Unit 7 – Motivation, Emotion, and Personality
Topic 7.2
What does the incentive theory suggest about human motivation?
All actions are driven by a fear of punishment if we do not comply.
People are motivated to do things because of external rewards.
Human behaviour is primarily determined at birth, making motivations irrelevant.
Individuals act out of self-interest only without any regard for reward consequences.
