AP PSYCHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -An implicit motive is a psychological need that arises from situational cues that cause emotional reactions, which then predict, guide, and explain people’s behavior and lifestyle. They can be inferred from the person’s characteristic thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.

Detailed explanation-2: -Motivation, like intelligence, can’t be directly observed. Instead, motivation can only be inferred by noting a person’s behavior. Researchers have proposed theories that try to explain human motivation. These theories include drive reduction theories and Maslow’s hierarchy of needs theory.

Detailed explanation-3: -The behavioristic approach examines how motives are learned and how internal drives and external goals interact with learning to produce behaviour. Learning theorists have taken a somewhat more global perspective when studying motivation than researchers using the biological approach.
