Motivational Approaches in Social Psychology
James Shah
Description from DukeHub
Survey of motivational approaches in social psychology. Examines work on specific types of motivation (e.g., achievement, altruism, power) and the manner in which each may come to influence our actions, cognition and emotions. Also focuses on broader implications of motivational approaches for improving psychological health and well-being and for resolving interpersonal and social conflict.

The checks lean on Microsoft Research, Working with AI (2025), which found generative AI applies least to physical work and hands-on work with people. A signal, not a promise. How the score works
