Course Objectives:	The question of '"what causes behavior" will be answered from the perspective of psychology of motivation and emotion. The purpose of this course is to show the ways of thinking critically about human behavior. Major themes and theories of motivation will be discussed and important aspects of motivation such as psychological needs, social needs, intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, cognitions and emotions will be covered in this course. While examining those topics two fundamental questions, " What causes behavior?" and " Why does behavior vary in its intensity?" will be answered.
