INDEX -INTRODUCTION -THE MOST IMPORTANT THEORIES -HUNGER MOTIVATION -THIRST MOTIVATION -SEXUAL MOTIVATION INTRODUCTION What motivation is? We can said that the principal meaning of the word motivation is that it is an internal state that activate, run and maintain behaviour. There are many factors that have influence in motivation, and also each person represent one different motivational challenge and the social care worker is going to be the one that have to motivate everyone. Laredo. "Motivación y Satisfacción", http://www.teclaredo.edu.mx/unidad2/unidad2.htm We can say that the most important theories of motivation are the following ones: Biological/Physiological Behavioural/Biological Cognitive Psychodynamic: Dual instinct theory and Carl Jung's theory. Humanistic: Abraham Maslow theory and Alderfer theory. Biological/Physiological Perspective Motivation, is innate, is a natural condition (that is, something inferred to exist from known elements) that bring us to reach a specific goal. Motivational theories deals with the difficulties to explain what instigates, and maintains persistence in behaviour. Biological/physiological approaches to motivation are based in the work of Charles Darwin, who gave his life to explain evolution and how species survived. Instincts. Darwin explained survival as an innate instinct for survival. Other theorist like William James and William McDougall also gave importance to instincts, defined by some as unlearned patterns of behaviour that are focused in the survival of the organism. Explaining behaviour in terms of instincts eventually fell out of favour. Physiological regulation. Consists on the regulation of motivation by different points of the nervous system.

Some individuals experience difficulties in one or more of the sexual response phases. Problems like this and other different sexual dysfunctions concern to those psychologists that are working with behaviour problems. Problems include, among others, premature ejaculation and impotence in males and inability to experience orgasms and low sexual desire in females. Sexual orientation. Sexual orientation refers to the direction of one's erotic interests. Heterosexuals are the ones that feel attraction to people of the opposite gender; homosexuals are attracted to people of the same gender; bisexuals are attracted to members of either gender. Sexual orientation differences exist in all cultures.
Motivation is the reason or reasons one has for acting or behaving in a particular way according to Google. The three milers in The Perfect Mile attempt to achieve the four-minute mile, and they each have different forms of motivation. There are two milers that achieve success because their motive impelled them to prevail. What is motivation?
Prior to Harlow and Deci’s work, motivation could be explained in only one of two ways. The motivation to survive, also referred to by Pink as Motivation 1.0, has always been basic to our existence. Motivation 1.0 operates under the premise that “I need to do something” in order to get my basic needs met. It is a drive that dates back to the dawn of man and explains what...
Sexual orientation is a term used to describe a person’s physical, sexual, and romantic attraction to another person, whether they be Male or Female. The term is relatively new and the idea of having a homosexual identity has only been around for one-hundred years at the most (APA).
Motivation can be most commonly defined as the reason or reasons one has for acting or behaving in a particular way. However, motivation according to Daniel H. Pink in his book Drive can be explained in several different ways. Motivation for me differs from these explanations as it is not only about rewards and punishment, but also about self-gratification. An example of something that personally motivates me in my endeavors is becoming successful in the future.
Drive: the surprising truth about what motivates us, by Daniel H. Pink, is a riveting book that discusses the evolution of what motivates us as humans and how our view on motivation is slowly changing to meet the needs of our society. The introduction opens with a story of an experiment on what motivates us conducted on rhesus monkeys by Harry F. Harlow in 1949, a psychologist at the University of Wisconsin (P. 07), and later picked up again by Edward Deci, a psychology graduate student from Carnegie Mellon University in 1969, who performed a similar experiment with two groups of college students (P. 11). In this experiment, these men looked at the differences in motivation by observing the effects of extrinsic rewards on the human psyche and collecting data on the results of some simple tests. The results were astonishing, contrary to all previous beliefs, both the humans and primates showed that after receiving extrinsic rewards their motivation to complete tasks dropped drastically. It was determined that for simple and repetitive tasks, extrinsic motivation techniques, such as the carrot and stick method, can work well; but for complex tasks requiring creativity, extrinsic motivation can have a negative outcome on the success of ones work.
The author trusts that all humans have some level of motivation as long as they exist. In turn, there are several well-known classic approaches that consider motivation such as instinct, drive reduction, arousal, incentive, and humanistic approaches. It is beyond the scope of this paper to describe all in detail, but a brief synopsis of each follows: (1) Instinct approach theorists suggest that humans have many diverse instincts that are biologically determined and cause innate patterns of behaviors such as reproducing, territorial protection, curiosity, acquisition, and fight, flight or freeze to name a few (McDougall, 1908). (2) Drive-reduction theory proposes that individuals have needs that are essential for survival and this need cause a tension to act called a drive. These drives entail primary drives for physical needs such as water and food, and acquired drives realized through conditioning or experience such as the need for income or social acceptance; whereas, one must meet the need to reduce the drive to return to a state of homeostasis (Hull, 1943). (3) Theorists who support an Arousal approach believe that humans are motivated by stimulation and people develop an optimal level of stimulus tension; whereas, task performances may suffer if the level is too high such as severe test anxiety or even too low such as boredom
To continue, fetishism is when people become dependent of an object to sexually fulfill them. They also prefer the object over sexual activity with a partner. Most people with this disorder are mostly men and it is hard to establish the commonality of this disorder because it usually goes untreated. There are more common objects that are used such as articles of clothing like underwear, boots, stockings, etc. Then there are more drastic objects used such as artificial limbs, diapers, and rubber items. Partialism plays right into this because it may be more of a specific objects such as feet that may be used to sexually excite them.
Motivation, can be called the goal directed behavior. Motivation is the internal state or condition
Theories of Motivation What is the motivation for this? According to the text, motivation is defined as a set of factors that activate, direct, and maintain behavior, usually toward a certain goal. Motivation is the energy that makes us do things; this is a result of our individual needs being satisfied so that we have inspiration to complete the mission. These needs vary from person to person as everybody has their individual needs to motivate themselves.
There are many kinds of motivation that are either intrinsic, which coming from within the organism, or extrinsic, which arise from external elements in the environment. Some intrinsic forms of motivation fall under the umbrella of biological theories of motivation including: instinct, drive-reduction and arousal. Instinct theories of motivation follow the idea that motivation results from behaviors that are unlearned and uniform in expression and universal in a species.
This essay explores motivation. The essay talks about several different theories. The first is Humanistic Theory of motivation by Adam Maslow. This theory talks about a pyramid which consist of the typical human needs and the order in which humans are going to attempt to do them. The second one is the Arousal Theory. This is how people are motivated to maintain an ideal balance of arousal and how the body will adjust to being over or under aroused. The next theory is the Instinctive Theory. I talk about Darwin and how he compares the instincts of animals to humans. The next is Incentive Theory which is the motivation of doing something to receive something after you are done. The next Theory is the Expectancy Theory which was created by Victor Vroom. Vroom that the behavior outcomes from coherent choices among alternatives whose purpose is to get the maximum pleasure and the least amount of pain. He has three main point which are Expectancy, Instrumentality,
Motivation originates from the reasons, and emotions that contribute strong potential and meaning to the teachers and the learners as well. Romando defined motivation as an internal drive that activates behavior and gives it direction. The term of motivation theory is concerned with the processes that describe why and how human
Sexual malfunction refers to a difficulty experienced by a couple or individual during any stage of a normal sexual activity, including desire, arousal or orgasm. Sexual dysfunction affects both men and women at any given age. This can be caused by emotional or physical problems. It may be because of lack of trust between lovers, psychological problems, depression, among other things. In men, the most com...
¡§Motivation¡¨ derives from the Latin verb ¡§movere¡¨ which means ¡§to move¡¨. Beck (2004, p.3) defined Motivation as an internal state which is the driving force that activates behaviour or gives directions to thoughts, feelings and actions of an organism.
