Motivation Theories: Matching Concepts
Matching Key Motivation Theories
This question requires matching four major theories of motivation (List I) with their core principles (List II). Let's break down each theory:- A. Drive Theory: This theory states that unmet physiological needs create an unpleasant state of arousal, or a 'drive'. The organism is then motivated to engage in behavior that reduces this drive, returning the body to homeostasis. This aligns with concept III: "Needs produce drives that motivate behaviour until drives are reduced."
- B. Instinct Theory: This perspective suggests that much of motivation stems from innate, unlearned, biologically determined patterns of behavior (instincts) that are specific to a species and crucial for survival. This aligns with concept I: "Biological processes that motivate behaviour patterns are specific to a species."
- C. Freud's Theory: Sigmund Freud proposed that motivation is largely driven by unconscious psychological processes, particularly conflicts and desires stemming from unconscious drives (like libido and aggression). This aligns with concept IV: "Motivation arises from unconscious desires."
- D. Evolutionary Theory: This viewpoint explains motivation in terms of its adaptive value, suggesting that motivations evolved because they enhanced survival and reproduction. It considers how functional, developmental, and immediate situational factors influence the priority of different motives. This aligns with concept II: "Priority of motive are determined by functional, developmental and proximal facts."
Correct Matching
Based on the analysis:- A matches with III
- B matches with I
- C matches with IV
- D matches with II
