Study Notes

Motivation is defined by psychologists as the desire or drive to initiate and sustain a particular behavior, with two main categories: intrinsic and extrinsic motivation.
Intrinsic motivation involves doing an activity for its own sake, driven by personal enjoyment, interest, or satisfaction, while extrinsic motivation is driven by external rewards or outcomes.
Extrinsic motivators, such as money or praise, can be short-lived in their effectiveness, compared to intrinsic motivation which tends to lead to long-term engagement and persistence.
The overjustification effect occurs when additional extrinsic motivators are added to a task that is already intrinsically motivating, potentially leading to decreased overall motivation and performance.
Strategies to enhance motivation include focusing on building intrinsic motivation by making tasks more enjoyable in the moment, such as involving friends or creating a positive environment.
