there seems to be some evidence that exposure to a motivational theory can result in people making true the motivational theory

the idea’s been banging around in my head for, well, surely many years now, and last couple days resurfaced, some sentences formed and featured in my internal monologue.

the impression I get, from TV, is there’s a world, an industry of sorts, involved in this activity, or business if you will, influencing core motivational theory

anyway, to a starter, into the proposition…

what prophylactic beliefs, or ways, do you have to stop corruption of your motivation theory, about self and others?

and what’s the core force of desire (say fundamental desires for starters) that guard your core motivational theory?

Do I even have a motivational theory?

Gaaaaaawd. Not another random word generator.

I really haven’t the foggiest idea what you mean by this. Do you have an example?

I’ll have to look up “motivational theory”, I don’t have any.

> Frequently-cited motivational theories include the escape-seeking dichotomy model, drive-reduction theory, cognitive dissonance theory, and motivations driven by Abraham Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs.

Oh, I’m a big fan of both cognitive dissonance theory and Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs.

I hadn’t thought of either as a “motivational theory”, though. I see cognitive dissonance theory as a coping strategy used in formulating a world view. I see “Hierarchy of Needs” as a simplification of how “quality of life” means different things to different people.

> Herzberg’s Motivation-Hygiene Theory

Oh yeah, know that too. I see that again not as a motivational theory but as a proof that those things that attract us are not the opposite of those that repel us.

I still haven’t a clue what transition meant in the OP.

have you ever thought the thought, and said something like (to your self) why does anyone do anything

maybe it requires being tired, grumpy and frustrated, a thought to ease expectations, it’s a why bother

save a conversation about egoism, hedonism, altruism, that sort of thing, i’m thinking there are simpler terms, simpler ideas people employ, more native ideas, soft generalizations perhaps regards what motivates people

sort of a folk psychology, even if in weather talk, hints of anyway

i’ll start with a dumb proposition, related that idea above

if you restricted a motivational theory to only (or primarily) information exchanged of what you’d broadly categorize as weather talk, what might an analysis of motivation yield, some generalizing ideas of people to that end

an understanding tends to be what appeals to the understander, for starters

Yes, but i’m missing a link to “motivation” in general and “motivational theory” in particular. What was the cause that motivated you to start a thread about motivational theory?
