Affective-Motivational

Affective-motivational is the interplay of affective (emotional reactions, like joy or annoyance, or negative hedonic quality of pain) and motivational (internal drives or urges influencing behavior, like engaging in a task or alleviating pain). Emotions can trigger motivations, and motivations can influence emotional states, like feedback influencing a student’s emotional and motivational state. The unpleasant emotional experience of pain can result in escaping or avoiding the stimulus. Broadly, it’s the value, enjoyment, and intrinsic motivation we feel and how these feelings influence behavior and decision-making:

• Pain: Unpleasant feeling and urge to find relief or avoid painful stimuli
• Learning: Enjoyment a student feels for a particular subject, the engagement and persistence to learn.
• Entrepreneurship: Emotionally driven factors (like passion) are more motivating than purely rational considerations. 
• Competence: Effective performance requires emotions (excitement, disappointment) and cognition.
