From the commonsense point of view, motivation refers on one hand to conscious intents, to such inner thoughts as, I wish I could play the piano, I want to be a doctor, and I am trying hard to solve this problem. The term ‘s can do B’ used in the condition of alternate possibilities in a first attempt may be interpreted conditionally, following G.E. The threat of punishment is of no use with people who do not even believe that they will bring about the incriminated consequence, and their subsequent punishment cannot have a deterrent effect, because the threat of punishment can only lead to the prevention of action if the subject can associate the action – by believing in this consequence – with the threat of punishment. Table 1: Compound Emotions. C4. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press. 84, 148–164. Only by conscious processing can this be achieved with sufficient accuracy4. But this behaviour caused him a lot of problems. The subjects then had to choose from which cup they wanted to drink. Oxford: Blackwell. The author confirms being the sole contributor of this work and has approved it for publication. Akademie-Ausgabe, Vol. The famed psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud believed that behavior and personality were derived from the constant and unique interaction of conflicting psychological forces that operate at three different levels of awareness: the preconscious, conscious, and unconscious. He believed that each of these parts of the mind plays an important role in influencing behavior. The resistance, which (let us suppose at least in some cases) is the cause of the misthrow, does not make up an intention, hence cannot render it intentional. Incompatibilists generally see indeterminacy as a necessary but not sufficient condition for freedom of decision. While you might have consciously moved on, your unconscious mind is trying to make sense of the information it just received. Soc. Intentional causalism is not the only theory of action proposed in philosophy. (1993). doi: 10.1111/j.1467-9280.1990.tb00246.x, Rozin, P., Millman, L., and Nemeroff, C. J. And this gives room for the unconscious motives and for their influence going unnoticed by the agent. Implicit bias (see e.g., Brownstein and Saul, 2016) is also not discussed here because of its peculiar problems. Oxford: Clarendon. Psychol. Alief and belief. More generally unconscious priming of conscious decisions seems to function as follows. Ethics. Similar effects have also been obtained by subliminal priming (e.g., Custers and Aarts, 2007; Pessiglione et al., 2007; more examples: Custers and Aarts, 2010, 49–50). However, plain unconsciously deliberated actions and those with dynamically unconscious motives – unlike sleepwalking – usually take place alongside conscious activities and are monitored to some extent. Conscious Motivation was founded to help people overcome the negative energy and fear that inhibits them from pursuing their dreams. Lumer, C. (2012). Even in this case of the simplest decision, consciousness still has the function of broadcasting the (imminent or just made) decision to all relevant parts of the brain, thus exposing it to comprehensive criticism and thereby possibly receiving feedback that there are relevant and perhaps significantly better options or, that there are further possibly relevant consequences, in particular negative side effects, which make it advisable to suspend the decision for the time being.3. The merits of unconscious thought in preference development and decision making. D5: Integrate information: The information acquired in the previous steps must be integrated into an optimality judgment based on criteria such as expected desirability or prospect desirability. The so-called new unconscious is aggressively antipsychoanalytic.1 A … This verdict may seem debatable for plain unconsciously deliberated actions because the action mostly corresponds to what the conscious ego could have decided as well. For example, a person who responds "Bad to meet you" instead of the usual … Psychol., 21 February 2019 In contrast, the aim of this article is to discuss individual unconscious influences on our behavior separately with respect to what extent they require changes in traditional conceptualizations. This goal was missed because of the unconscious influences. Strong distortions with respect to the subject’s values and standards of rationality would probably be noticed and corrected. But he does not include in his conscious deliberation reasons for action which are actually decisive and arrives at, if one takes into account the unconscious reasons, a comprehensible but, if one only considers the conscious reasons, completely wrong integration of these reasons, an irrational decision. (2014d). In such a case all the conditions of an action, as they are established by intentional causalism, might even be fulfilled, the mental conditions, however, only by unconscious mental states. Unconscious decisions with dynamically unconscious motives: In another subform the unconscious deliberation includes dynamically unconscious motives. Cognition 79, 1–37. It is very easy to dismiss him as aggressive and someone who needs to control his anger. However, and this is reassuring, such plain unconscious decisions usually involve only small actions and they are also somewhat monitored alongside the actions in focus, so that they can be interrupted immediately in critical cases. Such shielding may exist especially in the case of targeted priming. Hence, the list does not take up the particular conditions of unorthodox or minority positions like versions of incompatibilism about responsibility, the doctrine of double effect, guidance control, ascriptivism or attributionism. In the case of unconsciously altered execution, direct responsibility extends as far as intentionality, and in most cases quite far. In the second part (sections 5–9), the aforementioned unconscious influences on our actions (except for automated and habitualized actions, which I discuss elsewhere) are examined: 1. unconscious priming, 2. dynamically unconscious motives, 3. dorsal pathway information influencing conscious decisions, 4. unconsciously altered execution of conscious intentions, and 5. unconscious deliberations and decisions. As they are theorized in rational decision theory, the steps to achieve this are: D1: Compile options: The relevant, i.e., possibly optimal, options must be identified or, in the case of complex and in any respect novel situations or goals, must first be newly constructed. It does not ponder advantages and disadvantages but is simplistically goal-oriented in that finding an effective means may be sufficient for choosing it. to find in a 10 × 10 matrix of letters 13 words, which were listed under the matrix. Since conditions R1, R3.1, and R6 are irrelevant for the discussion of the significance of unconscious influences on our actions for responsibility they will not be discussed any further. Objectivist theories of good reason require that a free decision be sensitive to objective reasons, i.e., recognizes reasons for and against the various options and chooses the action according to these reasons (e.g., Nagel, 1986; Wolf, 1990). ©PsychMechanics 2021 All Rights Reserved. Primed irrational desirability shifts in favor of clearly worse options probably would be noticed and then consciously corrected accordingly. In particular the resistance may weaken the effort invested in the action, which may be sufficient to make the action inefficient or even ineffective. “Groundwork for the metaphysics of morals,” Introduction by C. M. Korsgaard. Home » Psychological phenomena » Unconscious motivation: What does it mean? Even if most incompatibilists do not specify sufficient conditions, the most plausible proposals for this, again, go in the direction of the just-outlined compatibilist theories. Awareness is the key to change. Unconscious Behaviour examples Examples of unconscious events include suppressed feelings, auto reactions, complexes, and concealed phobias. (b) Graphic emphasis on the neck suggests lack of control over impulses. (1988). Automatic actions – agency, intentionality, and responsibility. Dorsal, unconscious processing is encapsulated and merely semantic, thus ignoring the syntax; hence “not sodium cyanide,” etc., is perceived as “cyanide,” etc. The result is: The curtailments prove to be far less dramatic than they initially appear; they require more watchfulness but no conceptual change. For many actions the intention is somewhat vague and leaves much leeway to the execution system to fill in the details like speed, trajectory of movements, temporal order of systematically independent steps. The primitiveness of completely unconscious deliberations is, of course, due to the limited abilities of the unconscious; in particular, due to modularization and the lack of access to the universal workplace, it cannot consider much more alternatives and consequences than just described. (ed.). Moore, M. S. (1980). Payne, J. W., Bettman, J. R., and Johnson, E. J. Freedom: Freedom of decision is not infringed per se by the mechanisms working in these examples, because these mechanisms only operate after the decision has been made. C1. D2: Identify consequences: All possible relevant consequences of these options must be identified. And as long as the distortions of the holistic judgment of optimality remain within the scope of the usual, the rationality of the decision is not called into question by the unconscious influences. Let’s analyze a typical case of unconscious goal and unconscious motivation to make things clear…Andy was a bully who kept bullying other guys wherever he went. Intentional causalism as a theory about what actions are has mastered the challenge from unconsciousness well: It captures and classifies differentiatedly all analyzed behaviors which should (not) be classified as actions. Smith, M. (1997). “Handlung/Handlungstheorie”, in Enzyklopädie Philosophie, Vol. Generally for this group it holds that unconscious deliberation is possible and fairly differentiated, e.g., flexibly adapted to the present situation and includes pointedly and creatively searching for fitting actions. Furthermore, the decision reflects the subject’s conscious desires – though their weights sometimes may be somewhat distorted, however, in the usual range of desirability judgments without precise criteria. (1978). The execution of actions altered by unconscious priming or psychological resistance leaves the freedom of decision unaffected, but dissolves our direct responsibility for deviations from our intentions. doi: 10.1007/s10670-004-7682-2. C4. C2. Noûs 48, 21–40. Soc. Volume 2: Moral Responsibility, Structural Injustice, and Ethics. On R3, mens rea: The above formulations of mens rea still leave open whether the knowledge or the intention can also be unconscious. The mentioned phenomena are not only very different, they also have different implications regarding agency, responsibility and freedom; therefore, they must be examined individually. 13, S. Freud (London: Imago Publishing Co.), 235–289. (ed.). What is the subject matter of motivation? (2001). (1998). Automatic activation of impression formation and memorization goals. The same applies to the discovery and exploitation of special opportunities for action. This is good news theoretically, because intentional causalism, the standard conception of responsibility and the rationality and the autonomy conception of freedom, i.e., the most important theories in these fields, have thus withstood criticism. According to Freud and his followers, most human behavior is the result of desires, impulses, and memories that have been repressed into an unconscious state, yet still influence actions. Or in Werkausgabe, Vol. Philosophia 36, 213–221. The life and death instincts, for example, were found in the unconscious. The value of good decisions is that they identify and implement the really best action. 71, 230–244. Unconscious Motives Sigmund Freud believed that many of our motives are unconscious and operate outside of our conscious control ( the ego ). More specifically, 1. the interference of various unconscious mechanisms (e.g., priming and dynamically unconscious motives) in conscious decisions, 2. alterations in the execution of actions by unconscious mechanisms, and 3. several types of unconscious deliberations and decisions are examined, if and to what extent they influence or should influence C1: the decision-theoretical model of action, C2: agency and intentionality of the behavior, C3: responsibility for it and C4: freedom of decision. Responsibility and the unconscious. This may be analyzed as follows: The overall action, to fetch a chair for the old person, has been consciously deliberated and decided. This was only one example of conscious decisions influenced by unconscious priming with conscious primes; there are many others (e.g., Fitzsimons and Bargh, 2003, studies 1 and 4a; Bargh et al., 2001, experiments 3, 4, and 5; Bargh et al., 1996; Dijksterhuis and van Knippenberg, 1998, 868–873). So we can limit the further discussion to these three theories. Exploring the forces that shape the human psyche. (ii) C2: Intentional causalism and agency, C3: freedom, C4: responsibility: Some of the empirical findings suggest that the intention itself – or a quasi-intention, if we do not want to call it “intention” – can be unconscious along with the process leading to it (i.e., perhaps an unconscious deliberation) as well as the action itself. The three most important conceptions of compatibilistic freedom of decision are: 1. – Unconscious routines usually stop and reawaken attention when unusual situations occur. By making a thought conscious, in particular thoughts on a decision situation, a certain option or a possible consequence, the thought is so to speak globally published in the brain [Levy calls this “broadcasting” (Levy, 2014b, 62–69)] and thereby exposed to all sorts of comments and criticisms from all relevant parts of the brain (Lumer, 2014a, 86–87; 96–100). Our unconscious mind is like a friend who is watching over us and making sure that we are happy and free from pain. Deutscher Kongreß für Philosophie, ed. Freedom of decision in the sense of rationality is lacking in unconscious decisions and decisions with unconscious components, because the criteria for rational decisions are only met by coincidence; most detailed deliberations with all steps D1 to D5 cannot be made unconsciously anyway. Psychol. Such actions might not be intentional, and perhaps not even actions in the narrow sense, we would not be responsible for them and freedom of decision would be missing. So, one would not need to discuss the phenomenon further here. They change very little with respect to the question of the agential character of and responsibility for our actions as well as freedom of decision. Lumer, C. require a change in the concept of action, C2. “On Caring,” in Necessity, Volition, and Love (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press), 155–180. The Challenge of Unconscious Motives and Actions for the Traditional Conceptions of Actions and for Freedom, 3. This is the normal way. For one thing, freedom of decision can be conceived compatibilistically, so that the determinacy of our decisions does not exclude their freedom. This is an association or inspiration task. Unconscious motivations are a great deal more complicated to justify. In this experiment the priming does not alter the intention – probably there is only the intention to walk to the next station in the course of experiments but no intention to walk slowly or like an elderly person –; the priming alters only the intention’s execution. So there was no real coercion, compelling incitement, action ex ufficio, no order or the like (Duff, 1990, 83) and 2. neither was there any brainwashing, targeted misinformation, nor (futuristic) neurological change of the foundations of the valuation or similar factors. The sleepwalker is not aware of this and cannot remember this episode after waking. In such examples, the agent is not obviously pathological. If all this were called into question by the above-mentioned empirical findings, then this would already generate sufficiently important problems to justify investigating whether this questioning really exists. doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0029081. Here I will not discuss the display thesis in general (but see: Lumer, 2014c, 7; 10–12) since it is much too far-fetched. J. Pers. In these "more enlightened" days, one tended not to question the unconscious motives behind that ancient orgy of destruction. An example is when someone is unable to stay in a long-term relationship and always finds a reason to break off his relationships. “Person, Selbst, Ich – ein handlungstheoretischer Ansatz (Person, self, ego – an action-theoretical approach),” in Proceedings of the XXIII. Which of these five subconditions to apply depends on the type of action or consequence: The more serious the consequence, the weaker the subjective part of the act can be in order to imply responsibility. How the brain translates money into force: a neuroimaging study of subliminal motivation. Furthermore, conscious and unconscious processes predict different behaviors. The Adaptive Decision Maker. C1. Plain unconscious decisions are neither free, nor are we directly responsible for their results; but again we can be indirectly responsible for them. Eine intentional-kausalistische Erklärung. (c) Disproportionately large head suggests organic brain disease and preoccupation with headaches. (1996). Ekstrom, L. W. (2005). The conscious deliberation and public justification is done in such a way that the president exaggerates the rejected candidate’s minor defects, belittles his achievements, whitewashes defects of the worse candidate and overstates his achievements. What are the relative advantages of consciousness? He was emotionally wounded and his self-esteem got damaged. The topic of this discussion is then, for example, Bargh’s theory on the mechanisms behind the priming effects, not the individual example. Responsibility: The domain of what we, as conscious subjects, really control may shrink to a tiny size, and thereby the sphere for which we are responsible may diminish accordingly. doi: 10.1093/acprof:oso/9780195102659.001.1, Bargh, J. Lumer, C. (1990). He just didn’t know how to deal with it and thought that he’d soon forget about it and move on. Such considerations have led to a lively debate, which, however, suffers from generalizations that lump all these unconscious phenomena together. Agency and intentionality: In the priming example, the resulting action is clearly covered by the (presumable) intention because this intention leaves sufficient margin for the walking speed: The real speed changes are rather small and can be revealed only by exact measurement and statistics. (ed.). From Cognition to the Clinic?, eds S. Dehaene and Y. Christen (Berlin: Springer), 55–84. (1985). That’s why habits, when repeated enough number of times, become automatic. Keywords: unconscious motive, unconscious action, responsibility, freedom, agency, intentional causalism, new unconscious, priming, Citation: Lumer C (2019) Unconscious Motives and Actions – Agency, Freedom and Responsibility. Explicit motives are measured with selfreport questionnaires in which people Freud already assumed that many of our decisions are influenced by dynamically unconscious motives or that we even perform unconscious actions based on completely unconscious considerations. Nonetheless, the scruples in the darts example could be an indicator that the decision was not authentic. Unconscious motivation. Freud, S. (1901–1924/1941). Oxford: Oxford University Press. (2005). This would correspond to how the influence of unconscious priming on a conscious optimality judgment was explained above. And without this control the decision and action would not be free and we could not be responsible for the action. Sci. – Within the discussion of the present article, a first possible strategy for dealing with this unclear empirical situation would be to say: The whole phenomenon of priming is not proven at all; presumably it is an artifact; then it cannot be a challenge for the conceptions of action, freedom and responsibility defended here. This is the role of consciousness as a global workspace in the active search for options and consequences. (ed.). The president, instead, is also responsible for the realization of her unconscious intention, because she has violated a compliable duty of care. to save the scarce resource of conscious attention. Our unconscious shadow is the part of us that we attempt to suppress, the part of us that our family, friends, employers, coworkers, associates, clients, neighbors, and society tells us to discard. The Workspace of the Mind. In the example, this level is undercut. Motives are categorized as physiological, social, and those in between. Because the phenomena themselves are sometimes disputed, and above all since only few and not always convincing explanations for them are available, I have made some effort to provide my own explanations of the examined phenomena. R2: Attenuated principle of alternate possibilities: s could have acted otherwise (namely, if a is immoral or forbidden s could have performed a morally better/permitted action b), if s had not been prevented from doing so by over-determination. Similar considerations hold if single motives or whole parts of the deliberation remain unconscious: As far as these parts influence the action and thereby the action’s consequences, these actions and action consequences are not intentional in the narrow sense. Philos. This prevents the action from being an action in the emphatic sense. So Freud’s neurologist is responsible for his conscious action and the achievement of his conscious goal, but he is not responsible for the realization of the unconscious intention, because it was not conscious and no corresponding duty of care existed. J. S. Taylor (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press), 143–161. Pervasive and strong unconscious influences of this type could question intentional causalism as an empirical theory since one cornerstone of this theory, i.e., the regular correspondence of intention and behavior, would no longer hold. A Theory of the Good and the Right. All this requires the use of very diverse information scattered over many modules, which can only be retrieved from the global workspace. The actions and the goal attainment are intentional, though, in the cases of deliberation with dynamically unconscious motives and entirely unconscious deliberation, only unconsciously intentional; and with unconsciously altered execution modes, the intentionality of the action under certain relevant descriptions may be restricted. Impact Factor 2.067 | CiteScore 3.2More on impact ›, The New Science of Free Will: The Ephiphenomenalist Challenge to Freedom Such actions are possibly not intentional, perhaps not even actions in the strict sense, and we might not be responsible for them. Psychol. doi: 10.1007/s11406-007-9090-8, Levy, N. (2014a). – C2: Agency, intentionality, C3: freedom, C4: responsibility: If unconscious factors intervene between our intention and its execution and thus lead to a misfit of the action to the intention the executed behavior would not be under our control; hence we would not be responsible for it – at least not directly –; still less would we have acted freely. We also have some secondary responsibility for actions based on plain unconscious decisions, insofar as we can interrupt them as soon as we realize that they are going in a wrong direction. Dijksterhuis, A. [Libet (1985; more references and critique: Lumer, 2014a) and Wegner (2002; critique: Lumer, 2014b) suggest this, Koch and Crick (2001) defend it, and philosophers like (Andy) Clark et al. Responsibility: Responsibility must also be judged on a case-by-case basis when conscious decisions are influenced by dynamically unconscious motives. Hence, they do not specify the general nature of the limitation of the ability to deliberate. And the preceding deliberation will have included many other conscious considerations (not reported by Freud) like the stethoscope’s decorative and symbolic value. Responsibility: We are directly responsible for consciously deliberated actions in which the decision is influenced by unconscious priming or dorsal information. Implicit Bias and Philosophy. This may or may not be true, but this is what I think is in the realm of what "unconscious and conscious motivation" is: Unconscious Motivation are ideas and desires that are innate to man and instinctual to survival. Lumer, C. Psychol. 6): ‘If s intends/decides to do B, then s does B.’ According to this simple interpretation, however, the fact that the unconscious distortions prevented the execution of the originally intended action would already be the proof that the subject could not perform this action – so that the subject might no longer be responsible for his action and its consequences. Basic evidence and a workspace framework. There is no dynamic reason for the unconscious processing but only an economic reason, viz. Internationale Zeitschrift für Philosophie 1, 9–37. Many scholars have proposed that individuals are more inclined to experience wellbeing, manifested as composure, enthusiasm, and stability, if their unconscious or implicit motives align with their conscious or explicit goals. Hassin, R. R., Uleman, J. S., and Bargh, J. The second group of unconscious influences on conscious decisions consists of dynamically unconscious motives as studied by Freud: The respective motives play a role in the decision, but because of resistances against their delicate contents they are suppressed from access to consciousness and are accessible to the agent’s consciousness only after a psychoanalytic revelation. Soc. Freud explores the unconscious using hypnosis, free association, dream analysis, humor, projective tests, errors and slips of the tongue and so called accidents. So guilt is experienced as guilt (in the mode of self-pity) or as guilt (in the mode of self-hate). Move on he did, but not his unconscious mind. doi: 10.1093/acprof:oso/9780199746996.001.0001, Custers, R., and Aarts, H. (2007).

The subsequent vote is intentional and probably also rational: the president has voted in favor of what she considers to be the better, but is, in fact, clearly the worse candidate.
