Abstract

The principle that no action takes place without a motive, is the same as that there is no effect without a cause and the law of causation exists in the moral as well as the physical world. Yet the nature of the motives of our actions, and their origin, are not sufficiently understood. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved)
