For your initial post, either submit 2 paragraphs minimum (3-5 sentences minimum each) or you can simply number your responses. Don’t forget to engage with at least 2 of your peers in a meaningful way!
1. In your own words, define intrinsic vs. extrinsic motivation.
2. What did you learn this week about intrinsic vs. extrinsic motivation when it comes to performance? That is, given the same task, who is more likely to have a better performance, a person who is intrinsically motivated or a person who is extrinsically motivated? Why?
3. What sorts of activities do you engage in as a result of extrinsic motivation? (This discussion assignment perhaps?)
4. What do you find intrinsically motivating?
5. If you wanted to become intrinsically motivated in an area in which you find yourself extrinsically motivated (e.g., work or school), how would you go about doing so?
6. How do you personally stay motivated for work and/or school? If you have any strategies or tips for maintaining motivation, please share them with the group!
