Contents:
Theories and studies on the following questions will be discussed: "How are emotions activated?" "What happens first? The thought or the emotion?" "Why do people set goals? What are goals anyway? Which ones work best?" "Why do we need self-control?" "When does ego-depletion affect performance? How can we control ego-depletion?"
People differ in terms of their conscious as well as unconscious motives. According to psychological research of the last decades, the power motive, the achievement motive and the connection motive show up as the most important motives of human action. In the course we ask ourselves questions such as "How can these motives be measured?", "How do they influence feelings, thinking, and behaviour?" "What is the neurophysiological basis for motivation and emotion?
