This document discusses motivation and emotions. It defines motivation as the purpose for responding and refers to the initiation, direction, intensity and persistence of behavior. Motivation is useful for understanding how strong and why behavior occurs. Theories of motivation discussed include biological determinism, which sees behavior as resulting from biological forces like instincts. Homeostatic motivation refers to the body maintaining equilibrium through processes like regulating blood pressure. Non-homeostatic motivation explains behaviors not related to survival like play. Arousal theory links motivation to seeking an optimal level of arousal, while incentive theory sees external stimuli as motivating. Emotions are feelings that produce physiological changes and behaviors in response to stimuli. Theories of emotions discussed are the James-Lange theory
This is a paper I wrote on the subject of Motivation and Emotions as part of my Term 1 submission for Micro-OB. Students of Organization Behavior and HR may find it useful. In case you find it useful please drop some feedback so that I can improve my skills. Thanks!

Instincts are goal-directed and innate patterns of behavior that are not the result of learning or experience. For example,
In humans
The rooting reflex as is the suckling reflex (a reflex in which babies begin sucking when a finger or nipple places pressure on the roof of their mouth,)
The Moro reflex (a startle reaction seen in babies less than 6 months of age) and
The Babkin reflex (a reflex in which babies open their mouths and flex their arms in response to rubbing the palms of their hands.)
Birds have an innate need to build a nest or migrate during the winter.
In animals example may be
A dog shaking after it gets wet,
A sea turtle seeking out the ocean after hatching
All of these behaviors occur naturally and automatically. They do not need to be learned in order to be displayed.
Motivation refers to an internal state or condition that activates behavior and gives it direction.
Emotion is a state involving pattern of facial and bodily changes, cognitive appraisals, subjective feelings, and tendencies toward action.
Emotions are positive or negative feelings generally in reaction to stimuli that are accompanied by physical, psychological arousal and related behavior.
Emotions give life its feeling and meaning. They enrich life. Without emotions, things would be quite a routine and dull.

The concept of motivation focuses on explaining what ‘moves’ behavior
It was derived from a Latin word ‘movere’ meaning movement
Motivation is one of the determinants of behavior
Instincts, derives, needs, goals and incentives come under the broad cluster of motivation.
It discuss about the behavioral, autonomic, and hormonal components of an emotional response and the role of the amygdala in controlling them.It also discuss the nature, functions, and neural control of aggressive behavior with the role of the orbitofrontal cortex in the analysis of social situations and the effects of damage to this region.
Discuss cross cultural studies on the expression and comprehension of emotions with neural control of emotional expression in normal people and people with brain damage

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2. What is motivation?
Definitions
1. The purpose for responding.
2. Motivation refers to the initiation , direction,
intensity and persistence of behaviour (Geen
1995)
3.
4. Motivation is useful understanding…
• How strong a behaviour will be?
• How behaviour can happen?
• Why people behave the way they do?
• Why people behave differently?
• What changes the intensity, direction of a
response?
7. Theories of motivation
Biological determinism
• Behavior is resulted from the forces which are
uniquely biological.
• Instincts determine behaviour
Instinct is a genetically programmed , adaptive
behaviour that is important for survival(Gould
1986)
8. Biological determinism
Socio-biology
Socio-biologists say we respond to genetic
imperatives to keep our genes alive; to pass
genes to the next generations. Ex. Eskimo
• Human and animal behaviour is biologically
determined.
• Herding instinct, culture serves biological
needs
9.
10. Homeostatic motivation
• Psychologist Cannon(1920) first used the term
homeostasis to describe the process through
which the body’s balanced state is
maintained.
• Homeostasis is the process by which the body
maintains the balanced state through the
regulation of internal environment.
Ex. Blood pressure, Digression, Respiration
11. Homeostatic motivation
• Homeostasis is automatically controlled. It is a
tendency towards the maintenance of a
relatively stable internal environment.
12. Clark Hull(1884-1952) Drive Reduction
Model
• Motivation and resulting response occur in an
effort to restore homeostatic equilibrium that
has been disturbed by internal and external
environmental factors
13. What controls homeostasis?
• Autonomous nervous system + Endocrine
System+ Hypothalamus
• Self studies: How hunger as motivation is
activated? Do self , web based studies and be
ready for a small group based discussion in
the following class. Does hunger totally
depend on homeostatic motivation? Discuss
this question.
17. Non homeostatic motivation
• Non homeostatic motivation explains other
motivations not apparently directed at life
sustenance, and not motivated due to
biological reasons.
• EX. Play, Sexual behaviour, Curiosity,
Gambling, Addiction and risk taking.
18.
19. Arousal theory
• Arousal is the state of mental readiness for
activity.
• High level of arousal: Excitement, Panic
• Low arousal: drowsiness, bored state of mind
• There is a sharp contrast among people
regarding their levels of arousal.
Bring examples.
20. Arousal theory
• Each of us tries to maintain an optimal level of
an arousal seeking the best level of
stimulation. This optimal level can vary from
individual to the next.
• Lack of desored level of arousal bring us to
seek such behaviour which would bring us
back to the desired level of arousal.
• Ex. For Low optimal level arousal and high
optimal level arousal.
21.
22. Incentive theory
• All early theories we learnt are with the
quality that motivation derives from the
organism it self.
• Purpose for responding comes from the
internal environment of the organism.
• Incentive theory says that external stimuli
motivate individuals .
• There are positive incentives and negative
incentives.
29. Emotions
• A feeling of pleasantness or unpleasantness
that is manifested in the conscious experience
as well as accompanying behavioural and
psychological changes.
• Emotions results in ,
- A certain conscious experience
- Physiological changes
- Behaviour
30. Emotions
• Emotion is an intense neural mental state that
arises subjectively rather than through
conscious effort and evokes either a positive
or negative psychological response to move an
organism to action.
31.
32.
33. Emotions
• What happens at a panic situation
- Fight or flight mechanism activated
- Autonomous nervous system is activated
making a person capable of performing
physically in a way that an individual could not
do in ordinary circumstances.
34. Emotions
• Most emotional experiences are innate , and can
not deny that some are learnt.
• Wolves can read the emotional expressions of
wolves
• More recent developments in evolutionary
theory have proposed that emotions are innate
responses to specific stimuli(Izard 1977).
• Darwin also noted similarities between human
and animal expressions.
35.
36. James –Lange Theory
• Emotions arouse out of bodily changes
• Ex. If you see a leopard
• Bodily changes would occur as a result from
the perception of the situation, and the
recognition of the bodily changes
subsequently produces the subjective feeling.
37. Cognitive theory of emotions
Physiological
changes
External stimuli
Cognitive
appraisal
Perception
of emotion
Memories of past
experiences
38. Canon- Bard theory of Emotions
• Experience of an emotional situation triggers a
nerve impulse in the Thalamus of the brain(
Thalamus is considered to be the control centre
of emotions).
• This nerve impulse divides. One impulse goes to
Cerebral Cortex and it causes conscious feeling of
emotion. The other impulse goes(Simultaneously)
to other major organs of the body making a
physiological change.
• This theory has been supported with the
experiments done with animals.
39. Cognitive theory of emotions
• Person process all three forms of information
to arrive at the subjective emotional
experience.
• With such a cognitive appraisal of all sources
of information individuals label the emotions.
