Document Summary
People may sacrifice some of their morals for money. Won"t be performing properly if you are not motivated. Things such as money, sex as motivators can work in the short-run, but not really in the long run. One of the best-developed literatures in psychology has to do with how people motivate themselves and are motivated by others, with the roles that motivational structures, like goals, play in determining our behaviours, thoughts, emotions, health, etc. And despite the earl dominance of behaviourist approaches, psychologists how recognize the intimate role that top-down process (i. e. meaning, construal, interpretation), play in determination how our motivational systems function. I. e. beating kids for bad behaviour will may not punish the behaviour, the children will try to avoid getting caught: objective incentive is better than subjective behaviour. I. e. playing sports some pay for passion others for pay checks.
