Mastery Motivation in Early Childhood Development Measurement and Social Processes

Mastery Motivation in Early Childhood Development Measurement and Social Processes

All children possess a motive to ‘master’ the various tasks and problems that they face. Without mastery motivation it is doubtful whether children would make progress in cognitive social communicative and other domains. Although all children possess this motivation it will vary according to inherited dispositions and to environmental experiences. This makes mastery motivation a key factor in understanding later developmental and educational achievement. 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. New ideas are presented about the way mastery is related to other developmental processes such as self-concepts and attention. There are discussions and findings about innovations in the methods of assessing mastery. Another important theme present in this volume is the way in which features of social interaction attachment and the environment influence the development of mastery motivation. 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. | Mastery Motivation in Early Childhood Development Measurement and Social Processes

Robert Louis Stevenson and the Pictorial Text A Case Study in the Victorian Illustrated Novel

Robert Louis Stevenson and the Pictorial Text A Case Study in the Victorian Illustrated Novel

Robert Louis Stevenson and the Pictorial Text explores the genesis production and the critical appreciation of the illustrations to the fiction of Robert Louis Stevenson. Stevenson is one of the most copied and interpreted authors of the late nineteenth century especially his novels Treasure Island and Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. These interpretations began with the illustration of his texts in their early editions often with Stevenson’s express consent and this book traces Stevenson’s understanding and critical responses to the artists employed to illustrate his texts. In doing so it attempts to position Stevenson as an important thinker and writer on the subject of illustrated literature and on the marriage of literature and visual arts at a moment preceding the dawn of cinema and the rejection of such popular tropes by modernist writers of the early twentieth century. | Robert Louis Stevenson and the Pictorial Text A Case Study in the Victorian Illustrated Novel
