Study Notes
Motivation Types
- Extrinsic motivation involves external factors or rewards that drive behavior.
- Intrinsic motivation is driven by internal feelings and personal satisfaction, independent of external rewards.
Emotion Theories
- According to the Schachter-Singer two-factor theory, emotions consist of physiological responses and cognitive appraisals, integrating body reactions with mental interpretation.
Understanding Motivation
- Motivation is the wants or needs that direct behavior toward achieving specific goals, influencing decision-making and persistence.
Instincts
- An instinct is a natural, inherent behavior; for example, an infant's instinct to suck demonstrates automatic responses vital for survival.
Intrinsic vs. Extrinsic Motivation Examples
- Intrinsically motivated behavior: attending religious services out of personal belief and conviction.
- Extrinsically motivated behavior: babysitting for parental approval showcases actions driven by external validation.
Habits
- A habit is a routine behavior performed automatically, such as chewing on hair to cope with stress, reflecting repetitive actions ingrained over time.
Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs
- The esteem level of needs in Maslow's hierarchy includes self-worth, accomplishment, and confidence, essential for personal development.
- The security level encompasses safety and employment, vital for stability and protection, preceding higher-level psychological needs.
The Need for Achievement
- The need for achievement drives individuals, such as completing multiple degrees to accumulate accomplishments, emphasizing the human desire for success.
Impact of Extrinsic Reinforcement
- Research indicates that extrinsic reinforcement for enjoyable activities may diminish the intrinsic enjoyment of those activities over time.
Eating Disorders Comparison
- Anorexia nervosa is characterized by starvation and an intense fear of weight gain, while bulimia nervosa is marked by episodes of binge eating followed by compensatory behaviors.
Drive Theory
- Drive theory posits that deviations from homeostasis create physiological needs, prompting individuals to act to restore balance to their internal state.
Intrinsic Motivation Resilience
- Studies suggest that intrinsic motivation may be partially resistant to extrinsic reinforcements, with positive feedback potentially enhancing intrinsic drive rather than diminishing it.
