Research on Motivation and Emotion

Research on motivation and emotion explores what drives human behavior and how feelings influence our actions. Motivation refers to the internal or external factors that encourage us to pursue goals, such as hunger prompting eating or ambition inspiring achievement. Emotions are complex psychological responses like happiness, fear, or anger that affect decision-making and interactions. Understanding how motivation and emotion interact helps researchers improve mental health, education, and workplace strategies by identifying how feelings influence behavior and what motivates people to act in certain ways. This research enhances our insight into human nature and well-being.
