Discuss several different categories of motives, including biological motives or drives (such as hunger, thirst, and sex), stimulus motives (such as exploration and curiosity, manipulation, and contact), and learned motives (including aggression, achievement, affiliation, and power).
Please take out a sheet of paper and write down 25 specific things that you did over the last 24 hours. (For example, you might write down items such as getting out of bed, walking to class, having lunch, watching TV, or brushing your teeth). Now, you will categorize your behaviors into one of the three types, or sources of motivation, biological, stimulus, or learned. Using knowledge obtained from your responses please answer the following questions:
Did you have any difficulties identifying the motive for some of the behaviors?
Please share with your classmates some of the behaviors you had difficulty categorizing.
Lastly, you must read other students’ posts and respond to at least one other student.
