Discussion
Which of the following statements correctly describes the relationship between intrinsic and extrinsic motivation?
Answer: D
The correct description is that intrinsic and extrinsic motivations can interact with each other in complex ways, with one type affecting the other.
A person can be motivated by both at once, for example enjoying a subject and also wanting good marks. The two influence each other: tangible rewards can sometimes undermine intrinsic interest (the overjustification effect), while praise that conveys competence can strengthen it, and an intrinsically interested learner may come to value external goals.
Options A and C wrongly treat them as exclusive or independent, and option B wrongly says extrinsic motivation can never affect intrinsic motivation.
