Kevin was not enrolled in school, nor did he have a job that required mathematical skills or reasoning, yet he spent several nig
hts a week reading and solving problems in an old calculus textbook. How would you BEST explain this behavior?a. Kevin is b. mentally ill c. externally motivated intrinsically motivated d. driven by the incentive motive
Since Kevin was not enrolled in a school nor have a job that his mathematical reasoning would help him either pass a test or solve a problem at work, the reason for his motivation is driven by internal rewards. Hence Intrinsic motivation can be defined as a behavior, not driven by any external motivation, but by internal rewards. The motivation for Kevin wanting to learn mathematics on his own comes from within and is naturally satisfying to Kevin.
