Motivation

Motivation – process of guiding & maintaining
behavior to reach a desired goal
Copyright © 2016 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved
Biological Theories (1 of 4)


Instinct theory – suggests humans are driven by
genetically-determined factors
Based on Darwin’s theory of natural selection

animals engage in unlearned behaviors that increase
chances of survival


mating, hunting, protecting, and homebuilding
Basis of modern evolutionary psychology

Biological Theories (2 of 4)

Drive reduction theory – internal tension
created by unmet biological needs is the force
behind many of our actions
 drive

– the state of tension
Centers on the concept of homeostasis
 body
is constantly trying to maintain an internal
state of balance

characterized by looking for intense, novel,
and varied experiences
 seen
in early childhood, and predicts impulsive
behavior
 dopamine
and genetics play a role

Learning Theories (1 of 5)

Include tangible incentives and rewards from
others, called social rewards

Learning Theories (3 of 5)


Expectancy-value theory – view that it is
critical to examine the meaning or worth a
person places on a particular reward
Suggests motivation is a combination of:
1.
How much a person values the goal
2.
Expectation of obtaining it

Learning Theories (4 of 5)


Social motives – strong need to bond with
other human beings
Taught by family, society, and culture
 Examples:
affiliation, aggression, achievement,
dominance, approval, and power
Copyright © 2016 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved
Learning Theories (5 of 5)

Two distinct goal systems of social motives:
social motives – direct us toward
seeking positive social rewards

social motives – drive us to
behaviors in order to move away from negative
social consequences
 Avoidance

Humanistic Theories (1 of 4)

Humanistic perspective suggests:
 Humans
have a natural, in-born drive toward
personal growth and fulfillment
 Need
for personal growth forms the basis of
personality and motivation
Copyright © 2016 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved
Humanistic Theories (2 of 4)

Maslow’s hierarchy of needs
 Depicted
as a pyramid in which more basic needs
must be met prior to higher needs
 Physiological
and safety needs at the bottom
 Psychological
 Esteem
needs in the middle
needs at the top
– becoming everything one is
capable of becoming
 Self-actualization

Humanistic Theories (3 of 4)

Self-determination theory – humans are
proactive & have a natural tendency toward
self-motivation
 Intrinsic
motivation - to do things based on the
how it feels internally.
 Ex:
For enjoyment or fun
motivation – desire to do something
stems from outside rewards
 Extrinsic
 Ex:
money or praise

Hunger

Hunger – the drive to seek food
 Has
biological, psychological, social, & cultural
elements
 Sensation
usually described as a physical one
 Homeostatically
regulated
 The
result of a combination of bodily signals and
mechanisms
Copyright © 2016 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved
Physiology of Hunger

Stomach is lined with neurons that:

the level of nutrients in your stomach
 Determine
 receptors
whether it is empty or stretched full
pass the information to the brain

Physiology of Hunger
Copyright © 2016 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved
Brain Signals

Hypothalamus (key brain structure involved in
hunger)

Three key areas:
 Lateral
hypothalamus – recognizes hunger
hypothalamus – involved in the
feeling of fullness.
 Ventromedial
hypothalamus – regulates
hunger by triggering the release of hormones
 Paraventricular
Copyright © 2016 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved
Environmental Factors in the
Regulation of Hunger


Organisms consume more food when

it is palatable

more is available

when there is greater variety

in the presence of others
Environmental cues, such as advertisements for
food, can also promote eating.
Copyright © 2016 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved
Hormonal Signals (1 of 3)

Blood sugar subsystem is one way hunger is
regulated
– simple sugar converted from food that
provides the main source of energy for the cells in
the body
 Glucose
– secreted by the pancreas and plays a
role in regulating the metabolism or conversion of
fats and carbohydrates
 Insulin
Copyright © 2016 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved
Hormonal Signals (2 of 3)

Digestive hormones
– hormone produced by the stomach
typically secreted between meals that sends
hunger signals to the brain
 Ghrelin
 Cholecystokinin
(CCK) – hormone released that
signals fullness
Copyright © 2016 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved
Hormonal Signals (3 of 3)

Stress-Leptin subsystem
point – the weight the body naturally
maintains
 Set
 influences
metabolic rate and hunger level
– hormone present in fat cells that
communicates with the brain about long–range
food needs based on energy stores
 Leptin

Common Eating Disorders (1 of 3)

Obesity
– weighing 20% or more than what's
appropriate for a given height

Emotion

Emotion – feeling state involving physiological
arousal, thoughts, and changes in outward
expression
Copyright © 2016 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved
Early Theories of Emotion (1 of 2)
1.
2.
James-Lange theory – suggests emotions
register in the brain after physiological
changes in the body occur
Cannon-Bard theory – suggests changes in
the body happen at the same time as the
emotional experience
Copyright © 2016 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved
Early Theories of Emotion (2 of 2)
3.
Two-factor theory – argues that both
physiological arousal and a cognitive label
are needed before an emotion is registered

stimulus is transferred to another
 excitation

Three Classic Theories of Emotion
Copyright © 2016 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved
Theories of Emotion


Dual pathway model – suggests brain uses two
different pathways for processing emotions

low road is largely unconscious; emotions happen
automatically and without a lot of thought

high road involves conscious thought and arises from
appraising the situation
Includes important elements from all three of the
earlier theories

The Unconscious Emotional System

Low road to emotion involves both the limbic
system and autonomic nervous system
 systems
allow humans to respond quickly to
threatening or dangerous situations
Copyright © 2016 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved
Role of the Limbic System (1 of 2)

Especially involved in emotions related to
survival
 fear
and anger in response to danger
 feelings
of pleasure derived from eating and sex
Copyright © 2016 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved
Role of the Limbic System (2 of 2)

Amygdala “tastes” incoming stimuli
 Takes
in just enough to be able to react
immediately to danger and threat
 Passes
information to the cortex where potential
threat is considered
Copyright © 2016 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved
Role of the Autonomic Nervous System

Each emotion has unique pattern of autonomic
nervous system response
 anger
and fear usually associated with increased
heart rate and body temperature

Parasympathetic rebound – parasympathetic
system overcompensates by slowing blood
pressure too much during extreme emotional
stress

Detecting Lies

Polygraphs are not all that accurate in assessing
individuals’ veracity.
Copyright © 2016 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved
The Role of Cognitive Appraisal


Conscious recognition of an emotion occurs in
the cortex
Cognitive appraisal – personal interpretation
of a situation
 accounts
for people’s different emotional
reactions to the same event
 used
in therapies to help people with emotional
and mood-related problems
