Motivation and emotion and the society for the study of motivation: A joint venture

Abstract

Motivation and Emotion is pleased to become the official journal of the recently formed Society for the Study of Motivation (SSM). As regular readers of Motivation and Emotion know, this journal too is resurgent, mirroring our changing field. It is our hope that the association between Motivation and Emotion and the Society for the Study of Motivation will constitute a synergistic effort that supports rigorous empirical scholarship in motivational and affective processes that cuts across biological, psychological, and cultural perspectives and methods of inquiry. It is a joint venture to build more great science in an area of utmost importance to our disciplines, and to our world. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2012 APA, all rights reserved)
