What
drives you to want to learn about psychology? Why did you choose your
career? Your partner? Where you would live? Are your
drives different from other people or do we all share the same goals in
life?
This
chapter will discuss the various theories related to motivation and emotion.
You will learn the different views on motivation, from those deemed
instinctual, internal, and those viewed as external. You will also be
presented with the theories of emotion, an abstract concept which has yet to
have an agreed upon definition.
