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. |
The students who have succeeded in this course; 1.Describe motivation 2.Answer the question of “Why motivation is important?” 3.Differentiate the components of motivation 4.Name the theories about motivation, compare and contrast different theories 5.Describe emotion 6.Differentiate the theories about emotion |
In this class main themes that will be covered; definition of motivation,motivation in historical and contemporary perspective,intrinsic and extrinsic motivation,psychological needs and social needs,goal setting and goal striving,personal control beliefs,nature of emotion and five perennial questions and aspects of emotion. |
