Study Notes
Social Motives
- The need for achievement: mastering difficult challenges, outperforming others, and meeting high standards of excellence
- The need for affiliation: associating with others and maintaining social bonds
- The need for intimacy: wanting good interpersonal relations and close exchanges with significant others
- The need for power: influencing or controlling others and having an impact
Biological Motives
- Hunger and eating: controlled by the hypothalamus, influenced by blood glucose, insulin, and leptin
- Obesity: 20% of Canadians are obese, related to prevalence of diabetes, heart disease, muscle pain, and hypertension
- Heritability of weight: identical twins more similar in body mass index than fraternal twins, suggesting genetic factors account for variation in propensity to become overweight
- Eating disorders: anorexia nervosa and bulimia, influenced by media and cultural values, family dynamics, and emotional factors
Sexual Motivation
- Evolution and mating priorities: parental investment theory, gender disparities in mating preferences
- Sexual orientation: heredity (genetics), prenatal exposure to certain hormones affect brain organization, and same-sex attraction as an endpoint on a continuum

- Motives: needs, wants, and interests that propel people in certain directions
- Maslow's Model: self-actualization, physiological needs, safety, love and belonging, esteem, and self-actualization
- Criticisms of Maslow's theory: lower needs not necessarily fulfilled to access higher order needs, universality of the order, needs for autonomy, power, and altruism not considered
