Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Valence refers to the positive or negative value that a psychological fact holds for an individual, which determines the level of attractiveness of the fact as a means of satisfying a need. For example, if someone is thirsty, water would have a positive valence and be attractive as a means of satisfying that need, while a soda with high sugar content may have a negative valence and be less attractive as a means of satisfying that same need. Lewin's theory of needs and valence is central to understanding human motivation and behavior.
