Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to the self-perception theory, when individuals receive extrinsic rewards for an activity they previously enjoyed doing intrinsically, they may begin to attribute their behavior to the rewards rather than internal factors such as enjoyment. This can lead to a decrease in intrinsic motivation as the individual starts to view the activity as a means to obtain rewards rather than something they enjoy doing for its own sake.
