PSYCH 111 Lecture Notes - Lecture 10: Polygraph, Terror Management Theory, Facial Feedback Hypothesis
Document Summary
We are motivated to socialize and be in a group. When you are social person, you can share resources with each other. You have to connect with other people to reproduce. We have this idea of hunger, thirst, sex, even temperature of the body which is hardwired so our temperature is about 98. 6. There is motivation for aggression, sleep, achievement, dominance, order (do not like things messy), need to play (all work all the time, basic need for relaxation is not being met) Drive: you want to lessen a tension by doing the drive. Sometimes we do it not to lesson a drive. Laying in bed, you get hungry so you have to drive to get up and eat to lessen that feeling of hunger. Incentives: we eat because it"s pleasurable, not because we"re hungry. Intrinsic motivation: that piece of cheesecake looks so good so you eat it.
