Some constructs in motivation science are certainly underdeveloped and some motivation researchers may work with underspecified constructs, as suggested by Murayama and Jach (M&J). However, this is not indicative of a general problem in motivation science. Many motivation theories focus on specific mechanisms underlying motivated behavior and thus have already adopted the computational process perspective that M&J call for.
正如村山和贾赫(M&J)所指出的,动机科学中的一些概念确实尚未充分发展,一些动机研究人员可能使用定义不明确的概念。然而,这并不表明动机科学存在普遍问题。许多动机理论关注动机行为背后的特定机制,因此已经采用了村山和贾赫所倡导的计算过程视角。
