Compare and Contrast
Extrinsic and Intrinsic Motivation
There are two types of motivation
Extrinsic based off of material rewards such as money or prestige and Intrinsic such as a sense of purpose, a say in what you do, and/or self improvement
Who are generally more affected
younger people tend to be mainly extrinsically motivated and as they age they tend to become more intrinsically motivated as time goes on
In what situations they are effective
Extrinsic motivation works as long as there is no thinking required and when it requires intelligent thought the extrinsic motivators stop working. Intrinsic motivation works best with an objective that requires higher thought because they gain more from it than they would when rushing to obtain the reward
