Psychological needs that stimulate senses.
Everyone wants sensory stimulation, but some people need it more than others. Why is that? If someone is in the state of sensory deprivation, they will have a loss of something. Something they have everyday that they need to live with to basically survive. Like food for instance. If a person goes everyday with having three meals a day, and then one day you all of a sudden take that persons right to eat food away, their body is going to react in a bad way because it does not have what it is use to having.

How management can invoke, or promote, positive emotions
In this seminar, we will be discussing 5 theories that have to deal with emotion and where our emotion comes from and why. The opponent-process theory, thought of by Richard Solomon, is believed that emotions come in pairs. Say that at one point you have extreme excitement because you're going to the water park, but then it starts to storm, so your excitement will turn into extreme sadness. The commonsense approach, deals with believing that knowing right from wrong in a sense. The James-Lang theory, founded by William James and Karl Lange, believe that certain situations trigger reactions which are called instinctive bodily response patterns. They both suggest that if you are able to change your feelings, then you will be able to change your behavior. The cannon-brand theory is believed that emotions accompany the bodily responses that are aroused by and external stimulus. The last theory we will talk about is the theory of cannon of cognitive approval states that the body reacts in physically similar ways even if different emotions are being experienced.
