I'd be careful thinking that motives are/can easily understood/teased out, as it subtly shifts responsibility into urself, releasing from accountability the other actor who can very well be playing a double, triple, or quadruple game.
We don't teach how to distill incentives/core motives.

In one sense, very few ppl know how to do it, which is why predators can run rampant.
On the other, those of us that are good at it learned that lesson a very, very painful way over a long period of time.
