Dunning has assembled an outstanding collection of chapters about three important social motives: belonging, helping others, and gaining and exerting influence and power. Each chapter casts an illuminating and cutting-edge light on longstanding questions about the nature and impact of these social motives. Researchers and students will find this volume a valuable resource for information about existing research and ideas for future research. - Harry T. Reis, Professor of Psychology, University of Rochester As this excellent volume makes clear, motivation doesn't come only from physical or economic needs. It flows as well from social factors that importantly shape human responding. What makes this book so valuable is that each set of contributors shows us that the impact of these social factors is both powerful and predictable. - Robert B.
