Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Rosamie's motivation appears to be based on external factors, such as gaining her teacher's approval, and she experiences slight twinges of guilt when she fails to complete an assignment. This aligns with the stage of introjection, where individuals may do something to avoid guilt or to gain approval from others, but the motivation is not yet fully internalized.
