"Psychological Perspectives on Praise integrates existing psychological theory and research into one accessible volume and outlines an overarching perspective on praise and its effects, providing a comprehensive overview of a variety of topics relevant to praise, a central facet to social psychology. With contributions from leading scholars in the field, this book amalgamates diverse theoretical and empirical perspectives, and covers topics including, self-enhancement theory and self-determination theory. It also features discussion of motivation, narcissism, interpersonal relationships, and self-esteem, in a range of contexts, including children's learning at school and employee's commitment at work. The book concludes by suggesting that praise should be understood in its developmental and cultural context. Revealing that praise is a message rich in information about ourselves and our social environments, this book will be of interest to social, developmental, and educational psychologists, students in psychology and related disciplines, and practitioners including teachers, managers, and counselors who use praise in their daily practice"--
