Comments on What Is The Intensity Of Motivation Within A Psychological Context?
I can’t give you a definate on what your psych professor would say the relationship is, but it just so happens that I teach general psychology at a junior college and am teaching about motivation this week. (quite a coincidence) Motivation is the process that defines the reinforcement value of an outcome. That value depends on situation and may hold more value at one time than the next, thus you may be more motivated to do the same behavior at different times in your life, even in a given day. The more emotionally arounsing the situation is the more motivated your are to do the action. So the intensity of the emotion directly effects your level of motivation.
