Question

Because yuri was curious about human behavior, he enrolled in an introductory psychology course. george registered because he heard it was an easy course that would boost his grade point average. in this instance, yuri's behavior was a reflection of ________, whereas george's behavior was a reflection of ________.

Answer 1

Yuri's behavior was a reflection of intrinsic motivation, whereas George's behavior was a reflection of extrinsic motivation.
Intrinsic motivation refers to people who are driven by internal awards - in this case, Yuri wants to learn something new, and when he does, he will feel satisfied. On the other hand, extrinsic motivation refers to something external, like receiving money, or in George's case, a good grade.
