| # | Definition | Sets | |
| 1 | theory of motivation; each individual has an optimal level of arousal (alertness, paying attention) that varies from one situation to the next; maintained by desire at that moment; may affect your performance (yerkes-dodson law); advantages-sensation or thrillseekers | 5 sets | |
| 2 | the theory stating that we are motivated by our innate desire to maintain an optimal level of arousal. | 3 sets | |
| 3 | theory of motivation in which people are said to have a optimal level of tension that they seek to maintain by increasing or decreasing stimulaiton | 2 sets | |
| 4 | belief that whenever the level of stimulation dips below an organism's optimal level, the organism seeks ways of increasing it | 2 sets | |
| 5 | theory that states that human motivation aims to seek optimum levels of arousal, not to eliminate it. | 2 sets | |

| 19 | each individual has an optimum level of arousal; varies from one situation to next over course of the day (varies from person to person) | 1 set | |
| 20 | four perspectives that explain motivation: 1) instinct theory (replaced by evolutionary perspective); 2) drive reduction theory (biological needs); 3)________; 4) hierarchy of motives. | 1 set | |

| 25 | theory of motivation that propose organisms seek an optimal level of arousal | 1 set | |
| 26 | organisms are motivated to achieve and maintain an optimal level of arousal that maximizes performance (arousal motive- need for stimulation) | 1 set | |
| 27 | state that people are motivated to maintain their optimal level of arousal- increasing when its too low, and decreasing when its too high. | 1 set | |
