Dear Writer, this is an assignment that requires a bit of reading and is difficult. If you are not willing to read all of the attachments this assignment will be a fail. I will also keep sending it back until it is completed for at least a pass. Please dont take on the assignment if you are not willing to do the work. Thank you. I have started the first part of the assignment in the template. Important things that need to be added into the Assignment This assignment is based upon motives for eating and motives for dysfunctional eating Important: The book used and needed for this is assignment is based on Chapter 1 & 2 of: Burton, L., Westen, D., & Kowalski, R. M. (2012). Psychology (3rd ed). See attached chapters. Note: I want you to use this literature for the essay, and not find and use additional readings. IMPORTANT: look at the marking criteria, essay template and essay recipe. THE TITLE of the essay IS CALLED: Basic perspectives on motivation: Evaluating five perspectives for understanding eating in Australian adults. 5 perspectives on motivation are: Psychodynamic Perspective (Sigmund Freud). Behaviourist Perspectives (B.F Skinner) Cognitive Perspective (Carl Rogers) Humanistic Perspective (Rene Descartes) Evolutionary Perspective (Charles Darwin) No, we are not meant to find two studies. Instead, we are too “transform Westen’s descriptions and applications” (PSY2020, 2019a, p. 4). Chapters 1, 2 and 10 in our textbook provide a great starting points for you to develop your knowledge on the five perspectives to then be able to evaluate them. In the marking criteria where is says describe an eating study (research methods, variables, hypothesis). I believe this to mean we are to look at the motivation of eating through the evolutionary perspective lens, and from what we know to describe what would be the research methods, variables, and hypothesis. We are applying our knowledge as if we were an evolutionary psychologist. We are also meant to do this for the other perspectives. Chapter 2 will help in this area It is better to think about the behaviours – eating and eating junk food – rather than eating for hunger. Why? Because eating for hunger is only related Maslow because of the deficiency needs. It is someone connected to the EP. But biological hunger is not central to a PP, BP, or CP explanation Students are required to recommend the best perspective(s) for understanding the motivation for- and studying the behaviour of- the modern day phenomena of preferring to eat high salt, sugar, and saturated-fat (SSS) fast food, and the ordinary motivated behaviour, eating for hunger. Look into Darwin, Freud, Hull, Deci, and Maslows ideas and so to see how each of them would describe the mechanics that motivate eating and an aberrant form of eating (i.e., eating high salt, sugar, and saturate fat foods leading to obesity). Must include Abstract (see assignment template) Build an Argument about motives for eating. Biologically based, Innate responses, Neural Circuity, Evolution, Regulates behaviour. Psychodynamic Perspectives: Eating is a basic drive, tension states, Hendonistic. Evolutionary Perspective Origins e.g Darwin, Freud, Hull, Deci and Maslow. Premises: Behavioural and Psychological processes & survival/reproductive success Methods: Naturalistic Observation/Deductive reasoning Data: Descriptions of observations. Other things to consider The Nature and causes of human motives and emotions Instinctive behaviour & Ethology? i.e Fixed Action Plan, Reaction Specific Energy, Releasing stimulus. Is this under evolutionary behaviour?? Or other perspectives above? Motivations & emotions? Trauma of childhood leading to obesity? Psychosocial motives? Classical conditioning (pavlovs dogs) salivating when seeing food? What turns hunger on – the role of the hypothalamus.
