Document type: Article (Portuguese) Show Abstract

Motivation theories point out two different approaches about this subject. The first one tends to view the human being as passive to environmental stimuli - this approach is known as the behaviorist view The second approach explores the energization and direction of motivational behavior. The energy in motivational theory is fundamentally a question of intrinsic needs. The direction of motivational behavior is known as a question of processes and structures that give meaning to internal and external stimuli directing human action towards the satisfaction of these needs. During the search of motivational satisfaction people face problems which are really hard to solve. To avoid the discomfort of having to face these problems peo pie tend to use myths that allow them to believe that the reality they see is different from the truth. These are the illusions they use to keep on living without the problems they don¿t want to face.
