Slide 1: Title Slide

• Title: Understanding Drive Reduction Theory

Slide 2: Introduction – Why Do We Feel Needs?

• Question: “Why do we feel hungry, thirsty, or tired? What drives our actions?”

• Key Idea: Our bodies aim for balance (homeostasis).

Slide 3: What is Drive Reduction Theory?

• Definition: Clark Hull’s theory explains motivation as reducing biological discomfort (drives).

• Key Concept:

◦ Need: A biological requirement (e.g., food, water).

◦ Drive: Internal discomfort (e.g., hunger, thirst).

◦ Behavior: Actions to satisfy the drive (eating, drinking).

• Minimal Graphic: Simple flowchart: Need → Drive → Behavior → Homeostasis.

Slide 4: Example – Hunger as a Drive

• Scenario: Skipping breakfast → Hunger → Urge to eat → Satisfaction.

• Minimal Graphic: A simple diagram of this process.

Slide 5: Application in Real Life

• Workplace: Employees work harder for rewards (salary).

• Education: Students study to avoid failure.

• Habits: Cravings & addiction follow drive-reduction.

• Minimal Graphic: Two simple examples side-by-side (e.g., motivation to eat vs. motivation to work).

Slide 6: Biological Basis – How the Brain Regulates Drives

• Key Brain Area: Hypothalamus regulates hunger, thirst, and balance.

• Neurotransmitters: Dopamine is released when needs are met.

• Minimal Graphic: Simple brain diagram with the hypothalamus labeled.

Slide 7: Case Study – Hunger & Survival

• Example: Extreme hunger affects decision-making (e.g., fasting, survival situations).

Slide 8: Conclusion – Why This Matters

• Key Takeaway: Drive Reduction explains why we act to remove discomfort.

• Final Thought: “Next time you crave food or caffeine, ask yourself—what’s driving you
