Viscerogenic/Psychogenic Overt/Covert immediate/ restrained Needs --aa significant determinant of Focal/Diffuse behavior. Linked to a specific object(s) “An entity that organizes perception, apperception, action, etc. in such a way Proactive/Reactive as to transform in a certain direction an In person/activated from environment existing, unsatisfying situation.” It is a theoretical construct. Similar to a motive.
