Glasser's Drivers



What are the drivers / motivators that Glasser identifies in students?




Choice Theory suggests that behavior is central to our existence and is driven by five genetically driven needs:





SURVIVAL

BELONGING / CONNECTING / LOVE

POWER

FREEDOM

FUN


Choice Theory suggests the existence of a "Quality World" in which, starting at birth and continuing throughout our lives, we place those things that we highly value: primarily the people who are important to us, things we prize, and systems of belief, religion and cultural values. Glasser also posits a "Comparing Place" in which we compare the world we experience with our Quality World. We behave to achieve as best we can a real world experience consonant with our Quality World.
