Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The overjustification effect occurs when an individual's intrinsic motivation for a behavior is undermined by an external reward. In this case, entering Justin in a competition with the possibility of winning a prize can shift his focus from the enjoyment of playing the violin to the extrinsic goal of winning a reward. This can decrease Justin's intrinsic motivation for playing the violin and ultimately result in the overjustification effect. Scheduling a concert or increasing his lessons may enhance his intrinsic motivation and love for playing the violin without solely emphasizing external rewards. Therefore, C is the best choice.
