Unveiling the Drivers of Human Actions: 15 Key Motives Identified

In a groundbreaking study, researchers have pinpointed 15 fundamental motives that underpin human behavior, categorized into five distinct groups. This comprehensive analysis, rooted in an evolutionary perspective, sheds light on the adaptations that were crucial for the survival of early humans.

The study categorizes these motives into environmental, physiological, reproductive, psychological, and social drivers. Each category plays a pivotal role in how individuals interact with their surroundings and each other, influencing decisions and actions that have been essential for human survival and development throughout history.
