1
New cards

Psychologist Abraham Maslow

pointed out that not all needs are created equal.

2
New cards

Plateau phase

- Respiration and heart rate continue at an elevated level, genitals secrete fluids in preparation for coitus.

3
New cards

Thomas Holmes

Psychologists and Richard Rahe designed one of the first instruments to measure stress.

4
New cards

Incentives

are stimuli that we are drawn to due to learning.

5
New cards

Respiration

and heart rate return to normal resting states, male systems experience a refractory period- a time period that must elapse before another orgasm.

6
New cards

Self actualization

, a need to fulfill our unique potential as a person.

7
New cards

Psychologists

study stress not only to further our understanding of motivation and emotion but also to help us with problems caused by stress.

8
New cards

Humans

(and some other animals) seem to be motivated to figure out our world and master skills, sometimes regardless of the benefits of the skills or knowledge.

9
New cards

drive

A(n) is our impulse to act in a way that satisfies this need.

10
New cards

Metabolic

rate- how quickly our body uses energy.

11
New cards

Garcia

The effect, in particular, can drastically affect what foods make us hungry.

12
New cards

parasympathetic nervous system

The returns our physiological state to normal.

13
New cards

Orgasm

- Rhythmic genital contractions that may help conception, respiration, and heart rate increase further, males ejaculate, often accompanied by a pleasurable euphoria.

14
New cards

Initial excitement

- Genital areas become engorged with blood, penis becomes erect, clitoris swells, respiration and heart rate increase.

15
New cards

Bulimics

are obsessed with food and their weight.

16
New cards

sympathetic nervous system

The organism readies itself to meet the challenge through activation of the .

17
New cards

Intrinsic motivators

are rewards we get internally, such as enjoyment or satisfaction.

18
New cards

Extrinsic motivators

are rewards that we get for accomplishments from outside ourselves (for example, grades, salary, and so on)

19
New cards

Stanley Schachters two factor theory

explains emotional experiences in a more complete way than either the James- Lange or Cannon- Bard theories do.

20
New cards

Achievement motivation

is one theory that tries to explain the motivations behind these more complex behaviors.

21
New cards

Hans Selyes general adaptation syndrome

(GAS) describes the general response humans and other animals have to a stressful event.

22
New cards

Initial excitement

Genital areas become engorged with blood, penis becomes erect, clitoris swells, respiration and heart rate increase

23
New cards

Plateau phase

Respiration and heart rate continue at an elevated level, genitals secrete fluids in preparation for coitus

24
New cards

Orgasm

25
New cards

Multiple approach-avoidance conflicts

In these, you must choose between two or more things, each of which has both desirable and undesirable features

26
New cards

Perceived Control

Control over events tends to lessen stress, while a perceived lack of control generally makes the event more stressful

27
New cards

need

is one of our requirements for survival, such as food, water, or shelter.

28
New cards

drive

is our impulse to act in a way that satisfies this need.

29
New cards

homeostasis

a balanced internal state.

30
New cards

Primary drives

are biological needs, like thirst.

31
New cards

Secondary drives

are learned drives

32
New cards

Arousal Theory

which states that we seek an optimum level of excitement or arousal.

33
New cards

social facilitation

We might perform well at an easy task with a very high level of arousal, but the same high level of arousal would prevent us from performing well on a difficult task (this concept is similar to

34
New cards

opponent process

meaning a motivation to return to our baseline, neutral state.

35
New cards

Incentives

are stimuli that we are drawn to due to learning.

36
New cards

Abraham Maslow

pointed out that not all needs are created equal.

37
New cards

Self-actualization

a need to fulfill our unique potential as a person.

38
New cards

Set-point theory

describes how the hypothalamus might decide what impulse to send.

39
New cards

Metabolic rate

how quickly our body uses energy

40
New cards

externals

are more motivated to eat by external food cues, such as attractiveness or availability of food.

41
New cards

internals

are less affected by the presence and presentation of food and respond more often to internal hunger cues.

42
New cards

Garcia effect

in particular, can drastically affect what foods make us hungry.

43
New cards

Bulimia

People with bulimia eat large amounts of food in a short period of time (binging) and then get rid of the food (purging) by vomiting, excessive exercise, or the use of laxatives.

44
New cards

Anorexia nervosa

starve themselves to below 85 percent of their normal body weight and refuse to eat due to their obsession with weight.

45
New cards

Initial excitement

Genital areas become engorged with blood, penis becomes erect, clitoris swells, respiration and heart rate increase.

46
New cards

Plateau phase

Respiration and heart rate continue at an elevated level, genitals secrete fluids in preparation for coitus.

47
New cards

Orgasm

Rhythmic genital contractions that may help conception, respiration, and heart rate increase further, males ejaculate, often accompanied by a pleasurable euphoria.

48
New cards

Resolution phase

Respiration and heart rate return to normal resting states, male systems experience a refractory period—a time period that must elapse before another orgasm.

49
New cards

Sexual Orientation

Studies show that gay and lesbian sexual orientation is not related to traumatic childhood experiences, parenting styles, the quality of relationships with parents, masculinity or femininity, or the sexual orientation of our parents.

50
New cards

Achievement Motivation

is one theory that tries to explain the motivations behind these more complex behaviors.

51

52
New cards

Intrinsic motivators

are rewards we get internally, such as enjoyment or satisfaction.

53

54

occurs when you must choose between two unattractive outcomes.

55
New cards

approach-avoidance conflict

exists when one event or goal has both attractive and unattractive features.

56
New cards

Multiple approach-avoidance conflicts

In these, you must choose between two or more things, each of which has both desirable and undesirable features.

57
New cards

William James and Carl Lange

they theorized that we feel emotion because of biological changes caused by stress.

58
New cards

Cannon and Philip Bard

They demonstrated that similar physiological changes correspond with drastically different emotional states.

59
New cards

Stanley Schachter’s two-factor theory

explains emotional experiences in a more complete way than either the James-Lange or Cannon-Bard theories do.

60
New cards

Stress

can refer to either certain life events (stressors) or how we react to these changes in the environment (stress reactions).

61
New cards

Thomas Holmes and Richard Rahe

designed one of the first instruments to measure stress.

62
New cards

Hans Selye’s general adaptation syndrome (GAS)

63
New cards

Heart rate increases, blood is diverted away from other body functions to muscles needed to react.

64
New cards

Resistance

The body remains physiologically ready (high heart rate, and so on).

65
New cards

Exhaustion

The parasympathetic nervous system returns our physiological state to normal.

66
New cards

Perceived Control

Control over events tends to lessen stress, while a perceived lack of control generally makes the event more stressful.
