Talk:Motivation and emotion/Book/2024/ERG theory

Initial suggestions

@U3183521: Thanks for tackling this topic. Some initial suggestions:

• Note that there was a previous attempt, so check out that chapter and the feedback on its talk page.
• Check out other related chapters and see how you can build on, link to, and integrate with that work:
  • Category:Motivation and emotion/Book/Motivation
  • Category:Motivation and emotion/Book/Needs/Psychological]
• What psychological theories can help to understand? What is the main research in this area?

Let me know if I can do anything else as you go along. Sincerely, James -- Jtneill - Talk - c 12:53, 7 August 2023 (UTC)

Comparisons to other similar theories

Hi @U3183521,

After the last lecture I would recommend looking at similar theories such as:

• Maslow's Hieracrhy of Needs
• Self-Determination Theory
• Need Theory.

I think it would greatly suppliment your book chapter RBasu3243278 (discuss • contribs) 05:02, 14 August 2024 (UTC)

Hi Alexandra,
First of all I think your focus questions are really good. The 3rd one mentions applied use which I think is great. You may find it helpful when explaining ERG to use scenarios to bring them to life a bit like in the Social psych tutorials.

As another suggestion mentions you might like to use similar theories and contrastthem to ERG heres a link to SDT https://psycnet.apa.org/doiLanding?doi=10.1037%2F0003-066X.55.1.68 but SDT also has mini theories and I believe relationship motivation theory (RMT) will be best for you to look into.

In terms of your conclusion I can see that you have echoed the overview but is there anything else you would like your readers to take away from your chapter?

Good luck,
