Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Motivations refer to the needs, desires or wants that drive behavior. Drives and instincts are similar concepts, but they specifically refer to innate or automatic responses to particular stimuli. Incentives are external factors, such as rewards or punishments, that influence behavior. Therefore, while all of these terms are related to behavior, motivations best capture the broad range of factors that can influence why we do what we do.
