Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Biological drives are caused by internal stimuli within the body, such as hunger, thirst, and sexual arousal. These drives motivate individuals to fulfill their physiological needs. Learned behaviors and external incentives may influence how individuals satisfy these needs, but they do not cause the drives themselves. The drive-reduction principle suggests that individuals are motivated to reduce their primary drives (such as thirst or hunger) by engaging in behaviors that satisfy these needs, but exceptions to this principle may also occur.
