Emotions and Motivations. Motivation as per one definition is “the willingness to put effort into achieving goals”. ... The comparator C is cognitive in nature and may be a conscious or unconscious appraisal as to whether and how near you are to the goal; or away from the undesired anti-goal. An emotion is a mental and physiological feeling state that directs our attention and guides our behaviour. Whether it is the thrill of a roller-coaster ride that elicits an unexpected scream, the flush of embarrassment that follows a public mistake, or the horror of a potential plane crash that creates an exceptionally brilliant response in a pilot, emotions move our actions. Emotions normally serve an adaptive role.
