Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Intrinsic motivation refers to engaging in an activity for the inherent satisfaction or enjoyment of the activity itself. When rewards are introduced, individuals may begin to focus on the external reward rather than the enjoyment of the activity, thus diminishing their intrinsic motivation. This can ultimately inhibit their overall motivation and decrease their likelihood of continuing to engage in the activity without the promise of a reward.
