Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The concept of motivation involves sensing a need or desire (such as hunger or thirst), acting in a way that will meet that need or desire (finding food or water), and ultimately reducing the sensation of need (satisfying hunger or thirst). Drives (A) are one type of motivational concept, but they only refer to internal states that push an organism towards a goal (such as thirst). Affects (B) are emotions or moods, which can be related to motivation but are not a central part of the definition. Activation (C) refers to the level of energy or arousal in an organism, which can also be related to motivation but is not a comprehensive definition. Emotion (D) refers specifically to the subjective experience of feeling - while emotions can impact motivation (such as feeling motivated by excitement), they are not equivalent concepts.
