    Positive Psychology and Growth

    Chapter

    Positive psychology falls within the perspective of humanism (or humanistic psychology) but is different because it focuses on testing ideas. Abraham Maslow had arguably the most well-known view of growth motivation because his concept appears in countless psychology and educational psychology textbooks. Optimism is an area that has an interesting past and has quite a cast of characters over time. Most recent, optimism has been viewed as a cognitive characteristic, but not just plain cognition because there is an emotional component to it. There are two types of happy in the motivation world. The first is hedonic, which focuses on the experience of pleasure, avoiding problems, and having a relaxed and good life. The second, eudaemonic happiness, focuses on three areas: wealth and materialism, attachment, and personal goals. Youth activities that promote positive development do have solid longitudinal research showing their effects.

    Motivation 101

    Book

    This book helps in understanding motivation from a perspective of basic knowledge, provides a bit of the schema set that a motivation researcher brings to these situations and offers some guidance in one or more motivational models. Chapter 1 begins with a global definition of motivation. Motivation is not a learning theory, but it affects what people learn. The second chapter talks about topics related to incentives, rewards, reinforcers, and punishers using the operant-conditioning framework. Self-determination theory (SDT) is a large-scale model for motivation, and allows for the discussion of social development, individual differences, and cultural factors that can assist or impede a person’s progress. Needs can be thought of as arising from three categories: physiological, psychological and social needs. The sheer “motivation” for paying attention in class and working on material in class concerning physiological needs is impressive. Individuals have beliefs and judgments about their ability to successfully complete an activity or task, which can be termed as expectations. Additionally, people also have a value system associated with the expectation. Goals are important and goal setting is crucial for moving forward. Long-term goals are better suited for increasing intrinsic motivation. Chapter 7 describes several focused theories within the thematic concept of self-evaluation or self-judgment. Positive psychology falls within the perspective of humanism but focuses on testing ideas. Optimism has been viewed as a cognitive characteristic with an emotional component to it.
