This set of papers, based on an interdisciplinary symposium on motivation held at the 10th Anniversary of the Society for the Science of Motivation, underscores the journal's interdisciplinary commitment, and its mission to provide a platform for behavioral scholars to exchange views and learn from, and stimulate, one another on all matters motivational.
The symposium itself included submissions from neuroscientists, social and personality psychologists, an economist, and a philosopher.
This collection builds on the symposium contributions and presents a set of diverse papers that examine the topic of motivation from multiple points of view.
