Difference between internal and external motivation
  • 1 answers

Gaurav Seth 5 years, 3 months ago

Motivation  can be either external (extrinsic) and internal (intrinsic).

External motivation – the driving force that triggers you in achieving your goal. Such as:

  • Money.
  • Prize.
  • A simple smile and encouragement.

Internal motivation – the force that leads you to achieve a goal because of personal satisfaction or desire. Examples are:

  • Putting up your own business.
  • Participating in a competition.

Trophies, medals, money, discounts, grades, entrance to programs or schools, new clothes and losing weight are all examples of extrinsic motivators. These are used to motivate individuals to pursue their goals.

  • Cleaning your room to avoid being reprimanded by your parents

  • Competing in a contest to win a scholarship

  • Studying because you want to get a good grade

Intrinsic Motivation

  • Participating in a sport because you find the activity enjoyable

  • Cleaning your room because you like tidying up

  • Solving a word puzzle because you find the challenge fun and exciting

  • Studying a subject you find fascinating
