intrinsic

Examples of intrinsic in the following topics:

• Incentive Theory of Motivation and Intrinsic vs. Extrinsic Motivation

  • In addition to biological motives, motivations can be either intrinsic (arising from internal factors) or extrinsic (arising from external factors).
  • A classic research study of intrinsic motivation illustrates this problem clearly.
  • The extrinsic reward of payment, it seemed, interfered with the intrinsic reward of the activity itself.
  • Other studies suggest that intrinsic motivation may not be so vulnerable to the effects of extrinsic reinforcements, and in fact, reinforcements such as verbal praise might actually increase intrinsic motivation (Arnold, 1976; Cameron & Pierce, 1994).
  • Differentiate between intrinsic and extrinsic incentives as related to theories of motivation

• Defining Motivation

  • Motivation can be intrinsic (arising from internal factors) or extrinsic (arising from external factors).
  • You are intrinsically motivated to cook.
  • Sometimes, intrinsic motivation can diminish when extrinsic motivation is given—a process known as the overjustification effect.
  • This can lead to extinguishing the intrinsic motivation and creating a dependence on extrinsic rewards for continued performance.
  • Define motivation in terms of drives, motives, and intrinsic vs. extrinsic motivators

• Neural Networks

  • However, experimental studies of electrophysiology, beginning in the early 20th century and reaching high productivity by the 1940s, showed that the nervous system contains many mechanisms for generating patterns of activity intrinsically—without requiring an external stimulus.
  • When intrinsically active neurons are connected to each other in complex circuits, the possibilities for generating intricate temporal patterns become far more extensive.
  • A modern conception views the function of the nervous system partly in terms of stimulus-response chains, and partly in terms of intrinsically generated activity patterns; both types of activity interact with each other to generate the full repertoire of behavior.

• The Psychology of Employee Satisfaction

  • Motivation can be intrinsic (consisting of internal factors within a person, such as the desire to succeed) or extrinsic (consisting of external factors, such as monetary incentives).
  • Allowing employees to have a voice in the organization creates intrinsic motivation for them to increase the quality of their performance because they care about the company as a whole.
  • Essentially, according to research by Ambrose and Kulik, the same variables that predict intrinsic motivation are associated with creativity.

• Discrimination Based on Sex and Gender

  • It has been linked to stereotypes and gender roles and includes the belief that males are intrinsically superior to other sexes and genders.

• Rogers' Humanistic Theory of Personality

  • Even aggressive needs will be matched and balanced by intrinsic goodness in congruent individuals.

• The Cognitive and Achievement Approaches to Motivation

  • Mastery goals are a form of intrinsic motivation (arising from internal forces) and have been found to be more effective than performance goals at sustaining students' interest in a subject.

• Biology of Sexual Behavior

  • The excitement phase is the phase in which the intrinsic (inner) motivation to pursue sex arises.

• Kohlberg's Stages of Moral Development

  • As a result, concern for others is not based on loyalty or intrinsic respect, but rather a "you scratch my back, and I'll scratch yours" mentality.
