Study Notes
Motivation Concepts
- Motivation drives actions to achieve goals and meet needs.
- Intrinsic motivation is driven by internal satisfaction, while extrinsic motivation involves external rewards or avoiding punishment.
- Drives arise from internal states when the body is out of balance.
- Goals are specific desired outcomes, and values are personal ideas that organize those goals.
Psychological Processes
- Individuals exhibit different emotional states influenced by their activities (e.g., feeling blue, excited).
- Motivation reflects the underlying psychological processes directing behavior.
- Social motives specifically relate to interpersonal dynamics and cultural norms.
Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs
- Needs are organized in a hierarchical structure with lower needs needing partial fulfilment before higher needs can motivate behavior.
- Self-actualization represents the highest level, focusing on personal potential and altruism.
- Criticisms include its inability to predict behaviors driven by higher-level needs without lower-level needs being met, and cultural variations in the expression of needs.
Core Social Motives (BUCET)
- Core social motives are inherent, universal driving forces that facilitate social interactions.
- Five essential motives include:
- Belonging: Desire for stable relationships.
- Understanding: Need to make sense of reality and communicate that understanding.
- Controlling: Desire for effectiveness within the social environment.
- Esteem: Need for self-worth and validation from others.
- Trusting: Expectation of a benevolent social world.
Self-Regulation
- Self-regulation relies on mental resources, which can be depleted through exertive efforts (ego depletion).
- Motivation can enhance self-regulatory capacity through rewards and incentives.
- Theories of willpower include "nonlimited-resource" and "limited-resource" perspectives regarding ego depletion.
- Cultural differences can affect self-regulation, with some cultures perceiving self-regulatory tasks as energizing rather than draining.
Cultural Influences on Motivation
- Culture shapes what individuals strive for (ideal states like wisdom or athleticism).
- Different cultures express psychological needs uniquely, affecting food preferences and emotional expressions tied to consistency and control.
- Esteem motives differ across cultures; individualistic cultures value personal achievements, while collectivistic cultures emphasize group harmony and relationships.
