![]() ![]() Who is no more persuasive than a chimpanzee who wishes to impose his role in society from a position of dominance and privilege? It is difficult for any submissive individual to oppose these desires. Take, for example, the concept of persuasion. In all this, do humans in their behavioral choices resemble animals? The motivational levels are always the same, although it is true that in animals there are no or few situations in which their behavior is conditioned by particular or learning situations. Motivational activation should be neither too high, nor too low, but balanced. But he/she must never exaggerate because in the competition this could be counterproductive. The internal drives of an athlete can increase the level of physiological activation that is detected by increased muscle and even psychological tension. To be successful, however, you must always be very motivated and never let yourself go in the face of the first difficulties. They push organisms to restore order, a balance when it begins to fail (it is called a homeostatic principle, just like a thermostat), as when you are hungry and you are driven to go in search of food or water when you are thirsty.īut there are other internal drives that are much more sophisticated and this concerns more than anything else the human motivational system, for example when we are driven to look for things very different from food and water, for example when we want to embark on a university career rather than that of a car mechanic or financial advisor or politician or other of these kinds, even if at the base of these drives there is always the mirage of making a lot of money and living in well-being. Appropriate stimuli must be launched, one must wait for the first reaction of the partner and then move on to launch other signals, in a succession of stimuli and responses linked together.Īll of this, from a point of view of external behavior, that is, for what is seen, but the drives also work internally. ![]() In animals, but also in humans, courtship is manifested by strong motivational rituals that push an individual to behave in a certain way that is as suitable as possible for the circumstances, otherwise the final success will not be achieved. To give an example of hereditary coordination, let's takes the courtship. They are never learned, even if they can sometimes be conditioned by instrumentalization and coercion or imposition by someone or a system. They are inspired by internal drives of an innate nature or as the scientists say hereditarily coordinate. All motivations are therefore natural, never artificial. In psychology, it is called emotional potential. In essence, motivations can be considered special emotions or amplification of an initial emotional state. All actions are closely linked to an emotional state that we all experience at a specific moment in life. They are internal drives to act, to make decisions, in short, to do something rather than remain passive and indifferent. ![]() Motivational drivesīut what is it that drives monkeys, but also man, to behave socially in a certain way rather than another? They are motivational drives. It is the mothers who educate their infants to behave properly in the society in which they live, while the adult males, assuming that they are the biological fathers of these offspring, assume only secondary roles of a protective type, but very limited over time. The figure of the father in our society is institutionalized, in animals this does not exist.įor example, in monkeys, almost all of them, the strongest parental relationships are mother-linear, as are internal hierarchies. The only difference is that the figure of the father, generally, in animals, with due exceptions, is secondary, while in man it is fundamental. They can be temperamentally like us, introverts, extroverts even in their sexual orientations, in the relationships they have with companions, relatives and so on. We must then take into account that all this is often countered by the inconsistency of some of our behavior and also of that of animals which often highlights the fundamental traits of their personality because even animals have their own personality. If we want, we can also call them “rules” and their motivations are fundamental for a peaceful life on which, however, we must make some reflections and not exemplify as we often like to do. In all societies, there are principles and also tactics, including those of persuasion, coherence, social reprobation, cooperation, mutual concession, emulation, commitment, moral duty, even sympathy or antipathy, etc., which regulate our daily life and also of animals. ![]()
