combo of needs and presses
Murray’s 3 needs
achievement
affiliation
power

either super easy ones or ones that are rarely accomplished (bc no one’s expecting them to achieve it)
people high in what need are more likely to conform
affiliation
is affiliation about wanting to stay connected to people or a need for intimacy
staying connected; not necessarily intimacy
individuals with inhibited power motivation
very others-focused on the outside
self determination theory (Deci and Ryan)
people are perceived as active in seeking the best way to grow
2 underlying bhvr dynamics (self det theory)
self-determined actions: actions taken out of intrinsic motivation
controlled actions: actions taken to get a reward
3 general needs (not Murray)
autonomy: freedom to make choices
competence: develop/use skills effectively
relatedness: feeling connected to others
causality orientation
motivational focus
3 orientations
autonomous: focus on intrinsic motives
controlled: focus on extrinsic motives
impersonal: being unmotivated
functional equivalence
different bhvrs that have the same intent
Michel vs others in terms of bhvr correlations being around 0.30
Michel thinks it’s a weak number
others think it’s a good number bc we don’t want to be too alike
What did Michel’s theory focus on
self regulation and delay of gratification
4 components of self-regulation styles
competencies/skills
personal constructs: schemas, scripts
expectancies: what will I get out of delaying gratification?
plans/goals: refer back to your goals as a reminder of why you’re delaying gratification
