Q

Are primary and secondary drives intrinsic or extrinsic motivations?

A

Extrinsic (it comes from the outside)

22
Q

Incentive theory

A

Outlines social learning of secondary drives

23
Q

Overall contribution of drives to motivation theories (4) behaviourist

A

Basic building block of motivation theories

Unconsciously computed evaluations of need

Emerge into awareness as feeling of tension/discomfort

Either biologically innate or learned via association

24
Q

How did cognitive psychology add to motivational theories?

A

Theories about how we organise our knowledge when our desires are more complex and require multiple planned steps

25
Q

What are the 3 cognitive theories of motivation?

A

Goal-setting Theory
Expectancy -value theory
Self Determination theory

26
Q

Extrinsic (goal-oriented) Motivation Theories (2):
(Cognitive Psychology)

A

Goal-setting Theory
Expectancy -value theory

27
Q

Intrinsic (Activity-oriented) Motivation Theory
(Cognitive Psychology)

A

Self-Determination Theory

28
Q

Goal-Setting Theory involves: (2)
(3 cognitive theories of motivation)

A

Imagining future outcomes
Plan intermediary steps to reach goal

29
Q

Expectancy Value Theory involves (2):
(3 cognitive theories of motivation)

A

Motivation is affected by
How valuable the goal is (prospect)
How plausible (probable) the steps to achieving the goals are

Eg. Motivation is greater when goals seem closer or more real

30
Q

How can Expectancy-value be adaptive?

A

Adaptive (change to suit conditions)
Encouragement -> goal is more plausible/ achievable

31
Q

How can Expectancy-value be maladaptive?

A

Maladaptive (cannot adjust adequately to a situation)
Negative Stereotypes ->goal is perceived as less plausible

32
Q

Intrinsic (activity oriented) motivation:

A

Where actions we are performing are compelling and provide motivation in themselves

33
Q

3 intrinsic motivations in Self-Determination theory:
(3 cognitive theories of motivation)

A

Autonomy
Competence
Relatedness

34
Q

Autonomy
(3 intrinsic motivations <- Self-Determination Theory)

A

Sense that your will has an impact on the world

35
Q

Competence
(3 intrinsic motivations <- Self-Determination Theory)

A

Sense that you can succeed with moderate effort (not too easy or hard)

36
Q

Relatedness
(3 intrinsic motivations <- Self-Determination Theory)

A

Sense that your experience is shared with others

37
Q

More intrinsic motivations =

A

More motivation

38
Q

How can extrinsic motivations affect intrinsic motivations?

A

Extrinsic motivations can undermine intrinsic motivations.
Eg. Children who expect rewards for an activity are less likely to engage in the same activity later than those who were intrinsically motivated

39
Q

Humanistic psychologists contribution to motivation theories:

A

Focus on
positive growth
how different needs relate to each
Effects of deprivation

40
Q

Maslow’s hierarchy of needs:

A

Arranges common needs by their order physiological and social priority
Lower needs need to be met before you can pursue higher nees

41
Q

How does evolutionary psychology add to motivation theories?

A

provides insight to exceptions of Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs

Considers survival and reproductive context of the human species

42
Q

With evolutionary psychology, what would primates risk safety for?

A

Status & Fairness
We are a social group and may not eat for fear of social rejection or humiliation

43
Q

Why is motivation relevant to Allied Health Practice?

Client motivation affects their ability to meet health goals
Understanding client motivation can optimise health outcomes

What do people want to do?
How strongly do they want to do it? (how do you build motivation?)

45
Q

Behaviourist approaches to motivation: (2)

A

Motivation comes from conditioned (learned) responses in our past
Reinforcements can drive motivation and shape behaviour
Eg. Stickers, verbal praises

46
Q

Cognitive approaches to motivation:

A

Motivation comes from
Goal Setting Theory
Expectancy-Value Theory
Self-Determination Theory

47
Q

Goal setting theory
(motivation in AH)

A

Motivation comes from goals and goal setting

48
Q

Expectancy-Value Theory
(motivation in AH)

A

Set Just right challenge tasks (not too hard and not too easy)

49
Q

Self Determination Theory
(motivation in AH)

A

Consider Intrinsic & Extrinsic motivations
Increase Intrinsic motivations by providing intervention activities that have a purpose -> intrinsic motivation (sense of achievement from completing activity)

50
Q

How do you increase 3 needs for intrinsic motivation (Competence, Relatedness & Autonomy) in AHA activities?

A

Competence: Just right challenge
Relatedness: with others - relationships
Autonomy: provide choice

51
Q

Which one is more important, Extrinsic or Intrinsic Motivation

A

Self Determination Theory is well supported in research. Intrinsic motivation will lead to long term behaviour vs continuous extrinsic rewards
