Motivation And Emotion

1. Soru

What is the role of motivation in human behavior?

Cevap

It plays an important role in directing human behaviors and activating an organism.


2. Soru

Why it is difficult to explain human behavior through instinct?

Cevap

The fact that human behaviors are not only innate, they can be developed later on, and
common human behaviors are not observed as many times as individually unique behaviors weakens the relationship between intuition and human beings. People learn most of their behaviors later on and often show behaviors unique to them rather than
stereotype behaviors. That is why it is difficult to explain human behavior through instinct.


3. Soru

Biological factors are not always necessary in the emergence of some behaviors. Any condition around the individual may act as a stimulant for a specific behavior.

19. Soru

What is the effect of failing to satisfy hunger and thirst motives and learned motiives on the individual?

Cevap

Failing to satisfy hunger and thirst motives can cause biological problems. However, when learned motives are not satisfied, psychological problems occur rather than biological ones.


20. Soru

21. Soru

What is the function of hypothalamus?

Cevap

Hypothalamus is the center directing the reactions related to hunger in the body. It also controls eating process as hunger and thirst control center.


22. Soru

In what way does the sex drive differ from other primary drives such as hunger and thirst?

Cevap

While hunger and thirst are essential for the survival of an organism, sexuality is important only for the continuation of a species. When hunger and thirst drives are not satisfied for a long time, the organism may die. However, this is not the case for sexuality behavior. In addition, the number of stimulants that might trigger sexuality motive is quite high. While hunger and thirst are directly affected by stimulants related with these needs, anything might be a stimulant for sexuality. In addition, organism spends energy while satisfying sex motive, but satisfaction of hunger or thirst provides energy for the body. Also, the motive of hunger or thirst increases even if the individual does not want. In sexuality, the individual wishes and starts the arousal and later searches for ways to relieve this tension.
