2
Death

• In order to avoid being served as dinner, the

  PIE - Babs
• To avoid a negative consequence, the chickens
  engage in the positive behavior

3
Pride

  to ride the plane

Freedom

• The chickens work day and night in order to
  ensure their ticket out of the chicken farm.
• Ginger always talks about paradise which
  motivated the chickens to be free

5
Sympathy

• After escaping the chicken farm, he comes back
  because of his love for Ginger
• However, he also comes back because he cared
  about the other chickens. He had sympathy for
  them.

6
Revenge

• After Edwinas death, the chickens felt angry and
  sad
• They wanted revenge of their dear friend by not
  only escaping the farm, but somehow making the
  Tweedy family pay for her death.

Greed

• Money was the main motivator for the Tweedy
  Family.
• The wife dominantly devised a plan to make them
  rich without caring about the chicken farm

Fun Conformity

• However, in the time of crises, they sacrificed
  their fee (eggs) and conformed in the freedom of
  the chickens.
• They hope to live a fun life!

Love

• Rocky realizes that he is in love with Ginger
• He also realizes that he was being selfish
• He cares for other chickens as well so he comes
  back and rescues and help them get freed

10
Theories and Explanations

• Freedom or Death are the two motivators that can
  take the form of SAFETY (lower-order needs) on
  Maslows Hierarchy of Needs.
• Mrs. Tweedys greed and her power over her
  husband can be supported by one of the sides of
  the McClellands Theory of Needs (need for power)
• Rockys love for Ginger and showing off in
  front of other chickens can also supported by
  McClellands Theory of Needs (need for
  affiliation).

11
Theories and Explanations contd

• Rocky did not care about his life (safety) and
  came to rescue Ginger and the rest of the
  chickens (social) can be supported by Maslows
  Hierachy of Needs
• Mack the nerd of the group who comes up with the
  planes creation plan and Fowler who rides the
  plane because of pride can be supported by
  self-efficacy. They did the jobs because they
  knew they could do it. This is true even though
  Fowler initially had his doubts.

12
Theories and Explanations contd

• Babs always got worried and her behavior used to
  drastically change when the Tweedys came to get
  the eggs. This is supported by the reinforcement
  theory because her behavoir changed due to a
  consequence which in this case was its dreadful
  environment.
• Ginger tells the chickens to speed up the process
  as she sees the Tweedys coming close to fixing
  the pie machine. The chickens respond to Ginger
  and finish it on time. Their actions can be
  supported by the Expectancy theory. Their
  performance which in this case is to make the
  plane depends on the reward which is total
  freedom. They make the plane on time and get
  their desired reward of freedom.
