Detailed explanation-1: -Drive Theory Of Motivation Examples The feeling of thirst creates an unpleasantness within our bodies. To reduce this internal tension and return to a state of balance, we’re motivated to reach out for a glass of water to quench our thirst. This is a drive reduction theory example.
Detailed explanation-2: -Which of the following is most consistent with drive theory? Departures from equilibrium result in motivation to engage in behaviors that will restore equilibrium.
Detailed explanation-3: -Drive theory is based on the principle that organisms are born with certain psychological needs and that a negative state of tension is created when these needs are not satisfied. When a need is satisfied, drive is reduced and the organism returns to a state of homeostasis and relaxation.
Detailed explanation-4: -Motivation results from external stimuli that “pull” the organism in certain directions. Ex. People begin eating because their hunger “pushes” them (drive-reduction theory). But the sight of apple pie or ice cream “pulls” them toward continues eating (incentive theory).
