J. Aznarez Motivation is the force behind behavior. Different things can be factors for motivation. Instincts make us eat when we are hungry, sleep when we are tired, and drink when we are thirsty. The body’s basic needs are taken care of by the natural instinct to fulfill those needs. I think it could be argued that the basic needs are also motivated by drive, or lack of, to satisfy those same natural behaviors.
You know you will be hungry by a certain point so you may snack in order to reduce the drive to overeat later, or to satisfy the need before instinct takes over. There are some who seek out stimulation and excitement, thrill seekers, who are motivated by the adrenaline rush they receive. Their motivation is aroused by the anticipation of something that might be considered dangerous by others. Skydiving, bungee jumping, zip lining are all examples of things that would motivate a thrill seeker. Motivation can also be brought on by setting goals for ourselves.

At the same time, being able to fit into the bikini is the incentive motivation to lose the weight. For children, you might use incentive motivation so that they complete homework, by telling them they will receive a snack afterward.

The review defines the nature of economic incentives and of non-financial incentives. Particular attention is paid to the need for developing countries to understand the impacts of health reform measures on incentives. A review of current literature found that the response of physicians to economic incentives inherent in payment mechanisms appears to follow directions expected in theory. Incentive ...
Our motivations are usually accompanied by our emotions, both positive and negative. Positive emotions such as love and joy are felt when we meet and exceed our goals and expectations or because someone has helped to keep their motivation to complete the goals. Fear, anger, and sadness are negative emotions that accompany not satisfying a need or a goal. I start every week in this class fearful that I overthink the assignments or that I do not understand it properly and I will make a mistake. By the next week, I am happy that I did better than I thought I would.
I am driven and motivated by the need to achieve, to accomplish school, to show my children that nothing is impossible, and to show them that we always have to work to achieve our dreams and goals. I think I tend to take a cognitive approach to school, because my ultimate goal is to use my education to help my son, my nephew, and other children work through their emotional and behavioral disorders, but it could also be incentive driven because my reward is to help them achieve their goals and expectations.
