Extrinsic motivation comes from __________ while intrinsic motivation is based on __________.

  • A.personal satisfaction; rewards such as prizes
  • B.avoidance of punishment; rewards such as prizes
  • C.approval of others; personal satisfaction
  • D.personal satisfaction; approval of others

Answer: C

The pairing is approval of others; personal satisfaction.

Extrinsic motivation comes from outside the activity: praise, grades, prizes or the approval of parents, teachers and friends. Intrinsic motivation comes from within: the child does the task because it is interesting or satisfying in itself.

The first and fourth options put personal satisfaction in the extrinsic slot, which reverses the two ideas. The second option puts 'rewards such as prizes' on the intrinsic side, but a prize is the textbook example of an external reward.
