SOLUTION
The concept of motivation is some driving force within individuals by which they attempt to achieve some goals to satisfy some need or expectation in life. A person never stops after achieving the goal. It is a cycle that continues throughout life, hence, called the Motivational Cycle. It is comprised of four stages:
- Need: An action gets initiated because of an underlying need.
- Drive: It is the force that prods the person to satisfy the need. It has a direction and valence.
- Incentive: Positive outcomes from actions act as an incentive in motivating a person towards achieving a goal.
- Goals: They can be either positive or negative:
- Positive goals: They are the ones that a person tries to attain, such as relationship, food, success, etc.
- Negative goals: They are the ones that a person tries to avoid or escape from, such as embarrassing situations, insults, punishments, etc.
