Psychology 100 Emotions & Motivations
John T. Cacioppo has written a book in psychology. Cacioppo expressed throughout the textbook how we can differentiate our motivation and emotions through our own relationships with others. He mentioned how we have people communicate differently through the environmental factors in sexual motivation and sexual emotions. Psychologist has proposed a number of different theories of motivation, including drive theory, instinct theory and humanistic theory. Psychologist believes that we as humans have explored some specific motives: hunger, achievements, sexuality. The ability to remain aware of our emotions or motivations is to always emphasize the interaction between our view of self and others, the role of power in social interaction and how groups of people with whom we interact, affect our decision making process. Cacioppo has explained how we relate our communication with our reaction occur automatic responses to situations. We often communicate our emotions to others through behaviors such as facial expressions, body language, gestures, and tone of voice.” (P.218) We ask ourselves questions everyday through our life’s span in how people can go through their days feeling happy, sad, depressed or how they might think of their stability need?
In my opinion I think people are having an emotional breakdown in this life span. Because of the economy issues, it plays a big role in people’s emotions. For instincts, people lost their jobs during the recession and many suicides had taken place due to their depressions. This had become an economic burden of depressive disorders in the working status. Divorce and domestic violence also become a major impact to depression. For example, generally the man is wealthier husbands then women in the economic status. The men are consider being the bread winner
