Contrary to the myths with which we have been raised, Kohn shows that competition is not an inevitable part of human nature. It does not motivate us to do our best. Rather than building character, competition sabotages self-esteem and ruins relationships. Kohn argues that we need to restructure our institutions so that one person's success does not depend on another's failure. For this revised edition, he adds a detailed account of how students can learn more effectively by working cooperatively in the classroom instead of struggling to be Number One.--From publisher description. 001387876 650_0 $$aCompetition (Psychology) 001387876 650_0 $$aCooperativeness. 001387876 650_0 $$aAggressiveness. 001387876 650_0 $$aSocial interaction$$zUnited States. 001387876 650_2 $$aAggression.$$0(DNLM)D000374 001387876 650_2 $$aCompetetive Behavior. 001387876 650_2 $$aCooperative Behavior.$$0(DNLM)D003299 001387876 650_2 $$aInterpersonal Relations.$$0(DNLM)D007398 001387876 650_7 $$aAggressiveness.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst00800263 001387876 650_7 $$aCompetition (Psychology)$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst00871488 001387876 650_7 $$aCooperativeness.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst00878236 001387876 650_7 $$aSocial interaction.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst01122562 001387876 650_7 $$aWettbewerb$$2gnd$$0(DE-588)4065835-1 001387876 650_7 $$aAggression$$2gnd$$0(DE-588)4000732-7 001387876 650_7 $$aKooperation$$2gnd$$0(DE-588)4032386-9 001387876 650_7 $$aSozialpsychologie$$2gnd$$0(DE-588)4055891-5 001387876 65017 $$aWedijver.$$2gtt 001387876 65017 $$aMaatschappijkritiek.$$2gtt 001387876 65017 $$aSamenwerking.$$2gtt 001387876 65017 $$aCulturele aspecten.$$2gtt 001387876 650_7 $$aCOMPETENCIA (PSICOLOGIA)$$2renib 001387876 650_7 $$aAGRESIVIDAD (PSICOLOGIA)$$2renib 001387876 650_7 $$aINTERACCION SOCIAL.$$2renib 001387876 651_7 $$aUnited States.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst01204155 001387876 852__ $$bgen$$hHM291$$i.K634 1992 001387876 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1387876$$pGLOBAL_SET 001387876 980__ $$aBOOK 001387876 980__ $$aBIB
