Question 6 • Sports Medicine 1a

Contrast intrinsic and extrinsic motivation. What is one difference between people who are motivated in these ways?

Answer
A
People who are intrinsically motivated are more likely to give up on a goal than those who are extrinsically motivated.
B
People who are intrinsically motivated are more likely to maintain positive behaviors than those who are extrinsically motivated.
C
People who are extrinsically motivated are more likely to pursue joy from achievements than those who are intrinsically motivated.
D
People who are extrinsically motivated are more likely to strive to be self-determining than those who are intrinsically motivated.

Explanation

Intrinsic motivation comes from personal interest or enjoyment, while extrinsic motivation comes from outside rewards or consequences. Because intrinsically motivated people value the activity itself, they are more likely to keep up positive behaviors over time. So the correct choice is that intrinsically motivated people are more likely to maintain positive behaviors.
