Acknowledgments Part I: The framework of human motivation
1. Underpinnings: Five foundational doctrines of motivational science
Introduction Principle #1—Motivational inequality is a measurable reality Principle #2—Motivation can be defined, but not universally Principle #3—There is no such thing as being unmotivated Principle #4—Behavior≠motivation, and there are no “motivational” types Principle #5—Individuals may not recognize or understand their own motives References
2. Contentious issues: How evidence refutes motivational misconceptions
Principle #6—Motivational beliefs differ from motivational knowledge Principle #7—Motivational evidence can only answer certain questions Principle #8—Motivation is related to learning and performance but causality is an uncertainty Principle #9—Motivation is subordinate to character and personality Principle #10—Motivation is the responsibility of leaders and can be taught Principle #11—Theoretically, motivated behavior operates on a continuum Principle #12—Optimal motivation is obtainable References
3. The biopsychology of motivation: Using evidence from neurology and endocrinology to understand motivated behavior
Principle #13—Neurological/endocrinological evidence informs or refutes behavioral evidence Principle #14—Neurological/endocrinological inferences are multi-dimensional Principle #15—The brain is a perceptual filter influencing subjective reality Principle #16—Neurological system organization facilitates or inhibits action Principle #17—Power and social dominance displays mimic sympathetic nervous system activation Principle #18—Displays of affiliation mimic parasympathetic nervous system activation Principle #19—Achievement and incentive reward share similar neural response patterns Principle #20—Humanity is motivated to seek pleasure and avoid pain Principle #21—Motivated behavior is heritable and evolutionary References
4. Ch, ch, changes: The developmental trajectory of motivation
Principle #22—Biological change is predictable, motivational change is not Principle #23—Academic and competency motives have developmental trajectories Principle #24—Excellence judgments influence effort direction and intensity Principle #25—Evolution of values and morality mediate moral motivation Principle #26—Gender congruity evaluations substantially influence perceptions of “fit” References
5. A rose by any other name: The influence of culture on motivated behavior
Principle #27—Culture transcends demographics Principle #28—Ethnic identity shapes self-concept and self-relevant motivations Principle #29—Motivational differences exist between individualistic and collectivistic cultures Principle #30—Communication and language patterns are revealing cultural markers Principle #31—Leadership is subjectively interpreted according to culture References
Part II: The powerful role of individual differences and self-beliefs
6. You say to-may-toe, I say to-mah-toe: Individual differences in motives guide focus and effort
Principle #32—The source of motives determines goal emphasis and strategy choice Principle #33—Individual reaction to incentives is variable, and predictable Principle #34—Goal type and orientation are reliable and accurate predictors of behavior Principle #35—Interest is a multi-faceted contributor to motivational intensity References
7. Mount Rushmore: Bedrock theories of applied motivation
Principle #36—Past performance guides future motivation Principle #37—Certain motives are extraordinarily difficult to suppress Principle #38—After ability, self-efficacy explains more performance variation than any other motivational self-belief Principle #39—Motivational theory is applied temporally and situationally References
8. Can I see the real me?: The powerful influence of self-beliefs on motivated behavior
Principle #40—The psychological or physical presence of others may alter normative behavior Principle #41—Pro-social behaviors are compliant, adaptive, and predictable Principle #42—Pro-social motives are egoistic and altruistic Principle #43—Performance inhibiting strategies augment self-worth References
9. No place to hide: Motivation and emotion
Principle #44—Emotional reactions are localized, subjective, and learned Principle #45—Anxiety and boredom are performance-restricting culprits Principle #46—Positive affect is a powerful performance determinant Principle #47—Individuals restructure affect to regulate their emotions References
Part III: Mediation and implementation strategies to promote optimal learning and performance
10. Ready, aim, fire…repeat?: Self-regulation strategies to improve adaptive motivation
Principle #48—Self-regulation is personalized, transitory, and marginally predictable Principle #49—Self-regulatory ability is depletable; accurate calibration is essential Principle #50—Optimal motivation demands monitoring, metacognition, and metamotivation References
11. Location, location, location: Creating and implementing context-specific interventions
Promoting adaptive academic motivation Strategies to motivate work performance Optimizing motivation for athletic and public performances Motivational strategies to enhance online learning and instructional design References
12. The transformers: Overcoming resistance to motivational change
Why do people resist change? Which strategies will individuals use to refute change? Overcoming change resistance in others Instructional strategies supporting conceptual change Learning from leaders Epilogue References
Appendix. Measuring motivation
