Motivation & Emotion
Forces that Push and Pull
Motivation
The factors that direct and energize the behavior of
humans and other organisms.
Drive
Motivational tension, or arousal, that energizes
behavior to fulfill a need.
Homeostasis
The body’s tendency to maintain a steady internal
state.
Anorexia nervosa
A severe eating disorder in which people may
refuse to eat while denying that their behavior
and appearance—which can become skeleton-
like—are unusual.
Bulimia
A disorder in which a person binges
on large quantities of food, followed
by efforts to purge the food through
vomiting or other means.
Need for achievement
A stable, learned characteristic in which a person
obtains satisfaction by striving for and attaining a level
of excellence
Emotions act as a link between events in our environment and our responses. For
example, if you saw an angry dog charging toward you, your emotional reaction
(fear) would be associated with physiological arousal of the sympathetic division of
the autonomic nervous system, the activation of the “fight-or-flight” response.
Shaping our future behavior : Emotions promote learning that will help us
make appropriate responses in the future. For instance, your emotional response
to unpleasant events teaches you to avoid similar circumstances in the future.
