{{main|Drive theory}}
A drive or desire can be described as a deficiency or need that activates behavior that is aimed at a goal or an incentive.<ref name="Drive/Desire">{{cite web |title = Drive |url = http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/drive?s=t |publisher = Dictionary.com |access-date = 22 March 2013 }}</ref> These drives are thought to originate within the individual and may not require external stimuli to encourage the behavior. Basic drives could be sparked by deficiencies such as hunger, which motivates a person to seek food whereas more subtle drives might be the desire for praise and approval, which motivates a person to behave in a manner pleasing to others.

Another basic drive is the [[sexual drive]] which just like food motivates us because it is essential to our survival.<ref name="Schacter, D.L. 2009">Schacter, D.L., Gilbert, D.L. and Wegner, D.M.
