Abstract
Abstract The study of motivational psychology has been hampered in the field of education because of the concentration upon learning. Furthermore, much of the research assumes a mechanistic concept of man that is not conducive to progress in this area. A number of research problems are recommended that overcome the motivation‐learning limitation and also assume a more cognitive view of man. The problem areas include the study of intermediate difficulty, intentions, intrinsic versus extrinsic motivation, stages in achievement behavior, the building of effort structures and learned helplessness, causal attributions for success and failure, long‐term motivational consequences, and achievement strivings among females.
