Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Drive-reduction theories propose that our behaviors are motivated by a desire to satisfy physiological or psychological needs that create a state of tension or drive. Once the drive is reduced by engaging in a behavior that satisfies the need, the organism returns to a calm state. This theory suggests that our behaviors are aimed at reducing tension and maintaining homeostasis.
