Theories of Motives
Drive-Reduction Theory - Clark Hull
According to drive-reduction theory:
a physiological need creates an aroused tension state (a
drive) that motivates an organism to satisfy the need.
2. AROUSAL THEORY
We are motivated by seeking an optimum level of
excitement or arousal.
We are driven by the need to explore, to satisfy
our curiosity. Each of us has an optimum level of
stimulation that we like to maintain. Look out how
your relax when you are stressed out? Do you go
for a walk, read a book, or do you workout?
INCENTIVE THEORY
Incentive
a positive or negative environmental stimulus that motivates behavior
Behavior is not pushed by a need but pulled by a desire for
achievement. We are motivated to seek the rewards. We are
attracted to particular goals or motives. Culture and experiences
are important determining factors.
5. Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs
Abraham Maslow (1908-1970) was a humanistic
psychologist. Humanists focus on fulfilling one’s
potential. Humans strive for personal growth..that basic
needs must be satisfied before moving on to the next level.
Maslow believed that not all needs are created equal. He
described a hierarchy of needs that predicts which needs
we are motivated to satisfy first.
begins at the base with physiological needs that must first be
satisfied
then higher-level safety needs become active
then psychological needs become active
