According to Adler (Ferguson), “emotion helps move a person toward their goals.” Furthermore, “if there are maladaptive aspects, it is not the emotion but the goals that are maladaptive” (p. 98). This theory applies to Becca because when she first joined the Bellas, she was not emotionally motivated to perform well. This was due to Aubrey not recognizing the innovative ideas she was presenting in order to improve Bella's chances of winning. Later in the film, after successfully winning the ICAA semi-finals by default, all 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 that with her creativity, they can win the ICAA finals. Her goal was to get Aubrey to admit that she was indeed talented, and with her help, the group's chances of success were increased..
