Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cesar's behaviour is being motivated by an incentive - the desire to get an A on the exam, even though he only needs 43 points to do so. A drive or need might motivate someone who is struggling to pass the class, but in this case, Cesar's motivation is more aligned with an incentive. Habits are not directly related to one's motivation or goals.
