Question 1

Motivation is defined as which of the following?&#10;A) Direction of effort&#10;B) Intensity of effort&#10;C) Autonomy of effort&#10;D) A and B

Accepted Answer

Motivation is defined as the combination of direction (choosing where to focus effort) and intensity (how much effort to put forth). Therefore, the best choice is A and B, as they both represent elements of motivation. Autonomy is not directly related to motivation, as it refers to the level of control or independence one has in performing a task.

Question 2

Accepted Answer

Intrinsic motivation has the greatest self-determination as it involves engaging in an activity for its own sake, based on interest and enjoyment. It is the most autonomous form of motivation, where the individual is driven by internal forces rather than external rewards or pressures.

Participating in an activity for the inherent pleasure and enjoyment experienced when doing so is which motivational orientation?&#10;A) Identified regulation&#10;B) Integrated regulation&#10;C) Intrinsic motivation&#10;D) Introjected regulation

Accepted Answer

External regulation refers to behavior that is motivated solely by external rewards or to avoid punishment. This type of motivation is considered the least autonomous and least effective form of motivation in terms of sustaining behavior change.

Question 6

what two extrinsic motivation orientations does a person actually &#34;want&#34; to engage in an activity, either as a means to an end or because the activity is valued and important?&#10;A) Intrinsic and identified regulation&#10;B) Identified and integrated regulation&#10;C) identified and introjected regulation&#10;D) External and integrated regulation

Accepted Answer

Identified and integrated regulation are both forms of extrinsic motivation where the individual has personally endorsed the activity's value. In identified regulation, the person recognizes and accepts the underlying value of a behavior, engaging in it willingly to achieve personally valued outcomes. In integrated regulation, the behavior is fully assimilated into the individual's self, aligning with their other values and needs, making the activity feel important and personally significant.

Question 7

a person feels like he &#34;should&#34; or &#34;ought&#34; to do an activity to gain the approval of others or to avoid feeling guilty, that person is displaying which motivational orientation?&#10;A) Amotivation&#10;B) Identified regulation&#10;C) Integrated regulation&#10;D) Introjected regulation

Accepted Answer

The person is displaying introjected regulation, which is a type of external regulation where the individual feels pressure to act in a certain way to avoid guilt or gain social approval, even if the activity does not align with their personal values or interests.

Question 9

of the following best describes what research has found concerning children's age and gender and motivation for physical activities?&#10;A) Children's motivation tends to decline as they get older, and boys have lower motivation than girls.&#10;B) Children's motivation tends to increase as they get older, and boys have lower motivation than girls.&#10;C) Children's motivation tends to decline as they get older, and girls have lower motivation than boys.&#10;D) Children's motivation tends to increase as they get older, and girls have lower motivation than boys.

Accepted Answer

Research has found that children's motivation for physical activities tends to decline as they get older, and girls have lower motivation than boys. Studies have shown that girls are less likely to participate in organized sports and physical activities as they get older, and they often report feeling less competent and less confident about their physical abilities than boys do. This can lead to lower levels of motivation to engage in physical activities.

Question 10

According to research, intrinsic motivation and more self-determined motivational orientations are more closely related to which of the following?&#10;A) High task orientation and an incremental conception of ability&#10;B) High task orientation and an entity conception of ability&#10;C) High ego orientation and an incremental conception of ability&#10;D) High ego orientation and an entity conception of ability

Accepted Answer

Intrinsic motivation and self-determined motivational orientations are more closely related to high task orientation (the desire to improve one's own abilities) and an incremental conception of ability (the belief that abilities can be developed through effort and practice). This is because individuals who are intrinsically motivated and have greater self-determination are more likely to engage in activities for their own enjoyment and interest, rather than for external rewards or pressures. Additionally, they are more likely to view abilities as something that can be developed and improved upon, rather than fixed traits.
