Motives Matter: The Driving Forces Behind Gaming Behavior
Motives are fundamental to our daily functioning, representing the desirable or undesirable goals that initiate and guide our behaviors. There are very few actions that cannot be linked to a personal motive. An example of this is innate reflexes, such as sucking and swallowing, which are automatic, involuntary behaviors essential for survival and not influenced by personal motives or learned experiences. In contrast, most human behaviors are driven by motives of varying nature.
