PSYC - 245. Human Motivation


3 credit(s)
Motivational questions are fundamental to all of Psychology. The psychology of motivation inquires about the conditions which serve to initiate, maintain, direct, and terminate ongoing behavior. This course considers theory and research associated with the major perspectives on human motivation including instinct, ethological, and sociobiological theories, drive theories, arousal theory, expectancy-value theories, humanistic theories, cognitive consistency theories, and theories of causal attribution. The experimental and clinical significance of these viewpoints receive comparable attention.
