Intro to Psychology assignment

  1. Think of a movie, television show, or book that you enjoyed that exemplifies at least five motivation/emotion concepts (usually the bolded or italicized words in the text).. You can use any concepts from the reading with the following requirements:
    • All five concepts cannot be from one chapter. That means you need two or three motivation concept and two or three emotion concepts. 
    • The concepts have to be distinct. For instance, you cannot use three levels of Maslow’s hierarchy as three different concepts. It is one.
    • Your discussion of the concept has to go beyond the obvious. For instance, you cannot choose fear as a concept and describe how a character was afraid. You knew about fear before taking this class. You need to bring in something new e.g. the amygdala, how fear is learned, etc.
    • you may only use the concepts on emotion not stress
  2. Write a brief description of the plot in about 100 words.
  3. List five motivation/emotion concepts and then provide one or two sentences each describing where in the movie, television show, or book each concept was demonstrated.
