Opis

All children possess a motive to ‘master’ the various tasks and problems that they face. Concentrating on pre-school children, this volume, originally published in 1993, brought together current research work and thinking concerned with mastery motivation at the time. With a broad range of international contributors, this title will still be of interest to developmental psychologists and educationalists, and advance students in these fields.
