Meet Ivonne: United States paralympian
Ivonne has been a fighter all her life.
At age 2, doctors removed both eyes to stop the spread of an aggressive cancer.
After graduating college, Ivonne took up running, turning herself into a world-class runner and triathlete.
In Rio, Ivonne earned 6th place in the 1500 meter run.
Other notable accomplishments include speaking 4 languages, climbing mountains, and earning a graduate degree in business.
Motivation: Part 1
Motivation: a stimulus that can direct behavior, thinking, and feeling
Guided
Energized
Persistent
Motivation: Part 2
Motivation and Learning Theory
Operant Conditioning
Positive reinforcers: stimuli that, when added, increase the likelihood of future behavior
Negative reinforcers: stimuli that, when taken away, increase the likelihood of future behavior
Incentive: an association established between a behavior and its consequences, which then motivates that behavior
Motivation: Part 3
Intrinsic motivation
The drive or urge to continue a behavior because of internal reinforcers
Examples: personal satisfaction, interest, mastery
Extrinsic motivation
The drive or urge to continue a behavior because of external reinforcers
Examples: money, grades, food, traffic tickets
Can undermine intrinsic motivation when we reward an activity with external reinforcers
Put your heads together 9.1
Imagine you are a psychology instructor and your goal is to motivate students to perform better on exams. Team up and discuss
extrinsic motivation strategies you could implement, and
ways to encourage intrinsic motivation.
Which would be more effective in the long term?

Theories of motivation: Part 1
Instinct Theory
Instincts: complex behaviors that are fixed, unlearned, and consistent within a species
Early theorists, influenced by Darwin, proposed that human behavior is motivated by various instincts.
Little evidence to support this theory
Evolutionary perspective suggests evolutionary forces influence behavior.
Example: fear of heights may have evolved to protect us from danger
Theories of motivation: Part 2
Drive-Reduction Theory
Homeostasis: the tendency for bodies to maintain constant states through internal controls
Homeostasis is the basis for motivation.
Behaviors are driven by the process of fulfilling basic needs.
If a need is not fulfilled, it creates a drive, or a state of tension that motivates behavior to restore equilibrium.
Drive-reduction theory
Theories of motivation: Part 3
Arousal Theory
Humans (and perhaps other primates) seek an optimal level of arousal, as not all motivation stems from physical needs.
Arousal can be a product of anxiety, surprise, excitement, interest, fear, and many other emotions.
Some people are sensation seekers.
High heritability of this trait (58%–67%)
Can decrease later in adolescence
