Document Summary

Chapter 3: biology of motivation (genetic contribution to motivated behaviour: early instinct theories: Thus, every instinct consists of thoughts about the goal object; the emotions aroused by that object; and purposive striving aimed at reaching that object (p. 44: alteration of instinct in 4 ways: Instincts may be organized around certain objects of ideas, and become less responsive to other objects. Thus self-assertive at work and submissive at home. Mcdougall"s method of analysis was anthropomorphic he ascribed human qualities to animals asking himself how he would feel if he was in the same situation as the animal. (p. 45) Animals don"t share the qualities of a human. Mcdougall was faulted; cannot ascribe the cognition/affect of animal to humans. Much ethological research has focused on instinct, looking at conditions and components of it. Motivated behaviour has been studied in the naturalistic environment.
