Description The idea for this book grew out of the conference "Motivational Psychology of Ontogenesis" held at the Max Planck Institute for Human
Development in Berlin, Germany, in May 1998. This conference focused on the interface of development and motivation and therefore brought
together scholars from three major areas in psychology - developmental, motivational and lifespan. This combination of fields represents
the potential influence of development on motivation and the potential role motivation plays in development and its major contexts of
family, work and school. Thus, contributors were chosen to apply motivational models to diverse settings of human everyday life and in
various age groups across the life span, ranging from early childhood to old age.
Audience
For students and professionals in the areas of developmental psychology, motivational psychology and researchers in lifespan development.
