Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Motivation involves direction, which refers to the goal or outcome that an individual is trying to achieve. Prof Psyche is studying how individuals make choices, which is a question of direction rather than activation (the process by which behavior is initiated) or needs (the internal states that drive behavior). Deprivation is also a component of motivation, but it is not directly relevant to the question of how individuals choose between different options.
