Introduction This week we will look at what motivates people and at Maslow's hierarchy of needs. The role of emotions in human behavior will also be examined. The basic emotions of fear, pain, and rage will be considered in more detail. Motivation Motivation is something you can't concretely see, feel, or smell, but you can observe its results. It is inferred from observing the behavior of a person. Some of the underpinnings of motivation are found in instincts, drives and incentives. Abraham Maslow theorized that basic physiological needs must be met first before safety and psychological needs. At the level of basic needs are hunger and sexual drive. The mid-range includes companionship, self-esteem and recognition. The highest level of the hierarchy are what are referred to as self-actualization needs, the demands we place on ourselves to live up to our fullest potential. Variations of psychological factors effect the intensity of how the motivation manifests itself.
