3. Module 11
Motivation

4. motivation
The need or desire energizing and moving behavior toward a goal
Why we do what we do

5. Historic explanations

6. Instinct theory Unlearned, preprogrammed behaviors Jealousy Curiosity
Cleanliness
Birds building nests
Dogs shaking off when they get wet
Instincts cannot explain all behaviors
Instincts cannot be readily observed and tested

7. Drive Reduction theory
Drives—states of tension that result from an internal imbalance
Ex: hunger (the drive to eat and need for food disappear after you eat)
Drive Reduction Theory—A physiological need creates motivation to satisfy a need
Doesn’t explain all motivations

8. Biological explanations

9. Arousal theories Arousal—a brain’s level of alertness
When our arousal levels drop below our individually mandated optimal levels, we seek out stimulation to elevate them.
Ex—too low and we might be motivated to go to a party with friends
Ex—too high and we might be motivated to take a nap or go for a walk
We all have DIFFERENT optimal levels of arousal
Yerkes-Dodson Law—arousal helps performance up to a point. For difficult tasks you should lower arousal but for simple tasks, higher arousal leads to optimal performance
Final Exams—Increased arousal can lead to better performance because you can be more focused and attendance. But excessive arousal can lead to anxiety and nervousness

10. Cognitive explanations

11. Extrinsic vs. intrinsic motivation
What motivates YOU?
Extrinsic—desire to perform a behavior because of a promised reward or threat of punishment
Examples?
Intrinsic—desire to perform a behavior for its own sake; because it’s fun or interesting

12. clinical explanations

13. Clinical psychologists

They do not rely on physiological data to determine motivators
They base their conclusions on info they have gathered in studies of individuals or groups
Abraham Maslow
Henry Murray

14. Achievement motivation
Why do some kids drop out of school and some don’t?
Why do some people camp out all night for a new TV?
Desire for
Significant accomplishment
Mastery of ideas, things, or people
Attaining a high standard

15. Maslow’s Hierarchy of needs
Recognizing that some needs take priority over others is what encouraged Maslow to design his hierarchy of needs
We must satisfy basic needs before the next level of needs can motivate us
Criticized because his sample was small, he selected his own subjects and the hierarchy cannot apply to every situation

16. Affiliation motivation
Need related to the need of love, friendship and cooperation
Stimulated by causes necessary to human survival and increases in uncertain or dangerous situations
High affiliation motivation can be related to high levels of extroversion and high self-concept
High affiliation motivation can also be related to LOW self-concept
High Affiliation Motivation—Conservatism, good heartedness, kindness, helping others, and trustfulness
Low Affiliation Motivation—Cruelty, suspicious, non cooperation, heartlessness
