The Meaning of Behaviour By: J.R. Maze Publisher: Routledge Print ISBN: 9780367136666, 036713666X eText ISBN: 9780429639791, 0429639791 Edition: 1st Copyright year: 1983 Format: EPUB Available from $ 16.00 USD SKU 9780429639791R90 Originally published in 1983, this title is a determined attack on personality theories current at the time. It critically examines their basic motivational constructs and rejects any that invoke goal-seeking as being inescapably teleological and therefore unacceptable as natural science. Dr Maze argues the necessity for an unqualified determinism in psychology, yet one that incorporates the role of cognitive processes in the formation of behaviour. However, action theories which profess to offer a causal account of apparently goal-seeking or voluntarist behaviour by reference to the internal states of desire for a goal and a belief about how to get it are also dismissed.
