Psychology of Motivation

Intrinsic

Motivation

Inconsistency in Learning

• Sometimes, we are motivated to do things from within. However, when we encounter difficulties in learning there’s a tendency that we will cease or put an end on what we are doing.

• This kind of motivation usually comes easily; out of our interests, drives, and desires. Unfortunately these are often the things that we don't do as much as we want to because of work, school, or other life obligations. Sporadically, the people around us are very judgmental to the point that we feel insecure and unworthy of what we are doing.

Curiosity

Students are likely to be intrinsically motivated if they:• attribute their educational results to factors under their

own control, also known as autonomy;• believe they have the skills to be effective agents in

reaching their desired goals, also known as self-efficacy beliefs;

• are interested in mastering a topic, not just in achieving good grades.

• Something in the physical environment attracts the learner's attention or there is an optimal level of discrepancy between present knowledge or skills and what these could be if the learner engaged in some activity.

Goal-setting

Theory

Splitting (Borderline Personality Disorder)

• The tendency of those with these disorders to view others as all-good or all-bad. It’s an intensely emotional and defensive dynamic – and it can become highly contagious in the workplace. People who engage in this splitting dynamic don’t even realize it and often become “high-conflict” people, because they increase conflicts around themselves instead of resolving them.

• Engage your workers in a group goal-setting. Having employees work as teams with a specific team goal, rather than as individuals with only individual goals, increases productivity. Furthermore, the combination of compatible group and individual goals is more effective than either individual or group goals alone. Also, it builds camaraderie among workers as they share their personal goals.

Behaviour Preferences

Liwanag, Kryssia

http://www.achieve-goal-setting-success.com/personality.html

• To set your own goals, you need to understand yourself and your personality first. Goal setting is a journey with yourself, so it is important for you to know what makes you motivated

• We all act differently to different things. This is a natural behaviour that is unique to you and affects how you view success and failure. Find out what your natural behaviour tendency is and how this will affect your goal setting.

Learned

Helplessness

Theory

Anxiety

• A woman fears her father's angry outbursts. Sometimes he becomes violent but usually his weapon of choice is a verbal torrent of criticism. The woman tries to avoid her father as much as possible, and tries to be quiet when he is present, hoping he will not notice her. She may begin to feel shame and avoid talking to others because she does not want them to know what is happening.

Anxiety continued

• You have to begin to act more independently of the person with the mental illness. Perhaps you need to stop seeking their approval for your decisions, stop asking for their permission to take care of yourself, stop letting them take the lead in your relationship. After all - if you are the one who is mentally healthy, you need to be the one who is making the decisions about what is best for you.

Dysfunction

• Arises when a person’s negative experiences are generalized to their broader situation or outlook.

Murao, Raymond

http://outofthefog.net/CommonNonBehaviors/LearnedHelplessness.html

• For example, a husband's behavior had no influence or control over a situation. However, in an attempt to rationalize what happened, he may begin to review all the things he has done to motivate his wife to hurt him so much. He is making the mistake of looking at himself to explain the random actions of his wife. He is learning to be helpless.

Pessimistic Thinker

Reyes, Elvis

Schultz, D. and Schultz, S. E. Theories of Personalities, 8th edition.

• Having or showing a lack of hope for the future.• People who express bad things to happen to them.• Just like in the example of Seligman in experiment on dogs

using classical conditioning being pessimistic is applicable on this theory.

• One situation that can be fit to learned helplessness is ”Having a cancer”. A sense of hopelessness occur in some people who have this condition.
