  3. 1. a) Definition of Motivation • What do you want; what do you need? • What’s really important to you? • “Motives are the needs, wants, interests, and desires that propel people in certain directions. • Motivation involves goal-directed behaviour” (p. 414)

  4. Model of Motivation

  5. 1.b) Maslow’s Model

  6. 2. Maslow (cont’d): • Criticisms: • Do lower needs have to be fulfilled for higher-order needs to operate? • Is the order universal? Or are there individual differences? • What about needs for autonomy? • What about power and aggression? • What about altruism, and the need to help others?

  7. 2. Social Motives • a) Need for Achievement: • Wanting to accomplish goals; desire to excel • Wanting to succeed and trying hard • b) Need for Affiliation • Wanting to be with others • Wanting to be accepted by others; winning friends • c) Intimacy: • Wanting good interpersonal relations • Wanting warm, close exchange with significant other • d) Need for Power: • Wanting to influence or control others • Wanting to have an impact

  8. 2. d) Feeling your best: • Being engaged in activities where you feel: • Independent and in control (autonomy) • Competent & worthy • Connected: e.g. in contact with people who care about you • Activities that meet needs for self-determination, self-worth, and connection • From research published in JPSP, 2001.

  9. 3. Biological Motives • a) Hunger and eating: • Controlled by hypothalamus (see Fig. 10.3, p. 395) • Influenced by blood glucose, insulin and leptin • Stomach also sends signals to brain based on distention of stomach wall, and richness of nutrients in stomach

  10. 4. Sexual Motivation • a) Evolution and Mating priorities • (p.425-430) • Parental investment theory: • Sex with larger investment in offspring will be more discriminating in selecting a partner

  11. 4.a) Evolution and Mating • Gender disparities in mating preferences: • Different pressures among women and men for reproductive success

  12. 4. b) Sexual Orientation p. 432-435 • According to theory and research, sexual orientation exists on a continuum:

  13. 4.c) Prevalence • p. 433

  14. 4. d) Theories of Homosexuality • Most promising model is biological: • Level of prenatal hormones are involved in the organization of the brain and in determining sexual orientation. • Levels different in the case of homosexuals • propensity towards homosexuality would therefore be determined before birth by maternal biological factors • This evidence makes discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation untenable.

  15. 5. Eating Disorders: Presented by Leah Beth Shapira • Leah will explain how to recognize eating disorders, and how those who suffer from these often fatal illnesses can find professional help.
