A recognized psychological state or process describing why people pursue, avoid, or feel driven toward a goal, or how an emotional response arises and is regulated, without itself naming a specific fear, addiction, delusion or interpersonal bond. This group gathers the motivational and emotional-state phenomena recorded for this atlas, drawn broadly from motivation psychology and emotion research, covering documented concepts about drive, arousal, intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, mood regulation and the felt experience of emotion in everyday psychological functioning.
