Motivation: What Makes Us Act as We Do?
Motivation takes many forms, but all involve inferred mental processes that select and direct our behavior Copyright © Allyn & Bacon 2007

Mental processes that select and direct our behavior
Motivation Mental processes that select and direct our behavior Why We Do Things Copyright © Allyn & Bacon 2007

Urges that are mainly learned rather than biologically based
Motive The internal mechanism that selects and directs behavior Urges that are mainly learned rather than biologically based The desire to play video games The Need for Achievement Copyright © Allyn & Bacon 2007

Extrinsic Motivation Desire to engage in an activity to achieve an external consequence…like a reward The anticipation of a reward will continue to be a motivator even when the task holds little or no interest. An extrinsically motivated student may have no interest in the subject, but the possibility of a good grade is enough to keep the student motivated Copyright © Allyn & Bacon 2007

Unconscious Motivation
Having a desire to engage in an activity but being consciously unaware of the desire A talented basketball player who plays poorly in a game could unconsciously be punishing an over-demanding father or coach Freud: repressed desires, impulses, memories influence motivation Copyright © Allyn & Bacon 2007

Theories of Motivation
Instinct Theory Drive Theory: aka Drive Reduction Theory Cognitive Theory Psychodynamic Theory Maslows’s Humanistic Theory: Copyright © Allyn & Bacon 2007

View that certain behaviors are determined by innate factors
1. Instinct Theory View that certain behaviors are determined by innate factors Human actions such as ridiculing others can be thought to be akin to an animal attacking a younger animal of the same species to stop them from trying to become a leader in the pack. Copyright © Allyn & Bacon 2007

Organism are born with a set of biologically based behaviors that promote their survival
Problems with instinctual theories: Can not explain all of human behavior Example: jealousy, modesty, altruism, selfishness Copyright © Allyn & Bacon 2007

Fixed-Action Patterns
The concept of fixed-action patterns has replaced the older concept of ‘instincts’ Copyright © Allyn & Bacon 2007

Fixed-Action Patterns
Genetically based behaviors, seen across a species, that can be set off by a specific stimulus Yawning, whether seen, heard or both, then serves as a releaser in nearby animals Copyright © Allyn & Bacon 2007

2. Drive Theory Drive Reduction Theory
View that a biological need (an imbalance that threatens survival) produces a drive Fails to explain human actions that produced, rather than reduced, tension, such as rock climbing Copyright © Allyn & Bacon 2007

People actively determine their own goals and how to achieve them
3. Cognitive Theory Locus of Control An individual’s belief about their ability to control the events in our lives … internally or externally Copyright © Allyn & Bacon 2007

Outside influences control what happen
Locus of Control Internal LOC You control what happens to you If you study, you get a good grade External LOC Outside influences control what happen Good grades are due to luck or a biased teacher Copyright © Allyn & Bacon 2007

Virtually everything we do is based on one of these urges Since these urges are always building, we continuously need to find acceptable outlets for our sexual (artist creating art) and aggressive (sports) needs Georgia O'Keefe Copyright © Allyn & Bacon 2007

Maslow’s Self-Actualization
State of self-fulfillment in which people realize their highest potential in their own unique way Self-actualization is a state of self-fulfillment in which people realize their highest potential in their own unique way. Although at first Maslow suggested that self-actualization occurred in only a few, famous individuals, he later expanded the concept to encompass everyday people. For example, a parent with excellent nurturing skills who raises a family, a teacher who year after year creates an environment that maximizes students’ opportunities for success, and an artist who realizes her creative potential might all be self-actualized. The important thing is that people feel at ease with themselves and satisfied that they are using their talents to the fullest. In a sense, achieving self-actualization produces a decline in the striving and yearning for greater fulfillment that marks most people’s lives and instead provides a sense of satisfaction with the current state of affairs (Jones & Crandall, 1991).

As a result of the extrinsic incentive, the person views his or her actions as externally motivated rather than intrinsically appealing For example, when a child receives money for playing video games, they actually may play it less Overjustification Copyright © Allyn & Bacon 2007
