Motivation and Emotion

Internet Exercises

A good starting point for an understanding of emotions and motivation is the site below. When you get there, find the link to Daniel Goldman's "Emotional Intelligence." Take the EI quiz to measure your emotional intelligence. How did you do on the quiz? What do you think about the concept? Is EQ a valid measure of intelligence?

Read the excellent summary found at the site below of Abraham Maslow's "Hierarchy of Needs."; Develop an "ad" for at least two of the levels, but be sure to include the "self-actualized" level. Maslow's theory has been criticized in recent years. What do you think? Are there flaws in the theory of hierarchy of needs?
