The motivational concept refers to processes aspect of behaviour. The pleasure/hedonic motives stress on seeking pleasure and avoiding pain by either tension reduction or getting an incentive. The physiological needs create tension in human being and s/he tries to reduce this by satisfying those needs and gets incentive by achieving the goal. Individual also strives for self-fulfilment and has a need for consistency and need to know. Growth and development of individual and development of individual difference are dependent on two interconnected factors, they are genetic and environmental factors. Motivation is the individual’s inner directing force, need (for food, shelter, warmth etc.). which arouses organism and direct individual toward a goal-directed behaviour. William James (1890) stated that humans are motivated by a variety of instincts, i.e. a biological force that predisposes one to behave in a certain way. This is innate, rigidly patterned and species-specific.

Freud believed that instincts motivate human behaviour, such as “sucking reflex, facial expressions like smiling, hunger, thirst, warmth, helping, aggression, mate selection” (“Motivation & Emotion”, 2008). He conceived that individuals had both life instincts (the Eros) and death instincts (the Thanatos).&nbsp.
