Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Amy's motivation to play basketball was originally intrinsic, meaning she played because she loved it and found it enjoyable. However, once she began making a lot of money and it became her job, her motivation became extrinsic, meaning she was motivated by external factors (such as money). This type of motivation can actually decrease the enjoyment of an activity, which is what has happened to Amy. Therefore, her intrinsic motivation has decreased and her extrinsic motivation has increased.
