What moves people to action?
• Pursuit of pleasure and avoidance of pain – Counterproductive?
• Drug use? Studying?
![Page 3: Unit 8: Motivation WHY? .](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e675503460f94b62987/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Freud
• Basic sexual/ aggressive instincts operate unconsciously
– dreams – fantasies– slips of the tongue
![Page 4: Unit 8: Motivation WHY? .](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e675503460f94b62987/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Carl Rogers and Abraham Maslow
• Basic tendency toward growth to master our lives
![Page 5: Unit 8: Motivation WHY? .](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e675503460f94b62987/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Martin Seligman
• Emphasized cognitive factors in motivation and emotion
– How do you explain your successes and failures?
![Page 6: Unit 8: Motivation WHY? .](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e675503460f94b62987/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Human sexual nature?
• Shows relationship between psychological and biological– How did we go from caveman to Kimye?
![Page 7: Unit 8: Motivation WHY? .](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e675503460f94b62987/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
• Drives/Incentives/Homeostasis/Optimum Arousal
• Pushed by need and pulled by incentive
What does it all come down to?
Need(food/water)
Drive(hunger/thirst)
Drive-reducingbehavior
(eating/drinking)
![Page 8: Unit 8: Motivation WHY? .](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e675503460f94b62987/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Close your eyes…
• Think about the future– Hopes?– What do you see?
![Page 9: Unit 8: Motivation WHY? .](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e675503460f94b62987/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
What is hope?
• Agency: willpower or energy to get towards a goal (choice)
• Pathways: perceived ability to generate routes to achieve that goal
![Page 10: Unit 8: Motivation WHY? .](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e675503460f94b62987/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Hope Index
• • Add items 2, 9, 10, and 12 = agency• Add items 1, 4, 6, and 8 = pathways• Add agency + pathway
• Mean for each is 12.5 (total 25)
![Page 11: Unit 8: Motivation WHY? .](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e675503460f94b62987/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
• High on hope scale = pursue greater number of life goals and tend to be more successful in achieving those goals– Interpret obstacles as “life challenges” rather than
threats– React to obstacles with less stress and less
increase in blood pressure– Hopeful women report less pain in childbirth– Higher life satisfaction, self-esteem, optimistic
![Page 12: Unit 8: Motivation WHY? .](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e675503460f94b62987/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
So why are you here?
![Page 13: Unit 8: Motivation WHY? .](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e675503460f94b62987/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Motivation Theories
1. Evolutionary TheoryA. Early instinct theories: fixed, genetic programs
behavior
1. William James Principles of Psychology2. William McDougall – 18 Instincts3. Migrating behaviors and mating displays of birds4. Examples in human behaviors, including rooting,
sucking, and grasping
![Page 14: Unit 8: Motivation WHY? .](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e675503460f94b62987/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
B. ethology: relating behavior to features of environment
1. Nest building (inherited dispositions)2. Instincts reflect adaptation to environment3. Development and expression can vary
(seasons, food, mates)4. Sign stimuli shapes/triggers behavior
![Page 15: Unit 8: Motivation WHY? .](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e675503460f94b62987/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
C. Charles Darwin’s evolutionary theory
1. Natural selection2. Emotions are based on instincts
![Page 16: Unit 8: Motivation WHY? .](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e675503460f94b62987/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
D. Modern evolutionary psych: predispositions and probabilities, not instincts
1. Natural selection acts on genes expressed in particular circumstances
2. Selection takes place at the individual level; it is not “survival” in the literal sense
3. Behaviors adaptive in one time or place may not be adaptive to others (affluence and food choice)
![Page 17: Unit 8: Motivation WHY? .](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e675503460f94b62987/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
2. Arousal Theory
A. Motivation: to achieve and maintain a certain level of arousal
• Animals seek activities that create levels of physiological arousal
• Theories differ in assumptions about whether arousal is negative or positive
![Page 18: Unit 8: Motivation WHY? .](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e675503460f94b62987/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
B. Drive-reduction theory (Clark Hull)1. Behavior originates from physiological need for
food, water, air. • These needs create tension (irritation) away from
homeostasis• When needs are met (homeostasis), arousal is low;
needs give rise to drives
![Page 19: Unit 8: Motivation WHY? .](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e675503460f94b62987/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
• Drive: internal state of tension that motivates an organism to engage in activities that reduces tension
Temp. too low
Temp. too high

•Blood vessels in skin constrict to conserve heat•Person shivers•Turn up furnace•Put on sweater
![Page 20: Unit 8: Motivation WHY? .](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e675503460f94b62987/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
C. Animals are motivated to reduce the drive
• Behaviors (eating, drinking, breathing) reduce need by restoring homeostasis
• Behaviors are reinforced/strengthened thru drive reduction
• Acquired motivation: stimuli associated with drives become motivators; stimuli associated with drive reduction become rewarding
![Page 21: Unit 8: Motivation WHY? .](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e675503460f94b62987/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Optimal Arousal
• Why do we feel driven to experience stimulation?
• Why is there a variety?• Exploration Inventory• Sensation Seeking Inventory
![Page 22: Unit 8: Motivation WHY? .](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e675503460f94b62987/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
3. Optimal Arousal Theorya. Some nonzero level of arousal is optimal
• Arousal below optimal level motivates behavior to increase arousal
• Arousal above optimal level motivates behavior to decrease arousal
b. Individual differences– People vary in the ways they seek levels of arousal– Sensation-seeking is an aspect of personality related to
risky behavior
![Page 23: Unit 8: Motivation WHY? .](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e675503460f94b62987/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Just how sensation-seeking are you?http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iuv__-nyO1M
![Page 24: Unit 8: Motivation WHY? .](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e675503460f94b62987/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Four Types of Sensation Seeking• Peaks in late teens and early 20’s
– Higher in men than women/60% genetic• Categories:
1. Thrill and adventure seeking• Skydiving, bungee jumping, race car drivers
2. Experience seeking• Nonconforming lifestyle, reject middle-class lifestyle: unusual
friends, frequent travel, artistic expression
3. Disinhibition• Social drinking, partying
4. Boredom susceptibility• Restless: must… get… out… of… here….

4. Incentive Theory
• Motivation is produced by need for goal attainment
A. Need for goal attainment or achievement may be either intrinsic or extrinsic
• Feelings vs. material often tangible reinforcers
![Page 27: Unit 8: Motivation WHY? .](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e675503460f94b62987/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
B. Effect of external reward on intrinsic motivation
1. Providing extrinsic reward for intrinsic motivated behavior can decrease interest in task
• Overjustification effect: Deci’s puzzle solving experiment
• Or school in general – what it was like to go to school in kindergarten vs. 11th or 12th grade
![Page 28: Unit 8: Motivation WHY? .](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e675503460f94b62987/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
C. Conditioned incentivesi. Cravings – thru learning environmental stimuli =
craving i. Watch someone eating popcorn = you want popcorn
ii. 2. Wanting – motivation to approach incentive• If you have a cold, you may want cold medicine but not
like it
![Page 29: Unit 8: Motivation WHY? .](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e675503460f94b62987/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
5. Cognitive Consistency Theory
• Motivation for thoughts to be consistent with behavior– Cognitive dissonance– Self-perception theory: an individual perceives his
or her own behavior and forms beliefs and attitudes that are consistent with it
![Page 30: Unit 8: Motivation WHY? .](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e675503460f94b62987/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Self Perception Theory
• A man is asked whether he likes wheat bread and replies, “I must like it; I’m always eating it.” His wife would say the same thing.
• Introspection/justification is a poor guide due to weak cues – Outside observer assumes another’s internal
states
![Page 31: Unit 8: Motivation WHY? .](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e675503460f94b62987/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
6. Humanistic Theory
A. Maslow’s Hierarchy of needs
B. Csikszentmihalyl’s flow1. deep, authentic involvement in meaningful
activities2. Requires skilled control over instinctive drives
![Page 32: Unit 8: Motivation WHY? .](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649e675503460f94b62987/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
