Abstract

The major metaphorical themes in motivation are reviewed and associated with psychological theories and characteristic research. The history of motivation is construed as reflecting two major metaphors: The person is a machine, and the person is Godlike. In addition, a new submetaphor is proposed as directing current thinking in the field: The person is a judge. This comparison supplements the submetaphor guiding attribution theory, namely, the person is a scientist. Both comparisons, the judge and the scientist, are comprised within the more inclusive metaphor of the person as Godlike.

动机与归因中的隐喻。

本文回顾了动机研究中的主要隐喻主题，并将其与心理学理论和特征研究联系起来。动机的历史被解释为反映了两个主要的隐喻:人是机器，人是上帝。此外，本文还提出了一个新的子隐喻:人是一个法官。这种比较补充了指导归因理论的亚隐喻，即人是科学家。这两种比较，法官和科学家，都包含在一个更包容的比喻中，把人比喻成上帝。
