Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This illustrates the hedonic motivation, as Harriet and her daughter are engaging in the activity purely for the fun and enjoyment of it, rather than for any practical or functional purpose (utilitarian) or specific end goal (end-state). It is also not driven by any physiological need or desire (such as hunger or thirst), making option A an incorrect choice.
