Quizplus · 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.
