/. motivation - Answer-set of factors that initiate and direct behavior
/.emotion - Answer-complex psychological event often associated with motivation;
involve a physiological reaction, expression reaction, or subjective experience
/.internal factors - Answer-consist of instincts and drive
/.instincts - Answer-unlearned characteristic patterns of responding that are controlled
by specific triggering stimuli in the world; not thought to be an important factor in
explaining goal-directed behavior in humans
/.primary drive - Answer-a psychological state that arises in response to an internal
physiological need, such as hunger or thirst
/.secondary drive - Answer-a drive learned by association with a primary drive (e.g. the
need for money)
/.homeostasis - Answer-the process through which the body maintains a steady steate,
such as a constant internal temperature or an adequate amount of fluids
/.proximate factors - Answer-causes of behavior that derive from an organism's
immediate internal or external environment
/.ultimate factors - Answer-causes of behavior that refer to evolutionaily adaptive
significance and reproductive consequences for the organism
/.incentive motivation - Answer-external factors in the environment-such as money, an
attractive person, or tasty food-that exert pulling effects on people's actions
/.achievement motive - Answer-a need that varies in strength across individuals; its
strength on any given task depends on (1) expectations about success and (2) how
much value a person places on succeeding at the task
/.intrinsic motivation - Answer-goal-directed behavior that seems to be entirely self-
motivated
/.need hierarchy - Answer-the idea popularized by Maslow that human needs are
prioritized in a hierarchy; some needs, esp. physiological ones, must be satisfied before
others, such as the need for achievement or self-actualization, can be pursued
/.glucose - Answer-a kind of sugar that cells require for energy production
, /.insulin - Answer-a hormone released by the pancreas that helps pump nutrients in the
blood into the cells, where they can be stored as fat or metabolized into needed energy
/.leptin - Answer-a hormone that may regulate the amount of energy stored in fat cells
/.ventromedial hypothalamus - Answer-a portion of the hypothalamus that, when
lesioned, causes an animal to typically overeat and gain a large amount of weight; once
thought to be a kind of "stop eating," or satiety, centre in the brain; its role in eating
behavior is currently unknown
/.lateral hypothalamus - Answer-a portion of the hypothalamus that, when lesioned,
causes an animal to be reluctant to eat; probably plays some role in eating behavior; but
the precise role is unknown
/.set point - Answer-a natural body weight, perhaps produced by genetic factors, that
the body seeks to maintain; when body weight falls below the set point, people are
motivated to eat; when weight exceeds the set point, people feel less motivated to eat
/.anorexia nervosa - Answer-an eating disorder diagnosed when an otherwise healthy
person refuses to maintain a normal weight level because of an intense fear of being
overweight
/.bulimia nervosa - Answer-an eating disorder in which the principal symptom is binge
eating (consuming large quantities of food), followed by purging in which the person
voluntarily vomits or uses laxatives to prevent weight gain
/.sexual scripts - Answer-learned cognitive programs that instruct us on how, why, and
what to do in our interactions with sexual partners; their nature differs across gender
and may vary across cultures
/.sexual orientation - Answer-the direction of a person's sexual and emotional attraction:
homosexuality, heterosexuality, and bisexuality are all sexual orientations
/.facial-feedback hypothesis - Answer-the proposal that muscles in the face deliver
signals to the brain that are then interpreted, depending on the pattern, as a subjective
emotional state
/.polygraph - Answer-a device that measures various indexes of physiological arousal in
an effort to determine whether someone is telling a lie; the logic behind the test is that
lying leads to greater emotionality, which can be picked up through such measures of
arousal as heart rate, blood pressure, breathing rate, and perspiration
/.James-Lange theory - Answer-a theory of emotion that argues that body reactions
precede and drive the subjective experience of emotions
