Motivation
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.
Motivation
With a new evolutionary theme, Petri's book covers the biological, behavioral, and cognitive explanations for human motivation. The advantages and drawbacks to each of these explanations are presented, allowing students to draw their own conclusions. Students want to know why they behave the way they do. To help students understand the processes that activate their behavior, Petri uses examples drawn from such contemporary topics as sexual behavior, aggression, eating disorders, and obesity to capture and keep students interested. To help students master and retain the information covered, this edition builds upon the text's simple and direct language with expanded pedagogy including preview questions at the beginning of every chapter, end of chapter summaries, key terms, Web links, and suggestions for further reading.
