Summary:"In this new edition, Herbert L. Petri has updated explanations of motivation, using an eclectic framework that balances biological, behavioral, and cognitive theories. Not only are these theories presented in the appropriate contexts, but the particular merits and drawbacks of each of these major perspectives are also well delineated, allowing you to understand how behavior is determined by many interconnected factors." "Motivation includes selective rather than exhaustive coverage of research in order to give you a firm grounding in motivational processes without "getting lost in the data." In addition, you'll find expanded coverage in the Emotions Chapter."--BOOK JACKET.
