Understand the concept of 'drive' in psychology, which refers to an internal state that motivates behavior towards a goal.
Identify the types of drives: primary drives are biological needs (e.g., hunger, thirst), while secondary drives are learned through experience and are not directly related to biological needs.
Recognize that Chad's motivation is not based on a biological need but rather on an external reward (prize money), which is a learned or acquired motivation.
Differentiate between primary and secondary drives: primary drives are innate, while secondary drives are associated with external incentives or rewards.
Conclude that Chad is motivated by a secondary drive, as his motivation is based on the desire for an external reward rather than an innate biological need.
