Study Notes
Motivation
- Motivation is a need, desire, or condition that energizes and directs behavior.
- It is experienced subjectively as a conscious desire for biological drives (e.g., hunger, thirst), security, appreciation, affection, or achievement.
- Motivation can be directed or controlled according to one's choice.
Types of Motivation
- Intrinsic motivation: motivation that comes from within a person.
- Extrinsic motivation: motivation that comes from external factors.
Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs
- Includes needs such as breathing, food, water, sleep, and homeostasis.
- Also includes needs for security, friendship, and family.
Motivational Interviewing
- Motivational Interviewing (MI) consists of having productive conversations with patients about behavior change.
- It can be used by all medical and healthcare professionals, besides counselors.
- MI is not a technique for tricking people into doing what they do not want to do.
- Patients are never totally unmotivated.
