97). This implies that our emotions give energy to our actions, which we direct towards achieving a goal. According to Adler (Ferguson), “emotion helps move the person towards his goals”. Furthermore, "if there are maladaptive aspects, it is not the emotions but the objectives that are maladaptive" (p.98). This theory applies to Becca because when she initially joined the Bellas she was not emotionally motivated to perform well. This was due to Aubrey failing to recognize the innovative ideas he was presenting to increase Bella's chances of winning. Later in the film, after managing to win the ICAA semifinals by default, all the members of the Bellas come to recognize and support Becca's creative ideas. Once her creative ideas are recognized, Becca becomes emotionally motivated to prove to Aubrey that her ideas are superior and with her creativity they can win the ICAA finals. His goal was to make Aubrey admit that she was really talented and with his help the group's chances of success in winning increased.
