Developed the drive-reduction theory of motivation

Drives which stem from biological needs e.g. food, water
Primary drives
Drives which do not stem from biological needs and which are learned e.g. money, power
Secondary drives
Theory of motivation based around homeostasis and the idea that organisms need to keep their physiological systems at an equilibrium
Drive-reduction theory
The law that suggests there is an inverted U-shaped curve relating the level of arousal to performance - too low or too high and performance is reduced
Yerkes-Dodson Law
Cognitive process where there is a self-motivated desire for an object or action
Internal salience
Developed the transtheoretical model of behaviour change
Prochaska and DiClemente
Seven possible stages in the transtheoretical model of behaviour change
Precontemplation Contemplation Preparation/determination Action Maintenance Termination Relapse
Stage of the transtheoretical model of behaviour change where someone is not intending to change a behaviour in the near future, and largely not accepting the behaviour is problematic
Precontemplation
Stage of the transtheoretical model of behaviour change where someone is aware their behaviour is problematic and is weighing up the pros and cons of changing their behaviour
Contemplation
Stage of the transtheoretical model of behaviour change where someone is intending to change their behaviour in the near future
Preparation/determination
