Unit 7 – Motivation, Emotion, and Personality
Topic 7.1
How could the Instinct Theory be disputed as a comprehensive explanation for human behavior?
It states that instincts aren’t important drivers of behavior, which is contradicted by evidence.
Humans don't exhibit any instinctual behaviors according to this theory.
It doesn't adequately address learned behaviors and cognitive processes involved in motivation.
This theory suggests all human actions are purely biologically determined.
