Motivation, Thought, and Action

The past three decades of research on human motivation have presented theories of cognitive decision-making that fail to account for numerous behavioral "paradoxes" such as the disproportional rise in motivation following the reduction in anxiety. This text provides empirical evidence and a broad theoretical framework for integrating cognitive, emotional and motivational psychology though a systems-oriented perspective.John W Atkinson is the author of 'Motivation, Thought, and Action', published 1986 under ISBN 9780275920968 and ISBN 0275920968.
