Psychology is seeking a comprehensive, integrative approach to understanding motivated human behavior; that is, one that covers action, thinking, feeling, and learning. Preferably that approach would be formal (e.g., mathematical). In this presentation several computational models, all based on a simple information processing structure called the self-regulatory agent, are presented to account for various well-known (e.g., the goal gradient effect [Hull, 1934]) and not so well-known phenomena (e.g., the discontinuous, nonmonotonic expectancy model [Vancouver, More, & Yoder, 2008]; the discrepancy-reversal effect [Schmidt & DeShon, 2007]) in the action and thinking domains. Extensions to learning and feeling are also described.
