PSY 343 - THE SCIENCE OF SELF-REGULATION AND MOTIVATION

College of Arts and Sciences

Credit(s): 3

Why do some people have better self-control than others? Why do some people keep trying difficult tasks, while others give up easily? What strategies can help enhance student interest and motivation for various academic and career pursuits? In this course, we will explore answers to these and many other questions by surveying the latest scientific research on self-regulation and motivation from early childhood through emerging adulthood. We will examine intervention programs, classroom practices, and public policies. You will also learn strategies for improving your own self-regulation and motivation!
