Self-theories: Their role in motivation, personality, and development
这本书能帮大家梳理一下“个人”或者“自己”这个概念，与工作动机、性格和未来发展的关系。毕竟每当我们提到组织行为学中的动机理论、性格区分（Big Five）这些概念的时候，我们都不可避免的应用了“自我”的一些概念——因为动机、性格等等都是以一个人为中心而衍生出来的概念。希望这本书对大家有所帮助，也欢迎大家留言一起讨论。




Review

"Based on extensive research with children and young adults, this book examines adaptive and maladaptive cognitive-motivational patterns and shows how these patterns originate in people's self theories; their consequences for one's achievment, social relationships, and emotional well-being; thier consequences for society; and the experiences that create these cognitive-motivational patterns."
-"Resources in Education
"What we have here is no ordinary scholarly psychology volume. Ever so rarely, we are offered a psychology book that is so beautifully written, lucidly organized, and elegant in its description of ideas.... I see many uses for this wonderful volume. Instead of having to put together a rather large stack of reprints to introduce students to her groundbreaking work, I now can refer them to something far better -- the author's view of how her work has developed over the years."
-"Journal of Social and Clinical Psychology
"[This book] describes pathbreaking research in a style that is accessible to many audiences. It calls into question some of the most widely-held beliefs . . . about effective practices for maximizing children's self-confidence and learning."
-Deborah Stipek, "UCLA
"The book is central to basic issues in social, personality, and developmental psychology. Indeed, it is like a guided tour through the scenic terrain of Carol's fascinating program of research. The writing is lively and engaging and the organization is unusually clear. The examples are well-chosen and intuitively compelling; they are easy to relate to our own lives and to the people that we know."
-Diane N. Ruble, "New York University
"[This book] is simply among the best book in psychology I've read during the past year or two. It's superb. . . I could hardly put [it] down."
-Robert J. Sternberg, "Yale University
