then higher-level safety needs become active
then psychological needs become active

fullest and unique potential
Esteem needsNeed for self-esteem,
achievement, competence,and independence; need for
recognition and respect from others

Perspectives on Motivation
Four perspectives used to explain motivation include the following:
1. Instinct Theory (replaced by the evolutionary perspective)
2. Drive-Reduction Theory3. Arousal Theory4. Hierarchy of Motives
Motivation
Drive-Reduction Theory the idea that a physiological need creates an
aroused tension state (a drive) that motivates an organism to satisfy the need
Drive-reducingbehaviors
(eating, drinking)
Need(e.g., for
food, water)
Drive(hunger, thirst)
13
Optimum Arousal
Human motivation aims to seek optimum levels of arousal, not to eliminate it.
Young monkeys and children are known to explore the environment in the
absence of a need-based drive.

Physical responses, like finger temperature and movement of facial muscles, change during fear,

The amygdala shows differences in activation during the emotions of anger and rage. Activity of the left hemisphere (happy) is different from
the right (depressed) for emotions.
