Motivational Concepts

Drive Theory: This is a theory suggesting that humans are motivated by unsatisfied needs. It's like being hungry (unsatisfied need) so you eat (motivated action).

Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs: This is a model that ranks human needs from basic physiological ones like food and water to higher-level ones like self-esteem and self-actualization. Imagine it as a pyramid with basic needs at the bottom and complex ones at the top.

Intrinsic Motivation: This refers to doing something because it's personally rewarding, not for some external reward. Like playing a game because you enjoy it, not just to win prizes.
