  4. Essential Task 1-2: Outline • Motivational Theories • Drive Reduction Theory • Strengths • Weaknesses • Arousal Theory • Yerkes-Dodson Law • Strengths • Weaknesses • Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs • Strengths • Weaknesses

  5. Theories of Motivation • Drive-Reduction Theory • Arousal Theory • Hierarchy of Motives

  6. Drive-Reduction Theory When the instinct theory of motivation failed it was replaced by the drive-reduction theory. A physiological need creates an aroused tension state (a drive) that motivates an organism to satisfy the need (Hull, 1951). Tension

  7. Drive Reduction The physiological aim of drive reduction is homeostasis, the maintenance of a steady internal state – balance. The regulation of any aspect of body chemistry around a particular level Drive Reduction Food Empty Stomach (Food Deprived) Stomach Full Organism

  8. Drive Reduction Theory • Strengths • Does a nice job explaining most primary drives • Falls apart with more complex behaviors/secondary drives • Sex and Secondary Drives. Outline

  9. Optimum Arousal • Humans seek optimum levels of arousal. • Sometimes we want lots of arousal • Sometimes we want very low arousal • Some of us tend to want more and some of us tend to want less.

  10. Arousal Theory • People do things in order to seek out an optimal level of arousal for a given moment • I want a high level or arousal – let’s do something epic tonight. • I want a low level of arousal – let’s stay in tonight. • I am bored with my life I need a new job. • I am stressed at work, let’s take a vacation.

  11. Yerkes-Dodson Law • States that there is an optimal level of arousal for best performance on any task • The more complex the task, the lower the level of arousal that can be tolerated without interfering with performance

  12. Hierarchy of Needs 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)
