151. Define a drive and a need with regard to drive reduction theory. Give specific examples of each and explain how they are related to one another.
A drive is an aroused state of tension that occurs because of a physiological need. A drive can be in the form of a psychological itch that requires
scratching. A need is a deprivation that energizes the drive to eliminate or reduce the deprivation. Examples of need include food, water, and sex.
Generally, psychologists think of needs as underlying the drives. A person may have a need for water; the drive that accompanies that need is the
person’s feeling of being thirsty. Drive pertains to a psychological state, whereas need involves a physiological one.
Usually but not always, needs and drives are closely associated. Drives do not always follow from needs. For example, if a person is deprived of
oxygen because of a gas leak, he has a need for oxygen. A person may feel lightheaded but may never experience the drive for oxygen that might
lead him to open a window.

155. Describe the main characteristics of a person with anorexia nervosa as listed by the American Psychiatric Association. What are the
circumstances that may contribute to the development of this condition?
The American Psychiatric Association lists four main characteristics of anorexia nervosa: weight less than 85 percent of what is considered normal
for age and height; an intense fear of gaining weight; persistent behavior to prevent weight gain; and a distorted body image. Most individuals with
anorexia nervosa are mostly non-Latino female White adolescents or young adults from well-educated middle- and upper-income families.
Genes play a substantial role in anorexia nervosa. Most psychologists believe that although social factors and experiences may play a role in
triggering dieting, the physical effects of dieting may change the neural networks that then sustain the disordered pattern, in a kind of vicious cycle.
In terms of social factors, problems in family functioning are increasingly thought to be involved in the appearance of eating disorders in
adolescence.

Maslow’s hierarchy of needs theory states that human needs must be satisfied in the following sequence: physiological needs, safety, love and
belongingness, esteem, and self-actualization. The strongest needs (physiological needs) are at the base of the hierarchy, and the weakest (self-
actualization) are at the top.
According to this hierarchy, people are motivated to satisfy their need for food first and to fulfill their need for safety before their need for love.
Examples of the needs hierarchy in the specified sequence may include: water, shelter, family or friends, career satisfaction, and meditation.

Self-determination theory asserts that there are three basic organismic needs: competence, relatedness, and autonomy. The word organismic here
means that these psychological needs are innate and exist in every person. The theory holds that all individuals have the capacity for growth and
fulfillment in them, ready to emerge if given the right context. Importantly, from the perspective of self-determination theory, these organismic needs
do not arise from deficits.

Competence is the first organismic need described by self-determination theory. Competence is met when a person feels that he or she is able to bring
about desired outcomes. Competence motivation involves selfefficacy which is the belief that a person has the competence to accomplish a given
goal or task. It also involves mastery which is the sense that the person can gain skills and overcome obstacles. One domain in which competence
needs may be met is in the realm of achievement. Some individuals are highly motivated to succeed and spend considerable effort striving to excel.

161. Differentiate between intrinsic motivation and extrinsic motivation. Give appropriate examples of each.
Intrinsic motivation is based on internal factors such as organismic needs (competence, relatedness, and autonomy), as well as curiosity, challenge,
and fun. When a person is intrinsically motivated, he or she engages in a behavior because he or she enjoys it. On the other hand, extrinsic motivation
involves external incentives such as rewards and punishers. When a person is extrinsically motivated, he or she engages in a behavior for some
external payoff or to avoid an external punishment. For example, some students study hard because they are internally motivated to put forth
considerable effort and achieve high quality in their work. This is known as intrinsic motivation. Other students study hard because they want to
score good grades or avoid parental disapproval. This is known as extrinsic motivation.

Experts argue that the polygraph errs just under 50 percent of the time. The problem with the polygraph is that heart rate, breathing, and skin
conductance level (SCL) can increase for reasons other than lying—for instance,
because a person is nervous and not necessarily guilty.

163. On a hiking trip, Alex encounters a bear in the woods and begins to run away. How would the James–Lange theory and the Cannon–Bard theory
of emotion explain Alex’s fear of the bear?
According to the James–Lange theory, an individual feels emotion only after experiencing physiological reactions. When Alex sees the bear, he
begins to run away. His aroused body then sends sensory messages to his brain, at which point emotion is perceived. Alex does not run away from
the spot because he is afraid; rather, he is afraid because he is running away.
According to the Cannon–Bard theory, emotion and physiological reactions happen simultaneously. When Alex sees the bear, the thalamus of Alex’s
brain does two things simultaneously. First, it stimulates the autonomic nervous system to produce the physiological changes involved in emotion
(increased heart rate, rapid breathing); second, it sends messages to his cerebral cortex, where the experience of emotion is perceived.

164. Explain the two-factor theory of emotion as put forth by Stanley Schachter and Jerome Singer with an example.
In the two-factor theory of emotion, emotion is determined by two factors: physiological arousal and cognitive labeling. The theory states that often a
person’s body sends out ambiguous messages about what is going on in the world. The person takes those messages and looks for explanations in his
immediate circumstances, and that is what produces emotions. For example, consider the case of a student who is late for an important examination.
He sprints across campus as fast as he can, arriving just in time for the test. As he looks over the questions, his heart starts racing, his breathing
becomes fast, and he feels sweaty. Is he nervous about the test or is he just recovering from his run to the classroom? The two-factor theory suggests
that he just might mistake his bodily sensations as indications that he is scared of the test.
