Chapter 10: Motivation and Emotion
- Motivation: A need or desire that energizes and directs behavior
o Instinct Theory
 Instinct (Darwin and others)
 Fixed, unlearned pattern throughout species
 Genes predispose some species-typical behavior
 Drive-Reduction Theory
 Assumptions
o We have psychological needs
o Unmet needs create a drive
o That drive pushes the person to reduce the need
o Ex.
Need (food, water) => Drive (hunger, thirst) => Drive-reducing behaviors (eating,
drinking)
 Homeostasis- maintaining the same state, wanting to keep a constant/balance
 Incentive- reinforcement (positive/negative) that pulls towards a particular behavior; can
be used to maintain homeostasis
 Arousal Theory
 High arousal levels motivate engagement in behaviors that will lower these levels
 Low arousal levels motivate activities that can increase arousal – often through curiosity
 Difficult tasks with low arousal have high performance levels; easy tasks with high
arousal have high performance levels (Yerkes-Dodson law)
 Hierarchy of Needs (Maslow)
