The Oxford Handbook of the Psychology of Competition, edited by Stephen M. Garcia, Avishalom Tor, and Andrew J. Elliot provides an interdisciplinary examination of how and why people compete across social, organizational, educational, cultural, and sporting contexts. Bringing together research from leading scholars, the book explores biological and evolutionary foundations of competition, competitive motivation and emotion, cognitive biases, decision-making, risk-taking, rivalry, social comparison, status, gender differences, and individual competitiveness. It also examines competition through neuroscience, psychobiology, personality psychology, organizational behavior, education, and sport psychology. By integrating findings from multiple areas of psychological science, the handbook helps readers understand both the benefits and potential costs of competitive environments. It is particularly useful for psychology students, researchers, academics, and professionals interested in social psychology, organizational behavior, motivation, decision-making, and the scientific study of competitive behavior.
