Motivation
Motivation: is a need or
desire that energizes(or
moves) behavior and
directs it towards a goal.

The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us
What does this tell you about
Motivation?

Needs and Drives…
Aren’t needs and drives the same thing?
No, because the strengths of needs and drives
can differ.
You eat a big meal. You are stuffed. 10 minutes later a
friend comes over with your favourite dessert, chocolate
cake…you eat 2 pieces! Explain.
7
Needs VS Drives
• A need is a condition in which we require something we lack.
• There are two types of needs:
• Biological needs – e.g., sleep from physical deprivation
• Psychological needs – e.g., a sense of belonging
• Biological needs and psychological needs give rise to drives.
• Drives are the forces that motivate an organism to take action.
Drives
Many motivated activities begin with a need.
Needs cause a drive. Drives activate a response
designed to attain a goal.
The longer we are deprived of something such as food or water, the
stronger our drive becomes. For example, our hunger drive is
stronger 6 hours after eating than it is 20 minutes after eating
9
Drive-Reduction Theory
People and animals experience a drive arising from a need
as an unpleasant tension. They learn to do whatever will
reduce that tension by reducing the drive, such as eating
to reduce their hunger drive.
Basic drives motivate us to restore an internal state of
balance. This state of balance (equilibrium) in the body is
called homeostasis.
10
All you need is love! …or is it?
A Hierarchy of Motives
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.
(1908-1970)
12
Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs
Self-transcendence needs
Need to find meaning and
identity beyond the self
According to Maslow, once our
lower-level needs are met, we
are prompted to satisfy our
higher-level needs.
13
Hierarchy of Needs Activity
Handout
• Reflect on your activities over the past few months
• Enter two significant behaviours that you think
demonstrate the operation of a need at each level of
Maslow’s hierarchy.
14
Physiological needs
• The physical requirements for human survival. The most important,
and should be met first.
• If these requirements are not
met, the human body cannot
function properly and will
ultimately fail.
• Eg. ) Air, water, food… etc.
Safety needs
• Once physical needs are relatively satisfied, safe needs take
precedence and dominate behaviour. the individual's safety needs
take precedence and dominate behavior.
• Eg. ) Personal security, financial security,
health… etc.
Love and Belongingness
• The third level of human needs is
interpersonal and involves feelings of
belongingness.
• Deficiencies within this level can impact
the individual's ability to form and
maintain emotionally significant
relationships in general, such as:
• Eg. ) Friendship, intimacy, family… etc.
Esteem needs
• All humans have a need to feel respected; this includes the need to
have self-esteem and self-respect. Esteem presents the typical human
desire to be accepted and valued by others. People often engage in a
profession or hobby to gain recognition.
• Most people have a need for stable self-respect and self-esteem.
• Eg. ) Achievement, respect from others… etc.
Self-Actualization
• "What a man can be, he must be.“
• This level of need refers to the need to become what one believes he
or she is capable of being.
• Many people seek self-actualization through work, hobbies, and
aesthetic experiences such as music, art, and poetry.
• Eg. ) a strong desire to become an ideal parent… etc.
All you need is love! …or is it?

Needs and Drives
• It is our needs that create a state of arousal called drive.
• According to Clark Hull, human beings work to reduce the state
of tension.
• it fails to explain complex human behaviors.
Motivation and Emotion
Our emotional state is closely related to our
motivation. Emotion influences motivation
and motivation influences emotion.
The word emotion comes from the Latin
word meaning “to move.” First, the body is
physically aroused during emotion. Such
bodily stirrings are what cause us to say we
were “moved” by a play, a funeral, or an act
of kindness. Second, we are often motivated,
or moved to take action, by emotions such as
fear, anger or joy.

Extrinsic Motivation
• Extrinsic Motivation occurs when we are motivated to perform a
behavior or engage in an activity in order to earn a reward or avoid a
punishment. Some examples of behaviors that are the result of
extrinsic motivation include: studying because you want to get a good
grade, or cleaning your room to avoid being reprimanded by your
parents. In each of these examples, the behavior is motivated by a
desire to gain a reward or avoid a negative outcome.
Intrinsic Motivation
• Intrinsic Motivation involves engaging in a behavior because it is
personally rewarding; essentially, performing an activity for its own
sake rather than the desire for some external reward. Examples of
behaviors that are the result of intrinsic motivation include:
Participating in a sport because you find the activity enjoyable,
solving a word puzzle because you find the challenge fun and
interesting, and playing a game because you find it exciting
Extrinsic VS Intrinsic Motivation
Which is better? Surprisingly both work together. Sometimes external
rewards can help us achieve a goal.
• External rewards can induce interest and participation in something the
individual had no initial interest in. Extrinsic rewards can be used to
motivate people to acquire new skills or knowledge. Once these initial
skills have been acquired, people may then become more intrinsically
motivated to pursue the activity.
• However, a number of studies have demonstrated that offering excessive
external rewards for an already internally rewarding behavior can actually
lead to a reduction in intrinsic motivation. In one study, for example,
children who were rewarded for playing with a toy they had already
expressed interest in playing with became less interested in the item after
being externally rewarded. Therefore, extrinsic motivators should be
avoided in situations where offering a reward might make a "play" activity
seem more like "work."
Extrinsic VS Intrinsic Motivation
• Reflect on your list of motives from last class. if your list contains less
than 10 motivating factors, brainstorm now!), and put an E beside the
Extrinsic motivators, and an I beside the Intrinsic motivators.
Emotion
• Emotions are a mixture of:
1) physical arousal
2) expressive behaviors
3) conscious experience
Emotions are states of feeling.
They are our body’s adaptive response.

Journal Reflection – Motivation
• Use your knowledge of motivation and appropriate psychological
terminology to answer the following questions:
1) What motivates people?
2) Give two example of times when you were motivated to do
something…what motivated you to do it in each and why?

Marshmallow Test
Walter Mischel (1972) presented the marshmallow dilemma to
preschoolers at Stanford University.
“You can have this marshmallow now if you want, but if you don’t eat it
until after I run an errand, you can have two.”
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QX_oy9614HQ
42
Immediate VS delayed gratification
• Self-control often requires that we ignore
immediate rewards in favor of larger,
delayed rewards. Compared to the
children who failed the marshmallow test,
the children who passed it demonstrated
greater personal and social competence in
adulthood.
• Consideration of the future consequences
of one’s behaviour seems to be associated
with better health, greater job success,
and stronger interpersonal relations. Selfcontrol may be the master virtue.
Dr. Dave Walsh - The Marshmallow Experiment
• http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2H9eU5NCqr8
The mature marshmallow test
• Adults are taking the marshmallow test on pretty much a daily basis:
• “Should I wait until I have saved up the cash for something I want, or
should I just go ahead and put it on the credit card and worry about
paying for it later?”
• “Should I spend time and money getting an education in order to
increase my earning potential, or should I just take the job offer and
start making money now?”
• “Should I save money and invest for the future, or should I spend my
money to buy the things I want right now?”
Marshmallow Test and Emotional Intelligence
How does Emotional Intelligence have anything to do with the
Marshmallow Test?
46
Emotional Intelligence
Emotional Intelligence is a combination of skills, such as
empathy, self-control and self-awareness. Such skills can make
us more flexible, adaptable, emotionally mature. People who
excel in life tend to be emotionally intelligent.
47
Emotional Intelligent People
1. Self-awareness (tuned in to their own feelings)
2. Empathy (perceive emotions in others)
3. Manage emotions (ability to manage your own emotions and those of
others)
4. Understand emotions (know what causes various emotions, what they
mean and how they affect behaviour)
5. Use emotions (use their feelings to enhance thinking and decision
making)
Page 397 Nelson’s Psychology A Journey
48
Marshmallow Test and Emotional Intelligence
How does Emotional Intelligence have anything to do with the
Marshmallow Test?
• The marshmallow test became a critical part of the argument that
emotional intelligence is important because it links the control of
emotions with success.
49
• Let’s back up a bit…
Emotion
• Emotions are a mixture of:
1) physical arousal
2) expressive behaviors
3) conscious experience
Emotions are states of feeling.
They are our body’s adaptive response.
Controversy
1) Does physiological arousal precede or follow your emotional
experience?
2) Does cognition (thinking) precede emotion (feeling)?
For example:
• Are you happy because you laughed or are you laughing
because you are happy?
• Are you sad because you are crying or crying because you are
sad?
The Commonsense Approach
• When you become happy, your heart starts beating faster. First
comes conscious awareness, then comes physiological activity.
• When something happens to a person
in a certain situation, the person quickly
interprets the situation. The interpretation
triggers body sensations that signal a
feeling or emotion. The emotion, in turn,
triggers a behavior.
Emotional Appraisal
Emotional appraisal refers to evaluating the personal
meaning of a stimulus. (Is it good/bad,
threatening/supportive, relevant/irrelevant and so on.)
For example: If another driver cuts you off on the highway, you
could become very angry. But if you do, you will add 15 minutes of
emotional upset to your day. By changing your appraisal, you could
just as easily choose to laugh at the other driver’s childish behaviour
and minimize the emotional wear and tear.
Controlling your emotions is a hard thing to do!!
Emotional Appraisal
Appraisal:
You have been slighted or demeaned
You feel threatened.
You have experienced a loss
You have broken a moral rule
You have not lived up to your ideals
You desire something another has
You are near something repulsive
You fear the worst but yearn for better
You are moving toward a desired goal
You are linked with a valued object or accomplishment
You have been treated well by another
You desire affection from another person
You are moved by someone’s suffering

56
The Opponent-process Theory
• According to Richard Solomon, emotions come in pairs, with
one emotion followed by its opposite.
• For example, one emotion – extreme
happiness –, tends to be followed
by feelings that are opposite –
extreme sadness, rather than by a
neutral feeling.
• Why? People are inclined to
maintain balance in their
emotional lives.

Expressed Emotion
Emotions are expressed on the face, by the body,
and by the intonation of voice. Is this nonverbal
language of emotion universal?
59
Expressed Emotion
Charles Darwin observed that angry tigers, monkeys,
dogs and humans all bare their teeth in the same way.
Darwin believed that emotional expressions evolved to
communicate our feelings to other, which aids survival.
Such messages give us valuable hints about what other
people are likely to do next.
60
Expressed Emotion
Facial expressions of fear, anger, disgust, sadness and happiness
(enjoyment) are recognized around the world.
Do we learn facial expressions from others or are we born with
them?

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.
Presumably, we are especially sensitive to threatening
faces because they warn us of possible harm.

Anger
• In excess, can lead to heart disease
BUT
• Can also help people alleviate problems in a healthy manner
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.
78
Catharsis
Catharsis is an emotional release
Catharsis Hypothesis
• Releasing aggressive energy through action or fantasy relieves
aggressive urges
Do you agree or disagree?
What does the research say?
• Expressing anger breeds more anger
• Hitting a punching bag leads to more cruelty
• Venting anger may lead to more hostility
“Venting to reduce anger is like using gasoline to put out a fire.” Brad
Bushman
How should you handle anger?
1. Wait
2. Deal with anger in a way
that involves neither being
chronically angry over every
little annoyance nor passively
sulking
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.

Stress and
Health
PSYCH 40S – Class 5

Stress and Health
Psychological states cause physical illness.
Stress is any circumstance (real or perceived) that
threatens a person’s well-being.
Lee Stone/ Corbis
When we feel severe stress, our ability to cope with it is impaired.
86
Stress and Health
• Stress can be adaptive. In a fearful or stresscausing situation, we can run away and save our
lives.
• Stress can be maladaptive. If it is prolonged
(chronic stress), it increases our risk of illness and
health problems.
87
Stress and Stressors
At times stress is the stimulus (missing an appointment)
and at other times it is a response (sweating while taking
a test).
A stressor is a stress-producing event or situation.
Traveling in an airplane may be a stressor for someone
who has never flown but not for a flight attendant.
88
Two Types of Stress
Distress (Negative Stress) – stress that stems from acute anxiety
or pressure. This type of stress can take a harsh toll on the mind
and body.
Eustress – positive stress which motivates and challenges the
person
89
Stress and Stressors
Bob Daemmrich/ The Image Works
When short-lived or taken as a challenge, stressors may have positive effects.
However, if stress is threatening or prolonged, it can be harmful.
90
Stressful Life Events
Catastrophic Events: Catastrophic events like earthquakes,
combat stress, and floods lead individuals to become
depressed, sleepless, and anxious.
Significant Life Changes: The death of a loved one, a
divorce, a loss of job, or a promotion may leave individuals
vulnerable to disease.
Daily Hassles: Rush hour traffic, long lines, job stress, and
becoming burnt-out are the most significant sources of
stress and can damage health.
91
The Stress Response System
1. Fight or Flight
Walter Cannon introduced
the term stress.
He proposed that the stress
response (fast) was a fightor-flight response marked
by the outpouring of
epinephrine and
norepinephrine from the
inner adrenal glands

2. General Adaptation Syndrome
According to Hans Selye, the stressed individual goes
through three phases. Alarm reaction, Resistance, Exhaustion
93
Stress and the Heart
Stress that leads to elevated blood pressure may
result in coronary heart disease, a clogging of the
vessels that nourish the heart muscle.

• http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I6402QJp52M
Personality Types
Type A is a term used for competitive, harddriving, impatient, verbally aggressive, and
anger-prone people. Type B refers to easygoing,
relaxed people (Friedman and Rosenman, 1974).
Type A personalities are more likely to develop
coronary heart disease.
97
Coping with Stress
Problem-focused coping and Emotion-focused
coping.
Reducing stress by changing events that cause
stress or by changing how we react to stress is
called problem-focused coping.
• Taking control
• Seeking information
• Evaluation the pros and cons
98
Coping with Stress
Emotion-focused coping is when we cannot change
a stressful situation, and we respond by attending
to our own emotional needs.(You think about
your emotions or you can avoid them.)
• Keeping yourself busy/distracting yourself to take mind off
issue
• Letting off steam to other people
• Praying for guidance and strength
• Ignoring problem
• Building yourself up to expect the worse
Women tend to use more emotion focused strategies then men
99
Personal Control
External Locus of Control:
When people feel that chance or outside forces beyond their
control determines their fate.
Internal Locus of Control:
When people feel that they control their own fate.

103
Develop An Internal Locus of Control
Develop An Internal Locus of Control
1. Realize that you always have choice to change your situation.
2. When you feel trapped, make a list of all possible courses of action.
3. You may want to also brainstorm with a friend to get more ideas
4. When you have a list, evaluate each one and decide on the best course of action for you.
5. Repeat this practice when you feel trapped in frustrating situations in your life.
Tips:
1. Notice your language and self talk.
2. Phase out phrases like, ‘I have no choice’, and, ‘I can’t…” You can replace them with, ‘I choose not to,’ or, ‘I
don’t like my choices, but I will…’
3. Your attitude affects your stress level more than you may realize.
104
Explanatory Style
People with an optimistic (instead of
pessimistic) explanatory style tend to have more
control over stressors, cope better with stressful
events, have better moods, and have a stronger
immune system.
105
Social Support
Bob Daemmrich/ Stock, Boston
Supportive family members, marriage partners,
and close friends help people cope with stress.
Their immune functioning calms the
cardiovascular system and lowers blood pressure.
