Human Motivation

Weiner introduces -- and offers his own motivation for producing - - this most impressive work with the following: There are two distinct approaches to the study of motivation. One stratagem is a product of academic experimental procedures while the second is an outgrowth of clinical non-experimental methods. Each of the approaches has unique advantages and disadvantages. But all investigators in this field are guided by a single basic question namely Why do organisms think and behave as they do? To help answer that basic question Human Motivation presents an entire range of motivation studies -- from psychoanalytic social learning and humanistic theory; to social facilitation arousal emotions personal responsibility and the irrationality of attributions; through chapterand verse of Hullian and Lewinian theory. .
