key principles that govern human and animal behavior.

key principles that govern human and animal behavior.

  • Identify 3-4 key principles that govern human and animal behavior.
  • Apply these principles to your own life. (e.g. How can you see them in daily life?)
  • How do they enhance interactions between individuals and among societal groups?
  • The quest to fulfill our needs drives most of our behaviors. An emotion is a
    subjective feeling that is accompanied by physical and behavioral changes.
    Some emotions can feel better than others and some are more intense than
    others. Some examples of emotions include sadness, passion, love, disgust,
    pride, and anger. Did you know the complexity of our emotions is what
    separates humans from animals?
    There are four major theories of emotions:
    James Lange theory
    Cannon-Bard theory
    Facial-feedback theory
    Schachter’s two factor theory
    Motivation is a set of factors that activate, direct, and maintain behavior,
    usually toward a goal. There are three categories of motivational theories:
    biological, psychosocial, and biopsychosocial. Motivational Theories
    Biological Instinct theories: Behavior is motivated by genetic survival. Drive reduction theory: Motivated behavior occurs as a mean to
    reduce physiological imbalances and return to homeostasis (a balanced
    state). Arousal theory: Organisms seek an optimal level of performance that
    maximizes their performance. Psychosocial Incentive theory: Our goals motivate us. Biopsychosocial Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs: Lists five categories of motivated
    behaviors from basic to most complex. Maslow believed that we must
    progressively work through each level of need to reach a higher state of
    being. Self-actualization is the ultimate level where we reach our full
    potential. Extrinsic Versus Intrinsic
    Motivation can come from two places: outside and inside. Motivation that
    comes from the outside is called extrinsic motivation, and motivation that
    comes from the inside is intrinsic motivation. Intrinsic
    Intrinsic motivation fuels your interests and passions, and drives you to do the
    things that you really enjoy and allow you to grow as a person. Some
    examples of intrinsic motivation are: Getting your degree in something you love. Learning how to play the piano. Learning how to dance salsa. Extrinsic
    Extrinsic motivation is fueled by outer rewards or threats of punishment, like
    buying a new outfit because you want to look good to others, earning a
    material reward, or studying because you don’t want to fail, not because you
    enjoy learning the material.
    Lasting motivation only lasts when you feel it from inside (internally).
