Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Intrinsic motivation refers to engaging in an activity for the inherent satisfaction or pleasure it brings, rather than for external rewards or pressures. Choices A, B, and D all involve pursuing an activity because of personal interests, enjoyment, or fascination with a subject. Choice C, on the other hand, involves wanting to achieve a specific reward (the sticker) rather than being motivated by enjoyment or satisfaction. Therefore, option C is not an example of intrinsic motivation.
