INTRINSIC AND EXTRINSIC MOTIVATION

MOTIVATION

INTRINSIC MOTIVATION

Intrinsic motivation refers to behaviour that is driven by internal rewards. In other words, the motivation is to engage in a persons behaviour which arises from within the individual because it is intrinsically rewarding. This contrasts with extrinsic motivation, which involves engaging in a behaviour in order to earn external rewards or avoid punishments. Intrinsic motivation occurs when we act without any obvious external rewards. We simply enjoy an activity or see it as an opportunity to explore, learn, and actualize our potentials. Intrinsic motivation refers to the reason why we perform certain activities for inherent satisfaction or pleasure; you might say performing one of these activities in reinforcing in-and-of itself.



EXTRINSIC MOTIVATION

Extrinsic motivation refers to behaviour that is driven by external rewards such as money, fame, grades, and praise. This type of motivation arises from outside the individual, as opposed to intrinsic motivation, which originates inside of the individual. Extrinsic motivation refers to our tendency to perform activities for our own external rewards, whether they be tangible  or psychological  in nature.

Motivation can come from the outside, such as the motivation to win medals, receive financial rewards, and attract attention from the media. This is known as external, or extrinsic, motivation because it involves participation in sport for some kind of reward that is external to the process of participation.



ACHIEVEMENT MOTIVATION




Motivation can be defined as the rapid force behind all the actions of a single person. The influence of an individual's desires both have a strong impact on the direction of their behaviour and of the way they act. Motivation is based on your emotions and achievement-related to your own long or short term goals. There are different forms of motivation including extrinsic, intrinsic, physiological, and achievement motivation. There are also more negative forms of motivation. Achievement motivation can be set out as a long term goal for success because you don't want to lose or the attainment of excellence because your mind set is set on winning and making it big. Individuals will satisfy their goals through different means, and are driven to succeed for verifying reasons both internal (intrinsic) and external (extrinsic). An example of this is a famous boxer who is named "Floyd Money Mayweather" he has had 49 boxing matches and he is still undefeated, and his motivation in his lifestyle is the fame but mainly more about the money because that makes him who he is today he is also doing it for his family.

ATTRIBUTION THEORY




Attribution theory is a concept in psychology. As part of an attempt to understand the world and exert control, people usually try to attribute causes to actions and events, believing that everything has an explanation, if one tries to find and dig down far enough. The way in which attributions play out can be very revealing, as, perhaps not surprisingly, people have different standards when it comes to attribution. The applications of these standards can feed into prejudice, power imbalances, and similar social issues.
