Emotion and Motivation Psychology Assignment
Emotion and Motivation Psychology Assignment
As you read Chapter 10: Emotion and Motivation, take notes of major concepts and remember to cite the textbook (Spielman et al, 2020) within your response for any information that you summarize/paraphrase from the textbook. Any other sources that you use must also be cited in APA style. Include a complete list of all your sources at the end of your post. This will prepare you to answer the following questions:
Schools often use concrete rewards to increase adaptive behaviors. How might this be a disadvantage for students intrinsically motivated to learn? What are the educational implications of the potential for concrete rewards to diminish intrinsic motivation for a given task?
Producers of popular movies and series typically indicate that they have increased representation regarding people of different sizes, sexual orientations, gender expressions, and abilities. Do you think that is true? Is representation a way to support diverse people? Elaborate on your answers.
Hint: Define the major concepts within the questions, cite, and then provide examples that demonstrate your understanding and ability to apply core concepts to real-world situations.
For the second prompt, consider if representation helps diverse people. How and why?
If there is positive/accurate representation what can that do when it comes to fulfilling certain needs and motivators specifically within this population? Or maybe you think there is insufficient/inaccurate representation and therefore what are the effects on motivation and emotion for diverse populations?
You can apply whichever theory from chapter 10 resonates the most with your perspective regarding this topic.
Your response must be composed of at least 200 words, use proper academic tone, grammar, and spelling, and be properly cited.
