Motivation And Emotion

Journal Title：Motivation And Emotion

Motivation and Emotion publishes articles on human motivational and emotional phenomena that make theoretical advances by linking empirical findings to underlying processes. Submissions should focus on key problems in motivation and emotion, and, if using non-human participants, should contribute to theories concerning human behavior.  Articles should be explanatory rather than merely descriptive, providing the data necessary to understand the origins of motivation and emotion, to explicate why, how, and under what conditions motivational and emotional states change, and to document that these processes are important to human functioning.A range of methodological approaches are welcome, with methodological rigor as the key criterion.  Manuscripts that rely exclusively on self-report data are appropriate, but published articles tend to be those that rely on objective measures (e.g., behavioral observations, psychophysiological responses, reaction times, brain activity, and performance or achievement indicators) either singly or combination with self-report data.The journal generally does not publish scale development and validation articles.  However, it is open to articles that focus on the post-validation contribution that a new measure can make.  Scale development and validation work therefore may be submitted if it is used as a necessary prerequisite to follow-up studies that demonstrate the importance of the new scale in making a theoretical advance.

《动机与情感》发表有关人类动机和情感现象的文章，通过将实证研究结果与潜在过程联系起来取得理论进展。投稿应关注动机和情感中的关键问题，如果使用非人类参与者，则应为有关人类行为的理论做出贡献。文章应该是解释性的而不是仅仅描述性的，提供理解动机和情感起源所需的数据，阐明动机和情感状态发生变化的原因、方式和条件，并记录这些过程对人类功能的重要性。欢迎采用各种方法，以方法严谨性为关键标准。完全依赖自我报告数据的稿件是合适的，但已发表的文章往往是那些依赖客观指标（例如行为观察、心理生理反应、反应时间、大脑活动和表现或成就指标）的文章，单独使用或与自我报告数据结合使用。该期刊通常不发表量表开发和验证文章。然而，它对那些关注新测量方法在验证后所作贡献的文章开放。因此，如果量表开发和验证工作是后续研究的必要先决条件，可以提交这些工作，以证明新量表在理论进步中的重要性。
