Talk:Motivation and emotion/Book/2015/Paleolithic healthy food lifestyle motivation

Comments
Hey Liz, Your book chapter is really good. You write well and you have done an excellent job of explaining the motivation behind leading a paleolithic lifestyle. I like the use of the video and the pictures make it visually appealing. In regards to your theories, I would suggest you look at the social learning theory as a means to explain why people follow a palo lifestyle. According to the social learning theory, people behave a particular way because that is expected of them. Thus, people follow a pale lifestyle because they believe others expect them to behave and act in this manner. Additionally, the drive theory can help explain the motivation behind following this lifestyle. The drive theory suggests that people take action due to their negative state of tension which is caused when psychological needs are not met, in order to return to a harmonious state. You could also talk about the evolutionary theory too.
