Deprivation of basic biological needs creates an unpleasant tension, hence motivating us to behave in a way to reduce this tension.
This is a description of:
Behaviourism
Drive reduction theory
Expectancy-Value theory
Goal-Setting Theory
Primary drives Secondary drives( Primary drives, Secondary drives ) are considered to be innate or biological, such as food, water or sex.
Secondary drives Primary drives( Secondary drives, Primary drives ) are learned through conditioning and learning, such as desire for wealth and social approval.
Expectancy-Value theory of motivation:
Takes into account a persons evaluation of a behavior and their judgement on its attainability
Claims that when we expect a behavior to satisfy a need (Hunger, Thirst) that we will place higher value on that behavior
States that conscious goals are expected outcomes that motivate our behavior.
Is able to predict life expectancy based on the value people place on certain behaviors.
Goal setting theory Expectancy-Value theory Drive-reduction theory Cognitive motivation theory( Goal setting theory, Expectancy-Value theory, Drive-reduction theory, Cognitive motivation theory ) claims that our goals are desired outcomes that direct our actions as humans and differ from our current situation.
Self-Determination theory proposes that we have three innate needs, those needs are:
Food
Autonomy
Water
Competence
Sex
Relatedness to others
In Maslows' hierarchy of needs, love and belonging are higher than esteem.
What are the features of the homeostatic systems providing us with biological motivation? (3 answers)
Set points
Feedback mechanisms
Corrective mechanisms
Theromostats
Sensors
Hypothalmus
Osmometric Volumetric( Osmometric, Volumetric ) thirst comes from deficits in intracellular extracellular( intracellular, extracellular ) water levels.
Volumetric Osmometric( Volumetric, Osmometric ) thirst arises from deficits in extracellular water levels.
What factors aside from homeostatic mechanisms regulate water intake? (3 answers)
Perception of water availability
Drinking schedules
Taste
Levels of anxiety
Levels of salt in water
Current mood of the organism
The glucostatic hypothesis claims that when blood-sugar levels drop, we become hungry.
Stimulation of the lateral ventromedial( lateral, ventromedial ) hypothalamus increases hunger.
Stimulation of the ventromedial lateral( ventromedial, lateral ) hypothalamus decreases hunger.
Eating and Drinking causes dopamine release.
