Motivation
Motivation is a need or desire that
energizes behavior and directs it
towards a goal.

Perspectives on Motivation
Four perspectives used to explain motivation include the following:
1. Instinct Theory (replaced by the evolutionary perspective)
2. Drive-Reduction Theory3. Arousal Theory4. Hierarchy of Motives

Instincts & Evolutionary Psychology
Instincts are complex behaviors that have fixed patterns throughout different species
and are not learned (Tinbergen, 1951).

Drive Reduction Theory
When the instinct theory of motivation failed, it was replaced by the drive-
reduction theory. A physiological need creates an aroused tension state (a drive) that motivates an organism to satisfy the
need.
![Page 6: Motivation and Emotion Chapter 9. Motivation Motivation is a need or desire that energizes behavior and directs it towards a goal. Aron Ralston was motivated](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649e6b5503460f94b69655/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Incentive
Where our needs push, incentives (positive or negative stimuli) pull us in reducing our
drives.
A food-deprived person who smells baking bread(incentive) feels a strong hunger drive.

Arousal Theory
Human motivation aims to seek optimum levels of arousal, not to eliminate it.
Young monkeys and children are known to explore the environment in the
absence of a need-based drive.

A Hierarchy of Needs
Abraham Maslow (1970) suggested that
certain needs have priority over others. Physiological needs
like breathing, thirst, and hunger come
before psychological needs such as
achievement, self-esteem, and the need
for recognition.

Hunger
When are we hungry?
When do we eat?
When there is no food in our stomach.
When we are hungry.
How do we know when our stomach is empty?Our stomach growls. These are also called hunger pangs.
![Page 11: Motivation and Emotion Chapter 9. Motivation Motivation is a need or desire that energizes behavior and directs it towards a goal. Aron Ralston was motivated](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649e6b5503460f94b69655/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
The Physiology of Hunger
Stomach contractions (pangs) send signals to the brain making us aware of our hunger.
![Page 12: Motivation and Emotion Chapter 9. Motivation Motivation is a need or desire that energizes behavior and directs it towards a goal. Aron Ralston was motivated](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649e6b5503460f94b69655/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Stomachs Removed
Tsang (1938) removed rat stomachs, connected the esophagus to the small
intestines, and the rats still felt hungry (and ate food).

Body Chemistry & the Brain
Levels of glucose in the blood are monitored by
receptors (neurons) in the stomach,
liver, and intestines. They send signals to the hypothalamus in
the brain.
![Page 14: Motivation and Emotion Chapter 9. Motivation Motivation is a need or desire that energizes behavior and directs it towards a goal. Aron Ralston was motivated](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649e6b5503460f94b69655/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Hypothalamic Centers
The lateral hypothalamus (LH) brings on hunger (stimulation). Destroy the LH, and the animal has no interest in eating. The
reduction of blood glucose stimulates orexin in the LH, which leads rats to eat
ravenously.
![Page 15: Motivation and Emotion Chapter 9. Motivation Motivation is a need or desire that energizes behavior and directs it towards a goal. Aron Ralston was motivated](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649e6b5503460f94b69655/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Hypothalamic Centers
The ventromedial hypothalamus (VMH) depresses hunger (stimulation). Destroy the
VMH, and the animal eats excessively.

Set Point
Manipulating the lateral and the ventromedial hypothalamus alters the body’s “weight thermostat.” Heredity influences set
point and body type.
If weight is lost, food intake increases and energy expenditure decreases. If weight is
gained, the opposite takes place.
![Page 18: Motivation and Emotion Chapter 9. Motivation Motivation is a need or desire that energizes behavior and directs it towards a goal. Aron Ralston was motivated](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649e6b5503460f94b69655/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
The Psychology of Hunger
Memory plays an important role in hunger. Due to difficulties with retention, amnesia
patients eat frequently if given food (Rozin et al., 1998).
![Page 19: Motivation and Emotion Chapter 9. Motivation Motivation is a need or desire that energizes behavior and directs it towards a goal. Aron Ralston was motivated](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649e6b5503460f94b69655/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Taste Preference: Biology or Culture?
Body chemistry and environmental factors influence not only when we feel hunger
but what we feel hungry for!

Eating Disorders
Bulimia Nervosa: A disorder characterized by episodes of overeating, usually high-
calorie foods, followed by vomiting, using laxatives, fasting, or excessive exercise.

Reasons for Eating Disorders
1. Sexual Abuse: Childhood sexual abuse does not cause eating disorders.
2. Family: Younger generations develop eating disorders when raised in families in which weight is an excessive concern.
3. Genetics: Twin studies show that eating disorders are more likely to occur in identical twins rather than fraternal twins.

Obesity and Weight Control
Fat is an ideal form of stored energy and is readily available.
In times of famine, an overweight body was a sign of affluence.

A disorder characterized by being excessively overweight. Obesity increases
the risk for health issues like cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, hypertension, arthritis, and back
problems.

Body Mass Index (BMI)
Obesity in children increases their risk
of diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease,
gallstones, arthritis, and
certain types of cancer, thus
shortening their life-expectancy.

Social Effects of Obesity
When women applicants were made to look overweight, subjects were less willing
to hire them.

Physiology of Obesity
Fat Cells: There are 30-40 billion fat cells in the body. These cells can increase in size (2-3 times their normal size) and number (75 billion) in an
obese individual (Sjöstrum, 1980).
![Page 30: Motivation and Emotion Chapter 9. Motivation Motivation is a need or desire that energizes behavior and directs it towards a goal. Aron Ralston was motivated](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649e6b5503460f94b69655/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Set Point and Metabolism
When reduced from 3,500 calories to 450 calories, weight loss was a minimal 6% and
the metabolic rate a mere 15%.
The obese defend their weight by conserving energy.

The Genetic Factor
Identical twin studies reveal that body weight has a genetic basis.

Activity
Lack of exercise is a major contributor to obesity. Just watching TV for two hours
resulted in a 23% increase of weight when other factors were controlled (Hu &
others, 2003).

Losing Weight
In the US, two-thirds of the women and half of the men say they want to lose
weight. The majority of them lose money on diet programs.

Plan to Lose Weight
When you are motivated to lose weight, begin a weight-loss program, minimize
your exposure to tempting foods, exercise, and forgive yourself for lapses.

Aiding Survival
Social bonds boosted our ancestors’ survival rates. These bonds led to the
following:
1. Protecting against predators, especially for the young.
2. Procuring food.3. Reproducing the next offspring.

Belongingness
1. Wanting to Belong: The need to belong colors our thinking and emotions.
2. Social Acceptance: A sense of belonging with others increases our self-esteem. Social segregation decreases it.
3. Maintaining Relationships: We resist breaking social bonds, even bad ones.
4. Ostracism: Social exclusion leads to demoralization, depression, and at times nasty behavior.

Theories of Emotion
Emotions are a mix of 1) physiological activation, 2) expressive behaviors, and
3) conscious experience.

Controversy
1) Does physiological arousal precede or follow your emotional experience?
2) Does cognition (thinking) precede emotion (feeling)?

James-Lange Theory
William James and Carl Lange proposed
an idea that was diametrically opposed to the common-sense
view. The James-Lange Theory proposes that
physiological activity precedes the
emotional experience.
![Page 44: Motivation and Emotion Chapter 9. Motivation Motivation is a need or desire that energizes behavior and directs it towards a goal. Aron Ralston was motivated](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649e6b5503460f94b69655/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Cannon-Bard Theory
Walter Cannon and Phillip Bard
questioned the James-Lange Theory and proposed that
an emotion-triggering stimulus
and the body's arousal take place
simultaneously.
![Page 45: Motivation and Emotion Chapter 9. Motivation Motivation is a need or desire that energizes behavior and directs it towards a goal. Aron Ralston was motivated](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649e6b5503460f94b69655/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Two-Factor Theory
Stanley Schachter and Jerome Singer
proposed yet another theory
which suggests our physiology and
cognitions create emotions. Emotions have two factors–physical arousal
and cognitive label.

Embodied Emotion
We know that emotions involve bodily responses. Some of these responses are very noticeable (butterflies in our stomach when fear arises), but others are more difficult to
discern (neurons activated in the brain).
![Page 47: Motivation and Emotion Chapter 9. Motivation Motivation is a need or desire that energizes behavior and directs it towards a goal. Aron Ralston was motivated](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649e6b5503460f94b69655/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Emotions and the Autonomic Nervous System
During an emotional experience, our autonomic nervous system mobilizes energy in the body that arouses us.
![Page 48: Motivation and Emotion Chapter 9. Motivation Motivation is a need or desire that energizes behavior and directs it towards a goal. Aron Ralston was motivated](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649e6b5503460f94b69655/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Arousal and Performance
Arousal in short spurts is adaptive. We perform better under moderate arousal,
but optimal performance varies with task difficulty.

Physiological Similarities
Physiological responses related to the emotions of fear, anger, love, and
boredom are very similar.
Excitement and fear involve a similarphysiological arousal.

Physiological Differences
Physical responses, like finger temperature and movement of facial muscles, change during fear,
rage, and joy.
The amygdala shows differences in activation during the emotions of anger and rage. Activity of the left hemisphere (happy) is different from
the right (depressed) for emotions.

Cognition and Emotion
What is the connection between how we think (cognition) and how we feel (emotion)?
Can we change our emotions by changing our thinking?

Cognition Can Define Emotion
An arousal response to one event spills over into our response to the next event.
Arousal from a soccer match can fuel anger, which may lead to rioting.

Cognition Does Not Always Precede Emotion
A subliminally presented happy face can encourage subjects to drink more than when
presented with an angry face (Berridge & Winkeilman, 2003).
Emotions are felt directly through the amygdala (a) or through the cortex (b) for
analysis.

Cognition Does Not Always Precede Emotion
When fearful eyes were subliminally presented to subjects, fMRI scans revealed
higher levels of activity in the amygdala (Whalen et al. 2004).

Two Routes to Emotion
Zajonc and LeDoux emphasize that some emotions are immediate, without conscious appraisal.
Lazarus, Schachter, and Singer emphasize that appraisal also determines emotions.

Expressed Emotion
Emotions are expressed on the face, by the body, and by the intonation of voice. Is this nonverbal language of emotion universal?

Detecting Emotion
Most of us are good at deciphering emotions through nonverbal
communication. In a crowd of faces a single angry face will “pop out” faster than
a single happy face (Fox et al, 2000).

Detecting Emotion
Hard-to-control facial muscles reveal signs of emotions you may be trying to conceal. A feigned
smile may continue for more than 4-5 seconds while a genuine smile will have faded by then.
Which of Paul Ekman’s smiles is genuine?

Gender, Emotion, and Nonverbal Behavior
Women are much better at discerning nonverbal emotions than men. When shown
sad, happy, and scary film clips women expressed more emotions than men.

Culture and Emotional Expression
When culturally diverse people were shown basic facial expressions, they did fairly well at
recognizing them (Matsumoto & Ekman, 1989).

Anger
Anger “carries the mind away,” (Virgil, 70-19 B.C.), but “makes any coward
brave,” (Cato 234-149 B.C.).
![Page 65: Motivation and Emotion Chapter 9. Motivation Motivation is a need or desire that energizes behavior and directs it towards a goal. Aron Ralston was motivated](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649e6b5503460f94b69655/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)
Causes of Anger
1. People generally become angry with friends and loved ones who commit wrongdoings, especially if they are willful, unjustified, and avoidable.
2. People are also angered by foul odors, high temperatures, traffic jams, and aches and pains.

Catharsis Hypothesis
Venting anger through action or fantasy achieves an emotional release or
“catharsis.”
Expressing anger breeds more anger, and through reinforcement it is habit-forming.

Happiness
People who are happy perceive the
world as being safer. They are able to make decisions easily, are more
cooperative, rate job applicants more
favorably, and live healthier, energized, and more satisfied
lives.

Feel-Good, Do-Good Phenomenon
When we feel happy we are more willing to help others.

Emotional Ups and Downs
Our positive moods rise to a maximum within 6-7 hours after waking up. Negative
moods stay more or less the same throughout the day.

Emotional Ups and Downs
Over the long run, our emotional ups and downs tend to balance. Although grave
diseases can bring individuals emotionally down, most people adapt.

Wealth and Well-being
Many people in the West believe that if they were wealthier, they would be
happier. However, data suggests that they would only be happy temporarily.

Wealth and Well-being
1. In affluent societies, people with more money are happier than people who struggle for their basic needs.
2. People in rich countries are happier than people in poor countries.
3. A sudden rise in financial conditions makes people happy.
However, people who live in poverty or in slums are also satisfied with their life.

Does Money Buy Happiness?
Wealth is like health: Its utter
absence can breed misery, yet having it is no guarantee of
happiness.

Happiness & Satisfaction
Subjective well-being (happiness + satisfaction) measured in 82 countries shows Puerto Rico and Mexico (poorer
countries) at the top of the list.

Happiness & Prior Experience
Adaptation-Level Phenomenon: Like the adaptation to brightness, volume, and touch, people adapt to income levels. “Satisfaction
has a short half-life” (Ryan, 1999).

Happiness is not only relative to our past, but also to our comparisons with others. Relative Deprivation is the perception that we are relatively worse off than those we compare ourselves with.
