George A. Morgan – Hua-Fang Liao – Józsa Krisztián (Eds): Assessing Mastery Motivation in Children Using the Dimensions of Mastery Questionnaire (DMQ)

In the book Assessing Mastery Motivation in Children Using the Dimensions of Mastery Questionnaire (DMQ) Morgan, Liao, and Józsa addressed the concept of mastery motivation, seeking clarity in the conceptual definition of challenges and strategies for applying motivation in classrooms clearly and directly. There were eight chapters in the book. In chapter one, the author summarizes current research on the concept of mastery motivation, which is most clearly demonstrated by children’s instrumental behaviors, es-pecially persistent attempts to master skills and solve problems, as well as expressive or affective behaviors, most notably enjoyment when solving problems (Barrett & Morgan, Hwang et al., 2017).
