What to Focus On

  • Motivation is a need or want that directs behaviour.
  • A balanced level of arousal helps goal-directed action.
  • External rewards can motivate behaviour.
  • Maslow arranged needs in five levels.
  • Lower needs generally come before higher needs.
  • Physiological needs are the lowest level.
  • Primary needs are biological and essential for survival.
  • Primary needs are cyclical.
  • Homeostasis maintains balance in the body.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Motivation and emotion are the same thing.

Maslow's hierarchy is a fixed universal law for every person in every culture.

Higher needs can be fully satisfied before lower needs such as hunger and thirst.
