motivational psychology

Motivational psychology is the study of what drives human behavior, focusing on understanding the internal and external factors that inspire people to act. It explores how desires, goals, emotions, and beliefs influence decisions and actions. This field helps explain why individuals pursue certain achievements, avoid others, or stay committed to their pursuits. By understanding motivation, we can better facilitate personal growth, improve performance, and foster well-being, as it sheds light on the processes that energize and direct human behavior toward desired outcomes.
