Adolescence is a journey to adulthood. This book seeks to examine the ways in which young people navigate through this period of their lives, and the consequences their efforts have on their well-being and problem behaviours. In twelve chapters, European researchers will conceptualize, present data and discuss the following: 1) the explorations and commitments adolescents construct as tools with which to direct their lives across the diversity of pathways to adulthood 2) the kinds of identities and self-concepts they develop during this process 3) the role of significant others, such as parents and peers, play in this navigation through adolescence.

First published in 1998. Adolescent development and well-being are both affected by socio-political change, political violence, immigrant status and various types of cultural, social and institutional diversity. These are realities faced by many adolescents in Europe today. This book examines these circumstances, and also the impact of recent socio-political changes in Eastern Europe and conflicts in Northern Ireland. Adolescent identities are looked at, as well as the effects of prejudice towards immigrant youths from their host societies.

Oli kyse työelämästä, uuden oppimisesta tai harrastuksista, motivaation liikuttava voima on suuri.Mitkä asiat sinua motivoivat ja miksi? Mikä merkitys on motivaatiolla, kun teet erilaisia valintoja elämässäsi? Miksi ihmisillä on erilaisia tavoitteita ja pyrkimyksiä? Yksilön motivaatiota voidaan selittää niin henkilökohtaisilla tekijöillä kuin ympäristötekijöillä. Tässä motivaatiotieteen perusteoksessa aihetta lähestytään erityisesti hyvinvoinnin ja työelämän näkökulmasta. Kirjassa pohditaan muun muassa, mikä rooli motivaatiolla on työelämän muutoksissa, liikunnan parissa tai omia arvoja pohdittaessa. Kirjassa alan johtavat tutkijat ja asiantuntijat esittelevät uusinta tutkimustietoa ja kertovat, kuinka motivaatiopsykologiaa voi soveltaa myös käytännössä.3., täysin uudistettu painos. Teos on tehty korvaamaan aiempi Mikä meitä liikuttaa - Modernin motivaatiopsykologian perusteet -kirja.
