Innate Motivation |
Biological based (sex,hunger etc.) |
|
Acquired motivation |
Learned (achievement,money) |
|
Drive-reduction theory |
Motivation is an irritation until we find a reduction (C. Hull) -Implies we always try to reduce stimulation and overlooks importance of external stimuli -Deviation from homeostasis creates need, drive, reinforcer reduces need(primary motivational system) -ALL REINFORCEMENT NEG. Response ends need |
|
Homeostasis + Anticipation theory |
Motivations maintain body state to optimum intermediate level -overlooks importance of external stimuli |
|
Incentive theory/ Instinct |
Incentives are external stimuli that attract us even without a biological need -Motivations responsible to attractive stimuli -Incomplete unless combined w. another theory -You eat b.c hungry and food looks good
-When energy reach critical level they'll be released, if appropriate not available, they release to another stimuli (Freud and Lorenz)
|
|
Hunger |
Homeostatic drive that makes energy available to the body -caused by decrease in glucose entering cells (Most abundant sugar in the blood) -Insulin & Glucagon secreted by pancreas to regulate hunger and nutrition |
|
Insulin |
increases absorption og glucose into cells |
|
Glucagon |
Converts stored nutrients into blood glucose -released between meals( espeically when you get up) when energy is needed
Ghrelin-secreted by stomach lining when empty |
|
Short run regulation of hunger |
food intake doesn't always match person's nutritional needs -weight fluctuates -weights close to a set point a level the brain works to maintain |
|
log term regulation of hunger (Leptin) |
Leptin is secreted by fat cells themselves -Leptin works in hypothalamus to alert brain for more fat cells needed, L. part of the system of triggering puberty -Obesity linked to a lack of leptin, some people have it and are insensitive to its effects 0Weight stable in long term |
|
Hypothalamus |
Location of several areas critical to regulating food intake -(Arcuate nucleus, lateral hypothalamus, ventromedial hyp., Paraventricular hyp.) |
|
Arcuate Nucleus |
-Some neurons receive hunger and satiety signals -Empty stomach..gherin, high insulin and leptin |
|
Lateral hypothalamus (ON SWITCH) |
-critical for STARTING eating. Damage to this area will cause starvation through lack of interest in food -stimulation: start of eating -ablation: Failure to start eating |
|
Ventromedial Hyp. (off switch) |
Importanat for regulating the rate at which food is digested. When it is damaged people digest food quickly. Eat more, put on weight -stimulation: slowing/cessation of eating -Ablation: Failure to stop eating |
|
Paraventriculat Hyp. |
Regulates satiety in the short term, if damaged a person can eat until they're about to burst -Stimulation: cessation of eating -ablation: failure to stop eating |
|
Drug Addiction |
1.Increased need, 2.withdrawal, 3.use it to relieve withdrawal 4. Devote inordinate time/ resources to it 5. interfere with normal obligations -ALso include- Gambling, sports, sky diving, sex) |
|
Drug Abuse |
1. Increased need 2. withdrawal 3. use it to relieve withdrawal |
|
Opponent-Process theory- |
-Soloman -Habituation and sensitization in complex systems, emotional dynamics of repeated exposure to an affective stimulus |
|
Temporal changes in affect (Before/novice) Heroin, Parachute Jump, Love |
-Rush-malaise -Terror-relief -ecstacy-loneliness |
|
Temporal changes in affect(after/expert) Heroin, parachute jump, love |
-mild euphoria-withdrawal -Mild anxiety-rush -normality-greif |
|
Opponent process theory(mechanics) |
-Affective reaction determined by A and B processes -A. elected by stimulus, magnitude determined by duration, quantity,intensity -A elicts B -B starts slower than A, slower to decay than A -A&B are opposite signs -Repeated exposure will inc. strength of B -after many times no pleasure but worse withdrawal |
|
Stimulants (cocaine) |
-self administered to VTA, MFB, NA -Dopamine AGONIST- prevents re-uptake of DA -self admin. blocked by antagonist, blocked by preventing DA neurons from working -DA(dopamine)-controls how you experience pleasure |
|
Opiates (heroin) |
-indirect DA agonist -Self- admin to VTA, MFB, NA -self admin. blocked by antagonist, blocked by preventing DA neurons from working -Euphoric affects induce GABA(Inhibitory interneurons of VTA), heroin reduces GABA amt -inc. samt of DA produced and pleasure |
|
Stress(ch12) Eustress/destress |
Any deviation from homeostasis -An event that threatens(perceived or actual) to threaten an organisms safety or well being attempts to cope -Eustress: Anxiety, test preformance -Distress-bad, can interfere w. preformance
|
|
Types of stressors |
1.Adverse physical events 2.Frustration 3.Conflict (Ap-Ap, Ap-Av,Av-Av) 4.Change |
|
Approach-Approach |
-Least stress -2 equally attractive goals (pizza, spaghetti) |
|
Approach-avoidance |
-More stress -One event has positive and negative affects -(Donut or fat) |
|
Avoidance-Avoidance |
-two negative events (caught between a rock and a hard place, Scylla and Charybdis) |
|
Stress survey |
26- mild 0-150 45- moderate 150-300 59 severs 300+ |
|
Stress psysiology |
Selye: General adaption syndrome Alarm,resistance, exhaustion |
|
Event appraisal |
Lazarus simple) Disturbing=stress, not disturbing=not Complex) incorporates chronicity, controllability and predictability |
|

Stressor--hypothalamus--pituitary ACTH release--Corticosteroid release(Inc. energy, dec. inflammation) |
|
Diagram 2 |

Sherifs first conformity (1936) |
Auto kinetic effect- if you look at a light for long enough it starts to move -individuals report size -group 3 joint decision -individuals report a perceived effect more consistent with the group |
|
Asch 1951 Conformity study |
assessment of length of line 1. thinks right and goes along 2. Doesn't want judgement Conformity effect is a function of group size 35& give incorrect response |
|

Class responds 1 girl went along and said it was 1 Actually 2 *in a group of 3 or more you're more likely to get conformity |
|
Milgram (1963) Authority and Obedience |

|
Factors contributing to obedience |
1. status of authority, authority will be responsible for action, no clear point to stop, gradual nature of request -Deindividualization loss of identity to group,
