Why do we do what we do, and why do we feel what we feel? This course provides an overview of theory and research on motivation and emotion, with an emphasis on how emotion contributes to goal-directed behaviors, and vice versa. We will examine these processes from a variety of psychological perspectives (e.g., biological, clinical, developmental, social). This course will provide you with tools for understanding and regulating motivation and emotion, both interpersonally and within yourself.
