Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Drive theory describes how motivation and behaviors result from physiological needs or drives, such as hunger or thirst. Studying long hours is a more complex behavior that involves multiple factors such as intrinsic motivation, personal goals, and external reinforcements, making drive theory less applicable. The other choices are more straightforward and are more easily explained by drive theory, as they involve satisfying basic physiological needs or drives.
