-gen and second-generation (2nd-gen) college students in an online two-semester introductory course who differed in academic control beliefs (low, high). 1st-gen, low control AR recipients outperformed their no-AR peers by a full letter grade (B vs. C+), and were 48% less likely to drop out of the course. Conditional process analyses revealed that AR-achievement linkages were mediated by causal attributions and perceived control in a hypothesized causal sequence. Results further the literature by demonstrating that AR can boost the achievement of at-risk 1st-gen students indirectly via motivation-related variables specified within Weiner's (1985, 2014, 2018) attribution theory.

Download or read book Motivation Emotion and Cognition written by David Yun Dai and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2004-07-13 with total page 802 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The central argument of this book is that cognition is not the whole story in understanding intellectual functioning and development. To account for inter-individual, intra-individual, and developmental variability in actual intellectual performance, it is necessary to treat cognition, emotion, and motivation as inextricably related. Motivation, Emotion, and Cognition: Integrative Perspectives on Intellectual Functioning and Development: *represents a new direction in theory and research on intellectual functioning and development; *portrays human intelligence as fundamentally constrained by biology and adaptive needs but modulated by social and cultural forces; and *encompasses and integrates a broad range of scientific findings and advances, from cognitive and affective neurosciences to cultural psychology, addressing fundamental issues of individual differences, developmental variability, and cross-cultural differences with respect to intellectual functioning and development. By presenting current knowledge regarding integrated understanding of intellectual functioning and development, this volume promotes exchanges among researchers concerned with provoking new ideas for research and provides educators and other practitioners with a framework that will enrich understanding and guide practice.

This book was released on 2005 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Valuable Disconnects in Organizational Learning Systems: Integrating Bold Visions and Harsh Realities offers a comprehensive framework for understanding how knowledge, skills and capabilities are developed in organizations--and how this process offers deep insights into the predictable barriers to success. Written in a clear, accessible style, it highlights the crucial part "disconnects" play in the learning cycle--a role that it is essential to understand in today's increasingly knowledge-driven work systems. The conceptual framework of the text is grounded in scholarly research and detailed case studies that focus on an organization's front-line operating practices, the governance of training and learning activities, and ties to the strategic level. The book highlights six types of organizational learning--including learning that is incremental, experimental, continuous, synergistic, entrenched, and revolutionary--all of which have different implications for theory and practice. The book is organized into three parts. Part I, Bold Visions, introduces the importance and great potential of systems for learning, training, and knowledge. Part II, Harsh Realities, takes a detailed look at the dynamics of "disconnects," "divergence," and "dilemmas" in the learning process. Finally, Part III, Integration, highlights the interconnections between the Bold Visions and the Harsh Realities. Valuable Disconnects in Organizational Learning Systems: Integrating Bold Visions and Harsh Realities is essential reading for organizational leaders at all levels and it is ideal for courses in industrial/organizational psychology, business, and public policy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Does knowing a person?s gender give us a reliable sense of how aggressive, competitive, or emotional he or she is? In this volume leading scholars examine different aspects of this issue. Carol Tavris discusses the state of gender research and the reasons for the continuing popularity of essentialist theories of gender opposition. Nicki Crick and a team of researchers reassess stereotyped assumptions about gender and aggression, employing a more comprehensive definition of aggression as damaging relations rather than only bodies. Diane Gill looks at the relationship between gender and sports competition, explicating how the unique social context of sports affects gender perceptions and performances. Reed Larson and Joseph Pleck question the popular conception of men as less emotional than women, studying gender differences in ?felt? rather than ?expressed? emotions in daily life. Leonore Tiefer considers the ways in which gender roles in sexuality are socially rather than biologically constructed.
