Unit 7 – Motivation, Emotion, and Personality
Topic 7.1
How might the drive-reduction theory be challenged as a comprehensive explanation of motivation?
It cannot explain why physiological needs prompt motivated behavior.
It doesn't account for the motives behind exploratory, curiosity-driven behaviors.
The theory fails to include an understanding of homeostasis.
This theory can't explain goal-oriented actions because they lack immediate gratification.
