MOTIVATION AND EMOTION LECTURE OPENER SUGGESTIONS: Opening quotes: “The full definition of the person or of human nature . . . must include intrinsic values. . .” Abraham Maslow (1908-1970) “We are so made, that we can only derive intense enjoyment from a contrast and only very little from a state of things.” Sigmund Freud (1856-1939) Opening art works: Claude Monet (1840-1926) Water Lilies and Agapanthas, 1914-1917. This is a good example of motivation because Monet was determined to be able to paint despite having cataracts (which were operated on in his 80s). Gustav Klimt (1862-1918), The Kiss, 1907-08 Jackson Pollack (1912-1956), Lavender Mist, 1950. OPENING THEMES The topics of motivation and emotion are ones that are basic to psychology. Theories of motivation attempts to explain the “why’s” of behavior; theories of emotion attempt to explain why we feel the way we do. Both areas share the quality of involving a variety of theoretical approaches. These approaches reflect the major perspectives in psychology ranging from biological to social. There are important implications of theories in both areas for the way that we feel about ourselves and our daily activities. The topic of sexuality, included in the module on motivation, is one of natural interest and concern to most students and can readily be expanded upon within the overall framework of considering types of human needs.
