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.]]> 2017-11-16 20:09:05 UTC https://padlet.com/vdruss/3l1x7d7udao8/wish/207885371 127 Hours Trailer vdruss https://padlet.com/vdruss/3l1x7d7udao8/wish/207885950 2017-11-16 20:10:26 UTC https://padlet.com/vdruss/3l1x7d7udao8/wish/207885950 Theories of Emotion (Wordpress) vdruss https://padlet.com/vdruss/3l1x7d7udao8/wish/207887286 2017-11-16 20:13:10 UTC https://padlet.com/vdruss/3l1x7d7udao8/wish/207887286 Han Seyle's GAS vdruss https://padlet.com/vdruss/3l1x7d7udao8/wish/207888875 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.
