Answer 1

Answer:

intrinsic; extrinsic      

Explanation:

In psychology, there are mainly two different kinds of motivation i.e, intrinsic motivation and extrinsic motivation.

Intrinsic motivation: It refers to the motivation in which a specific behavior is being driven or carried forward by a few internal rewards. In short, an individual gets motivation for doing something or engaging in a behavior that occurs within his or her inside and is satisfying him or her naturally.

Extrinsic motivation: It refers to a motivation in which an individual is engaged in a behavior that is being carried out or driven by any of the external rewards, for example, praise, money, appraisal, grades, etc. It comes from outside a person.

In the question above, Ryan's motivation is intrinsic while Katie's motivation is extrinsic.
