Handbook of Motivation and Cognition, Volume 2: Foundations of Social Behavior

Richard M. Sorrentino

3/5 ( ratings)

HANDBOOK OF MOTIVATION AND COGNITION, Volume 1, challenged the prevailing hot/cold, either/or dichotomy, and proposed instead the "warm look"-- a synergistic approach to the roles of "hot" motivations and "cold" cognitions in the production of behavior. Highly acclaimed as a groundbreaking work, Contemporary Psychology called it, "an extremely valuable contribution to the field....Unique as a handbook...rather than summarizing an existing body of knowledge, it attempts to define and shape an emerging field." Volume 2 continues to emphasize both theory and research on the motivation-cognition interface. However, the range of approaches has been widened to include clinical, developmental, political, and cognitive psychological as well as the social and personality perspectives prominent in the first volume
