  2. Social Motivation • Your attitudes and goals, the society you live in, and the people you surround yourself with effect what you are motivated to do. • How are you motivated?

  3. Intrinsic Motivation • The desire to perform a behavior effectively and for its own sake. • Intrinsically motivated people work and play in search of employment, interest, self expression, or challenge. • Are you internally motivated to take the AP test to gain the knowledge and challenge yourself by taking a difficult test? If so, you’re intrinsically motivated. • Intrinsic motivation is most effective in advantageous behavior.

  4. Extrinsic Motivation • The desire to behave in certain ways to receive external rewards or avoid threatened punishment. Ex: Grades, Salary • Are you externally motivated to take the AP test solely for the purpose of the grade and a possible college credit? If so, your extrinsically motivated. • Extrinsic motivations are very effective for only a short period of time.

  5. Management Styles • Theory X: Managers believe that employees will work only if rewarded with benefits or threatened with punishment. Ex. Being rewarded with a raise, or extra vacation time. • Theory Y: Managers believe that employees are internally motivated to do good work and policies should encourage this internal motive. Ex. Having a deadline for a task gives you the motivation to complete the task.

  6. Conflicting Motives There are 4 major types of motivational conflicts: • Approach-Approach Conflict: You must choose between two desirable outcomes. Ex: For spring break one of your friends asks you to go to Puerto Rico with them, and another friend asks you to go to the Bahamas with them. • Avoidance-Avoidance Conflict: You must choose between two unattractive outcomes. Ex: Your parents give you the option of cleaning out the garage or mopping the floors.

  7. Conflicting Motives • Approach-Avoidance Conflict: One event or goal has both attractive and unattractive features. Ex: If you’re lactose intolerant the taste of an ice cream cone is appealing, but the outcome of eating it is not. • Multiple Approach-Avoidance Conflict: You must choose between two or more things, each having both attractive and unattractive outcomes. Ex: When choosing which college to attend, University A is best academically but you don’t like the location. University B is close to home, but its too cold. University C is where your bf/gf is going, but its too expensive.
