Emotion and Motivation

<p>This podcast covers motivation and emotion. First, I cover motivation, discussing the following topics: intrinsic vs extrinsic motivation, theories of motivation (evolutionary, arousal, drive-reduction, incentive, three needs, and Maslow’s hierarchy) and harmful behaviors (addiction) and motivation. Next, I talk about the following topics within emotion: the 3 components of emotion, emotion and the brain, theories of emotion (evolutionary, James-Lange, Cannon-Bard, Schachter-Singer, Lazarus, and facial feedback), emotion and culture, and emotional disorders.</p> <p>Please email me if you have any comments or concerns: <a href= "mailto:MCATpodcast@medschoolcoach.com">MCATpodcast@medschoolcoach.com</a></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">To learn more about how MedSchoolCoach can help you along your medical school journey, visit us at</span> <a href= "https://www.prospectivedoctor.com/"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Prospective Doctor</span></a><span style= "font-weight: 400;">.</span></p> <p>Thanks for listening!</p>
