Study Notes
Motivation
- Motivation explains why we initiate, direct, intensify and persist in our behaviors
- Instinct doctrine states that our motives are instinctive, involuntary and unlearnt
- Drive reduction theory explains that motivation arises from imbalances in homeostasis, but doesn't account for curiosity
- Homeostasis maintains stable systems by adjusting to change
- Drive is a psychological state of arousal caused by imbalance in homeostasis, motivating us to restore balance
- Primary drives arise from basic biological needs
- Secondary drives arise through learning and can be as motivating as primary drives
- Arousal theory states that motivation is driven by maintaining an optimal level of arousal
- Incentive theory states that motivation is driven by attaining desirable stimuli (rewards), and avoiding unwanted stimuli (punishments), highlighting the role of external stimuli
Hunger and Eating
- Biological factors stimulate eating through glucose and insulin levels in the blood, hormonal signals, neurotransmitters affecting the hypothalamus, and stomach contractions
- Biological factors inhibit eating through hormones released in the bloodstream that act as neurotransmitters, affecting neurons in the hypothalamus
- Non-biological factors stimulate eating through sights and smells associated with previous experiences, family customs and social occasions
- Non-biological factors inhibit eating through societal values encouraging thinness, family customs and social occasions, and stress
Set point Theory
- Set point of eating refers to a state of homeostasis/balance/comfort
Biology of Sex
- Oestrogen, progestational hormones and androgens circulate in the bloodstream of both men and women, but differ in amounts
