Abstract

The goal of this special issue of the Hungarian Educational Research Journal (HERJ) is to provide a broad up-to-date overview of the current state of research about the important concept of mastery motivation, which is shown by a person’s persistent attempts to solve problems and master skills and by his or her pleasure when solving problems. This special issue provides new research on mastery motivation in Hungary, the US, Taiwan, Malaysia, Bangladesh, Iran, and Australia, with several articles comparing mastery motivation in two or more of these countries. The articles cover a broad age span from infants to young adults and describe several methods for assessing mastery motivation, including new and revised methods.
