An experimenter visits a preschool with a big box of magic markers and paper. The children are told that they can draw as many p
ictures as they want. The children enjoy the task very much. On another visit, the children are told that, for every picture they draw, they would earn a prize. Two weeks later when the experimenter returned, he offered up the markers and paper for play but said that no prizes would be given. The children played very little with the markers because extrinsic rewards can undermine _____ motivation.
People who get paid for an activity are less likely to repeat that activity of there is no more reward as opposed to people who have been doing that same activity without payment.
This shows that EXTRINSIC motivation can undermine Intrinsic Motivation.
It is for this reason that extrinsic motivation is not recommended for certain activities but rather positive feedback which has been shown to contribute to INTRINSIC Motivation.
A high-stress situation in which one finds oneself in another culture in which former behavior patterns are ineffective and one fails to understand the basic cues of social intercourse is termed as culture shock.
<u>Explanation:
</u>
When the brain finds itself to have become incapable of processing the information being thrown at it, it gets stressed and becomes vulnerable to the shock received in such a situation.
In a new culture where there is nothing familiar, the brain finds it difficult to relate the practices, activities, etc. to the experiences from the past and the available knowledge and thus exhibits unresponsiveness.
