Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Haptic refers to the sense of touch, but it does not necessarily imply a specific motivation behind the act of touching. Resilient and malleable refer to properties of materials, not to motivations or behaviors. Autotelic and instrumental differentiate between two types of motivations: autotelic refers to an inherent satisfaction derived from an activity or behavior, while instrumental refers to a motivation to achieve a specific goal or outcome. Therefore, instrumental NFTs individuals would touch products for a specific purpose, such as evaluating them for quality or functionality, while autotelic NFTs individuals would touch things simply because they enjoy the sensation of touch. Choice C captures this distinction by pairing instrumental with autotelic.
