Runners on road toward mountains

Welcome to SVSU Motivate!

SVSU students helping SVSU students to understand our motivations. Students in Dr. Joe Weaver's PSYC 330 Motivation course form teams and pick a motivational topic that they want to learn more about and to help educate others. They work all semester reading peer-reviewed scholarly work, having conversations, and writing to produce the work you'll find here.

In the inaugrual post, we will feature articles on burn out, addiction, and group dynamics, to name a few. We hope that our readers will gain insights into their own motivations in these areas and use the information to help improve their lives and those around them. The collection will grow each year with new topics and new perspectives, so please check back each winter. If you have questions for the writers, you can get in touch via the contact page.

If you're new to human motivation, you should start with our primer article: What is Motiavtion?
