Research Note

The AIM Motivation Framework is an explanatory synthesis that integrates established findings from neuroscience, behavioral economics, and psychology. It serves as the missing puzzle piece that allows these disciplines to validate each other's findings through a consistent taxonomic lens. The framework explains observed phenomena and enables researchers to derive testable predictions across domains.
