¿Por qué hacemos lo que hacemos? Esta es la pregunta que se intenta responder en esta obra. Sin duda es una cuestión central en psicología y se cuenta entre los retos de una ciencia que busca mejorar la vida de las personas. A través de seis dimensiones (instinto-aprendizaje, pasividad-actividad, extrínseco-intrínseco, inconsciente-consciente, individuo-sociedad y aproximación-evitación), en el libro se repasan conceptos y teorías básicas de la motivación. Aunque dichos conceptos se contextualizan en su momento histórico, el texto se centra en su valor como instrumentos interpretativos de la conducta humana. Está dirigido fundamentalmente a estudiantes de Psicología y Ciencias de la Salud, y grados afines como Pedagogía, Sociología o Trabajo Social. Incluye tanto investigaciones recientes en ámbitos de la neurociencia cognitiva como las reflexiones más amplias sobre la psicología evolucionista, el conductismo, el psicoanálisis, la perspectiva cognitiva de la motivación y la teoría de la autodeterminación. La obra también puede ser atractiva para un lector no universitario que quiera acercarse al conocimiento sobre el ser humano: ¿Dónde surgen los deseos? ¿Estamos determinados por nuestra genética? ¿Cuáles son los mecanismos cognitivos que determinan la aproximación o la evitación a estímulos? ¿Por qué son tan importantes las metas y los planes en la satisfacción vital? Estas y otras preguntas pueden encontrar aquí una respuesta sencilla pero bien documentada.

What is the role of fit measures when respecifying a model? Should the means of the sampling distributions of a fit index be unrelated to the size of the sample? Is it better to estimate the statistical power of the chi-square test than to turn to fit indices? Exploring these and related questions, well-known scholars examine the methods of testing structural equation models (SEMS) with and without measurement error, as estimated by such programs as EQS, LISREL and CALIS.

This volume presents the reader with a stimulating tapestry of essays exploring the nature of personal autonomy, self-determination, and agency, and their role in human optimal functioning at multiple levels of analysis from personal to societal and cross-cultural. The starting point for these explorations is self-determination theory, an integrated theory of human motivation and healthy development which has been under development for more than three decades (Deci & Ryan, 2000). As the contributions will make clear, psychological autonomy is a concept that forms the bridge between the dependence of human behavior on biological and socio-cultural determinants on the one side, and people’s ability to be free, reflective, and transforming agents who can challenge these dependencies, on the other. The authors within this volume share a vision that human autonomy is a fundamental pre-condition for both individuals and groups to thrive, and that without understanding the nature and mechanisms of autonomous agency vital social and human problems cannot be satisfactory addressed. This multidisciplinary team of researchers will collectively explore the nature of personal autonomy, considering its developmental origins, its expression within relationships, its importance within groups and organizational functioning, and its role in promoting to the democratic and economic development of societies. The book is aimed toward developmental, social, personality, and cross-cultural psychologists, towards researchers and practitioners’ in the areas of education, health and medicine, social work and, economics, and also towards all interested in creating a more sustainable and just world society through promoting individual freedom and agency. This volume will provide a theoretical and conceptual account of the nature and psychological mechanisms of personal motivational autonomy and human agency; rich multidisciplinary empirical evidence supporting the claims and propositions about the nature of human autonomy and capacities for self-regulation; explanations of how and why different psychological and socio-cultural conditions may play a role in promoting or undermining people’s autonomous motivation and well-being, discussions of how the promotion of human autonomy can positively influence environmental protection, democracy promotion and economic prosperity.

From today’s vantage point it can be denied that the confidence in the abilities of globalism, mobility, and cosmopolitanism to illuminate cultural signification processes of our time has been severely shaken. In the face of this crisis, a key concept of this globalizing optimism as World Literature has been for the past twenty years necessarily is in the need of a comprehensive revision. World Literature, Cosmopolitanism, Globality: Beyond, Against, Post, Otherwise offers a wide range of contributions approaching the blind spots of the globally oriented Humanities for phenomena that in one way or another have gone beyond the discourses, aesthetics, and political positions of liberal cosmopolitanism and neoliberal globalization. Departing basically (but not exclusively) from different examples of Latin American literatures and cultures in globalized contexts, this volume provides innovative insights into critical readings of World Literature and its related conceptualizations. A timely book that embraces highly innovative perspectives, it will be a mustread for all scholars involved in the field of the global dimensions of literature.
