About the Book

Motivation and Emotion explores the influences that determine a range of behaviours: from those with clear biological links - eating, sleeping and sexual activity, for example, to specifically human concerns such as the need to achieve success or win approval. It also explores the feelings and emotions that often guide behaviour. The author explores various theoretical perspectives on what it is to be a human being: a biological organism with biological needs; a responder to environmental signals of pleasure and pain, a cognitively aware agent continuously processing information regarding current circumstances. No one view is taken as pre-eminent. All are necessary to illuminate fully the complexities of human behaviour.
