Question

an internal condition of arousal that directs a person to satisfy a physiological need is called a drive. expectancy. a survival motive. homeostatic deficiency.

Explanation:

Brief Explanations
  • Drive: In psychology, a drive is an internal state of arousal that motivates an organism to satisfy a physiological need. For example, hunger (a physiological need) leads to a drive (the feeling of being hungry and the motivation to eat).
  • Expectancy: Refers to the belief that one's efforts will lead to a particular outcome. It is more related to cognitive beliefs about future events rather than a direct response to a physiological need.
  • Survival motive: While related to the idea of needs for survival (like food, water), the term "survival motive" is too broad and not the specific term for the internal arousal state described.
  • Homeostatic deficiency: Homeostasis is the body's tendency to maintain a stable internal environment. A deficiency in homeostasis might be the cause of a need (e.g., low blood sugar - a homeostatic deficiency - leads to the need for food), but it is not the internal arousal state itself.

Answer:

a drive.
