Identify the incorrect statement(s) regarding prominent theories and sources of motivation.

  1. Abraham Maslow proposed that individuals are motivated to fulfill a hierarchy of needs, ranging from survival to self-actualization.
  2. Albert Bandura emphasized self-efficacy as a central driver of motivation, defining it as the belief in one's ability to succeed.
  3. According to Atkinson's Achievement Motivation Theory, the 'Fear of Failure (Ff)' component in the nAch formula always contributes positively to the overall tendency to engage in an achievement-oriented task.
  4. Sources of motivation include 'Drive' (tension for needs), 'Incentives' (environmental objects), and 'Instinct' (innate behavioral patterns).

    Consider the components of the Motivation Cycle and types of motivation.

    1. The Motivation Cycle typically begins with a felt need, which then generates a drive to fulfill that need.
    2. Incentives are external factors that can sustain the drive towards a goal, while the goal/reward represents the desired outcome.
    3. Intrinsic motivation involves engaging in an activity for external rewards or to avoid punishment.
    4. Achieving a goal provides satisfaction and feedback, reinforcing the motivation cycle for future endeavors.

      Which of the following statements regarding the concept and characteristics of motivation are correct?

      1. The word "Motivation" is derived from the Latin word "movere," meaning "to move."
      2. Motivation can be described as any behavior aimed at achieving a specific goal.
      3. A key characteristic of motivation is that it is an entirely internal mental state arising from a desire.
      4. Motivation itself is the ultimate goal, and its intensity always increases as the goal achievement approaches.
