I thought it would be an easy question to answer but it isn’t. The closest I came was this article:
“appetitive motivation is active in contexts that promote sustenance (obtaining rewards, water, nutrients, shelter, sexual partners, nurturing the young) and defensive motivation in contexts that threaten life (attack, illness, injury etc.)”
Good point! This is an emotion wheel, but emotions are just one part of the larger concept of affects, which also include the appetites.
How many appetites are there?
