Preferred term

vocabularies of motives  

Definition(s)

  • Efforts to explain human behavior simply cannot avoid questions of motives. To ask “why” human beings do what they do necessarily involves inquiry into the forces, social factors, energies, drives, or mechanisms that push along human acts. [Source: Encyclopedia of Social Theory; Vocabularies of Motives]
