I just received the below information on a new book that I pass along FYI.
Culture, Self, and, Motivation: Essays in Honor of Martin L. Maehr
Edited by Avi Kaplan, Ben Gurion University of the Negev
Stuart A. Karabenick, University of Michigan
Elisabeth De Groot, University of Michigan
The authors of the chapters in this volume-past and present collaborators of
Marty Maehr, and a few of his former graduate students along the years-are
motivational researchers who conduct research using diverse methods and
perspectives, and in different parts of the world. All, however, see their
intellectual roots in Marty's theoretical and empirical work. The chapters
in this book are divided into two sections: Motivation and Self and Culture
and Motivation. Clearly, the distinctions between these two sections are
very blurry, as they are in Marty's work. And yet, when the authors were
asked to contribute their chapters, the research questions they addressed
seemed to have formed two foci, with personal motivation and socio-cultural
processes alternating as the core versus the background in the two sections.
