Are
Emotion and Motivation Intertwined?
Motivation and emotion are often
intertwined.
I.
Emotion can cause motivation.
Example: Anger over your work environment may
motivate you to look for a new job. Jealousy
of an ex-boyfriend may motivate you to date his roommate.
II.
Motivation can cause
emotion.
Example: Your motivation
to win the community marathon may lead you to feel anxiety over the competition. The outcome of the race will
cause you to feel either elation if
you win or disappointment if you
lose.
Motivation and emotion
are closely related and may intertwine but they are not the same thing.
Are you motivated by
emotion?
