Question

Dr. Fiore conducts a study in which two groups of participants work on challenging puzzles: one group is extrinsically motivated, whereas the other is intrinsically motivated. This, one group is paid for its participation, while the other is not. Dr. Fiore records the length of time each participant spent working on the puzzle and how enjoyable each participant rated the puzzle. Based on the theories of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, what might you expect?
A. The paid group would work longer on the puzzle, but like it less than the unpaid group.B. The paid group would not work as long on the puzzle and like it less than the unpaid group.C. The paid group would work longer on the puzzle and like it more than the unpaid group.D. The paid group would not work as long on the puzzle, but like it more than the unpaid group.

Answer 1

Answer:

D. The paid group would not work as long on the puzzle and like it less than the unpaid group.

Explanation:

Intrinsic motivation is the motivation a person gets from oneself. Whereas, extrinsic motivation is the result of some external factor. If the external factor is removed then the person is not motivated. In the intrinsic motivation the reward of the work is not the main goal but doing the work is the reward itself.

Hence, the group which was paid would not work as long on the puzzle and like it less than the unpaid group.
