Inhalte: Overview The course provides an overview of the major theories and findings in research on motivation and self-regulation. After addressing the history of research on motivation and self-regulation (e.g., we will read the chapters on the will and on the stream of consciousness by William James), we will discuss phenomena such as delay of gratification, resistance to temptation, goal setting and forming goal commitments, persistence despite difficulties, disengagement of goals, epistemic structures, and fanaticism as well as the mastery of major negative life events and daily hassles. We will discuss classic and recent approaches and findings regarding these phenomena, will design studies geared at fostering theoretical and applied knowledge, and will consider the meaning of the phenomena in different cultural contexts. Finally, we will discuss how one can create intervention studies applying the learned principles to help solve everyday concerns, as well as institutional and societal challenges.
