The document discusses several topics related to motivation and emotion, including:
1) Hunger is motivated by physiological needs and influenced by gastric signals, blood chemistry, and brain processes like the hypothalamus.
2) Obesity is influenced by biology like genetics and set point as well as cognitive and social factors. Dieting can also have hazards.
3) Approaches to motivation include Maslow's hierarchy of needs and self-determination theory focusing on competence, relatedness, and autonomy. Intrinsic and extrinsic motivation also influence behavior.
4) Emotion involves physiological arousal and is influenced by the sympathetic nervous system, neural circuits like the amygdala, and neurotransmitters like dopamine.
5. Obesity &
Eating Behavior
60% of Americans are
overweight. Increase risk for
hypertension, diabetes, kidney
disease, and other

Dieting & Hazards of Dieting
Disordered Eating
dieting highest among
young women
Anorexia nervosa
Bulimia nervosa
8. Approaches to
Motivation
Maslows Hierarchy of Needs
main needs met in order:
physiological
safety
love/belonging
esteem
Self Actualization
9. Approaches to Motivation
Self- Determination Theory
Three basic needs
Competence
individuals feel they are able to bring about desired outcomes
Relatedness
need to engage in warm relations with other people
Autonomy (sense of being in control of ones life)
10. Approaches to Motivation
Issues with Self-Determination Theory
May not be universal (cultures vary in how they promote those
three needs)
No Child Left Behind: focuses on external outcomes, thus
according to SDT, it undermines growth oriented motivations of
students and teachers
11. Approaches to
Motivation
Intrinsic v Extrinsic Motivation
Intrinsic: based on internal
factors such as autonomy,
competence, and
relatedness, curiosity,
challenge, effort
Extrinsic: involves external
incentives such as gaining
rewards or avoid
punishment
12. Approaches to
Motivation
Self-Regulation: Successful
pursuit of goals
Goal Setting:
speci鍖c, short term,
challenging
accomplish dont avoid
Planning how and
monitoring progress are
critical points
14. Emotion
both motivation and emotion
spur an individual into action
Emotion is feeling or affect that
can involve physiological arousal,
conscious experience, and
behavioral expression
15. The Biology of
Emotion
Arousal

Measuring Arousal

16. Biology of
Emotion
Neural Circuits and
Neurotransmitters
amygdala
Cerebral Hemispheres
Dopamine (happiness/
positive emotions)
Norepinephrine: (regulating
arousal)
17. Cognitive
Factors
