Divided into five chapters, this book: considers the logical development and structure of a proposed theory of social motivation and justice; reviews meta-analytic tests of the theory within the contexts of help giving and aggression and examines issues related to cultural and individual differences; focuses on moral emotions including an analysis of admiration, envy, gratitude, jealousy, scorn, and others; discusses conditions where reward decreases motivation while punishment augments strivings; and provides applications that are beneficial in the classroom, in therapy, and in training programs. "Social Motivation, Justice, and the Moral Emotions" appeals to practicing and research psychologists and advanced students in a variety of fields including social, educational, personality, political/legal, health, and clinical psychology. It will also serve as a supplement in courses on motivational psychology, emotion and motivation, altruism and/or pro-social behavior, aggression, social judgment, and morality. Also included is the raw material (e.g., questionnaires, surveys, etc.) for 13 experiments relating to core predictions of the proposed attribution theory.  less
