Answer:
d. extrinsic motivation
Explanation:
Operant conditioning can be defined as an associative learning process which involves reinforcing the strength of a behavior. Thus, the outcome depends on the response in operant conditioning.
Behavior modification is a therapeutic process that is focused on changing any undesirable negative behavior in an individual through the use of positive or negative consequence and biofeedback.
Behavior modification is typically based on operant conditioning principles, through negative or positive reinforcement, undesirable behaviors developed by an individual are mainly replaced with more desirable ones.
Behavior modification can also be used to correct human behaviors or disorders such as enuresis (bed-wetting), Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), generalized anxiety disorder, Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), phobias, etc.
In Psychology, when an extrinsic motivation (incentive) reduces an individual's intrinsic motivation to participate in an activity or express a behavior, it is known as the overjustification effect. Extrinsic motivation includes external incentives such as a prize, money, grades, fame that influences an individual's behavior.
Hence, the overjustification effect has led some psychologists to question the value of extrinsic motivation.
