Reminiscent of Einstein, motivation science is focused on the relativity of motivation in both its temporal and structural sense. How do our various needs, for instance, compare and contrast with each other? Moving away from early motivational hierarchies (e.g., Maslow, 1955) that emphasized the “objective” or normative priority and organization of needs, many current motivational approaches assume a subjective relativism in both the priority and mental organization of needs and motives. What needs are most central, then, and how they relate to each other, are thought to be products not only of the inherent qualities of the needs themselves but also of the individuals’ distinct history of pursuing them, as well as the constraints and affordances they encounter in the moment and over their lifetime.
