Examples of extrinsic motivation:

· Working on getting paid

· Doing chores to avoid punishment

· Studying for an exam to get a good grade

· Exercising to lose weight

Examples of intrinsic motivation:

· Reading a book for fun

· Going for a hike because you enjoy walking and exploring

· Completing a course in cake preparation because you enjoy baking

· Learning a new language for fun

Needs and goals are constantly changing in response to the individual’s condition, the environment, interactions with other people, and one’s own experiences. As some goals are achieved, new ones are developed.

Motivation does not stop/cease, in part, because:

· Needs are never fully satisfied.

· New needs arise as others are satisfied.

· Success and failure influence future goals.

There are different kinds of needs, and they may vary by person, but in general, they are divided between physiological and psychological needs. See figure 2).

Module 6:

Lecture Content – Motivation and Emotion

Motivation and Emotion

To discuss motivation, consider what drives and activates behavior and where that energy comes from. Motivation and emotion are important in our daily interactions with others, how we respond to different provocations, and what we learn from these experiences. On the other hand, emotions are feelings caused by cognitive or physiological stimuli influencing our behavior.

According to the American Psychological Association (APA, 2020), motivation and emotion are defined as follows:

”

Motivation

is the impetus that gives purpose or direction to behavior and operates in humans at a conscious or unconscious level. Motives are frequently divided into (a) physiological, primary, or organic motives, such as hunger, thirst, and need for sleep; and (b) personal, social, or secondary motives, such as affiliation, competition, and individual interests and goals. An important distinction must also be drawn between internal motivating forces and external factors, such as rewards or punishments, that can encourage or discourage certain behaviors.

Emotion

is a complex reaction pattern involving experiential, behavioral, and physiological elements by which individual attempts to deal with a personally significant matter or event. The specific significance of the event determines the specific quality of the emotion.

Emotion typically involves feeling but differs from feeling in having an overt or implicit engagement with the world

“.

· Success and failure influence future goals.

There are different kinds of needs, and they may vary by person, but in general, they are divided between physiological and psychological needs. See figure 2).

Abraham Maslow is well known for his contributions to the field of Psychology. He proposed the

Hierarchy of Needs (

see figure 3), which addressed the concept of motivation and needs. The hierarchy was based on four main principles:

1. All human beings acquire a set of similar needs through genetics and social interaction.

2. Some needs are basic and crucial.

3. Basic needs must be satisfied to a minimum level before other needs are activated.

4. When basic needs are met, more advanced needs come into play.

Figure 3: Maslow’s classic hierarchy of needs (Maslow, 1970)

Current research in motivation topics reflects the need for a comprehensive picture of how different types of motivation fit and function together to produce behavior (Murayama, 2018).
