Motivation: A need or desire that directs behavior
Incentive Theory: Positive or negative environmental stimuli that motivate behavior

  4. Have strong moral/ethical standards
  5. Are honest and avoid pretense
Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs: Pyramid of human needs, each need must be met successfully to move up; ends with self-actualization/Maslow’s pyramid of human needs, beginning at the base with physiological needs that must first be satisfied before higher-level safety needs and then psychological needs become active
Hunger Drive/Weight Disorders: Both internal and external reasons for hunger; Anorexia, Bulimia and obesity
Thirst Drive: Reduction of fluid in and outside of cell caused by sodium
  • Reasons of habitual, cultural, and psychogenetic
Lateral vs Ventral-medial

Theory X vs. Theory Y
X: Constant monitoring of workers, hovers
Y: Intrinsic Motivation, share control
Industrial Organization Psych: Studies how managers can best enhance the workplace
When Motives Conflict
Conflict Motivation: Sometimes what you want to do in a situation is clear to you, but at other times you no doubt find yourself conflicted about what choice to make. (4 types)
Approach-Approach Conflict: Occurs when you must choose between two desirable outcomes
Ex: 
Avoidance-Avoidance Conflict: Occurs when you must choose between two unattractive outcomes
Ex: When in class, you get to choose between doing homework, or studying 
Approach-Avoidance: Exists when ONE event or goal has both attractive and unattractive features
Ex: When you are shopping, you choose between a branded item or a non-branded item, one is cheaper, but the other can be more appealing
Multiple Approach-Avoidance Conflicts: Here you must choose between two or more things, each of which has both desirable and undesirable features
Ex:

James-Lange Theory: The arousal comes before the emotion (Pounding Hear...Fear)
Cannon-Bard Theory: The Arousal comes at the same time as the emotion
Schachter-Singer Theory: Arousal paired with a cognitive label, then the emotion
Opponent Process Theory: Emotions are in pairs (Fear/Relief; Pleasure/Pain; Depression/Elation) - similar to color theory to sight

Izard Theory: 10 basic emotions, cross-cultural, present in infancy, all other emotions are a combination of the original 10. 6 basic are joy, anger, disgust, surprise, sadness, and fear.
  • Izard's 10: Joy, interest-excitement, surprise, fear, anger, disgust, contempt, shame, and guilt.
Ekman's Theory: Facial muscles are used to indicate emotion and are universal
Cues of Genuine Smile
  • Studies by Duchene
    •  Genuine Smile: Closed eyes, crows feet, lower teeth covered by lips
    • Standard Smile: Opened eyes, less prounounced crow, less teeth
Yerkes Dodson Theory: Optimum stress necessary for optimum performance
  • Too much stress: bad
  • Too little: bad
  • Right Amount: positive/optimal performance
Learned Motives: Things you are taught by others; form of social motives but learned through modeling/observation of others
  • Aggression: Intent to inflict harm or pain, connection to learned helplessness
  • Achievement: Need to excel or overcome obstacles, highly motivated children and upbringing, "Early independence and encouragement, emotional and cognitive roots with future achievement, birth order, and creativity.
Stimulus Motive: Unlearned motives that encourage exploration of world. Used to obtain information on the world...even when bored!
Benefits of Smiling
  • Critical for social interaction: Cues more attractiveness, success, stronger immune system, lower stress, lower age.
  • Forced Smiling Research suggests that facial expression partially drives emotion-rather than emotion driving facial expressions.
