FOREWORD
This volume of the Advances in Motivation and Achievement series reflects
the growing interest in religion, indicated by the increasing number of ar-
ticles on the topic that have appeared in books and in major psychological
journals, including the American Psychologist. Much of this work has been
generated by scholars and practitioners in the area of mental health. The
interest of both editors in contextual and cultural influences on motivation
overtheyears,alongwithacurrentstresson‘‘faith-based’’socialinitiatives,
and a war that seriously represents a clash in religious perspectives all fig-
uredintoadecisiontoexaminetheobvious:religionhasbeen,andremains,
a motivational force in today’s world. The idea for composing this volume
in part emerged from Maehr’s experiences as a Pew Foundation fellow at
the Erasmus Institute at Notre Dame University and to his membership on
ThePewPsychologyPanel,chairedbyWilliamMillerandHaroldDelaney.

nick, Jeff Dansky, Barry Fish, Michael Harris, Pam Jacobs, John Knapp,
