1. What happened to Aron Ralston?

2. What is motivation?

3. In your words describe evolutionary perspective.

4. Another theory of motivation suggests that a psychological need, or drive, simply compels us to reduce that need. This is called the drive _________________________________ theory.

5. So a third theory. The theory of __________________________ arousal attempts to fill in some of those gaps. It suggests rather than just reducing a drive like hunger we're motivated to maintain a balance between stimulation and __________________________________.

6. American psychologist Abraham Maslow illustrated this shuffling of priorities in the mid-1900s with his famous "hierarchy of ________________________".

7. The sensation of hunger usually begins with a drop in your __________________________________ level.

8. What is your body’s primary source of energy?

9. Never underestimate the power behind what _______________________________ us. The need to survive, the need to belong, if you can harness that motivation, you can do just about ______________. Just ask Aron Ralston.

If you were motivated to learn today, hopefully you took in four theories of motivation, including the evolutionary perspective, drive reduction, optimal arousal, and Maslow's hierarchy of needs, and how sex, hunger, and the need to _________________- motivate us.

First- you perceive a stimulus.

Second- the stimulus triggers a physiological response.

Third-you interpret the body's changes as a specific emotion.

Ex. You see a bear in the woods you start running. Because you are running, you must be afraid.

2. Cannon Bard Theory developed by Walter Cannon and Philip Bard; states that we feel emotions and experience physiological reactions simultaneously (at the sam time).
3) Schachter-Singer Two-Factor Theory of Emotion (aka Schachter's Two-Factor Theory)

First, you perceive a stimulus. For ex. you are walking through the woods & you see a bear

Second the stimulus trigger BOTH physiological arousal and a cognitive label. When you see the bear your heart rate jumps & you begin to tremble, so you think I must be afraid.

In Schachter's Two-Factor theory, emotion is the result of the interaction of physiological arousal and the cognitive (mental) label.

Class Starter What are the 3 stages of Han Seyle's General Adaptation Syndrome (GAS)? Mnemonic Device "ARE" for the 3 stages

Hans Seyle was one of the first to study the effects of long-term stress. His BIG IDEA General Adaptation Syndrome. Describes three stages in reaction to long-term stress: 1) alarm,2) resistance and 3) exhaustion.

1.ALARM is the stage in which stress hormones are released.
2. RESISTANCE is a stage during which the body tries to adapt to long-term stress and to return to pre-alarmed functioning. But when the stressor presents itself for a long time, our stress responses remain activated, and so it's difficult for our bodies to return to non-stressed states.
3. The final stage is EXHAUSTION, which can be both physical and mental. This stage can lead to illness, and ultimately, even death.

Chronic Stress is known to have negative health effects. They include:
-Weakened immune system
-Damage to DNA, which means our cells age faster than they otherwise might. (A common example of this is greying hair.
-Stress really can cause it, because it damages the cells responsible for hair color.)
-Heart Disease.
