Cardiovascular response refers to changes in parameters such as heart rate, blood pressure, and heart contraction in reaction to an event or set of events. The chapters in this book, authored by an international group of distinguished scientists, show that applied motivational research has considerable predictability, informing us about cardiovascular responses and highlighting conditions under which those responses might pose a health risk.The volume will appeal to scholars and practitioners in numerous specialty areas, including motivation, emotion, psychophysiology, medical/health psychology, social/personality psychology and human factors/ergonomics. It will be a vital research source and could serve as a text or supplement in classes that address motivational, psychophysiological and health issues.

He received his BA at the University of Texas in Austin and his PhD at the University of Kansas, and he did his postdoctoral training at the State University of New York at Stony Brook. Dr. Wright's research is concerned chiefly with determinants and cardiovascular consequences of effort. He has authored numerous publications, including research articles, book chapters, and books. He also has held numerous visiting academic appointments, including ones at the Max Planck Institute (Germany), the University of Bielefeld (Germany), the University of Erlangen amp ndash Nuremberg (Germany), the University of Geneva (Switzerland), the University of Maryland at College Park, the University of Missouri at Columbia, and the University of Texas at Austin. Dr. Wright's visits have been supported in part by the Fulbright Program, the German Academic Exchange Service, and the Swiss National Science Foundation. His research has been supported by various granting agencies, most notably the National Science Foundation. Dr. Wright currently serves as an associate editor for the journal Motivation and Emotion. Guido H. E. Gendolla, PhD, is a professor of psychology at the University of Geneva (Switzerland), where he holds the chair for motivation psychology and directs the Geneva Motivation Lab. He earned his diploma (corresponding to the MA) and his PhD in psychology at the University of Bielefeld (Germany). He earned his habilitation in psychology at the University of Erlangen amp ndash Nuremberg (Germany). Dr. Gendolla's research focuses on human motivation and affective states and is mainly concerned with psychophysiological processes. He has authored numerous publications, and his research has been supported by various grants from the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG, German Research Foundation) and the Swiss National Funds.
