Abstract: | Memorializes R. C. Bolles, who was best known for research on motivation and the analysis of fear and avoidance. Perhaps Bolles's greatest contribution was his book, Theory of Motivation. The book took a biological and historical perspective and emphasized the anticipation of goals, rather than the need for them, in explaining motivated behavior.
