Personal Intrinsic Motivators When intrinsic motivation is present, it can have a strong influence on an individual’s behaviour. In healthcare, this gives rise to individuals who are dedicated and passionate about their work. Manion (2011) identified five intrinsic motivators that influence professional behaviour: “healthy relationships, meaningful purpose, competence, choice and progress” (p. 297) and in this instance, all five were present. Workplace engagement is in place when the presence of these factors serves to stimulate and inspire individuals to achieve happiness in their professional lives.…
This type of motivation has an impact on a student’s behavior temporary, but does not give the student motivation in the long run. Students should want to learn new things and should not expect to be rewarded for learning new things.

Extrinsic motivation consists of systems or policies that encourage the child to earn rewards by behaving in a manner that promotes learning. This means that students will behave because they know…
(Lang, par 10). On the surface, extrinsic motivation may seem like it helps students learn by giving them a goal to work towards, but in reality it is only hurting their education. Intrinsic motivation “leads to deep learning” and can help students retain information better (Lang, par 10). Students who learn because they are interested in the material and what they might get out of it are more likely to succeed than students who only learn for a good…
College is a place of rigorous work. An area where an individual has worked to stay and will keep working until they have fulfilled their goals. However, before attending a college or university, a high school student will spend their last year applying for various schools and turning in numerous scholarship applications. How exactly does the psychological process work for an individual whom is deciding where to spend their next few years studying for their potential careers? Availability heuristic, the hippocampus, the intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, and an individual’s self-fulfilling prophecy all take place in deciding what college to apply to as well as other everyday life scenarios.…
Intrinsic motivation functions with productivity and is self-sustaining. It is enhanced by social contexts but can unravel with punishment, evaluations and controlling rewards.

This is about the integration of one’s self. This comes from the basic needs that are met and/or not met. The researchers found that when intrinsically motivated people it was due to a maintenance and enhancement from social contexts, that is however, undermined by things like rewards, threats of punishments and controlling evaluations (Deci, Ryan, & Guay, 2013). This leads to people doing behaviors that they do not find interesting. This is the area where people need the extrinsic motivation.…
The Social Psychology of Exercise Adherence According to Seguin (2010), exercise is defined as exerting physical effort to maintain or improve health and fitness. It is truly a remarkable concept in life, as it allows an individual to take control of personal health and wellbeing. Exercise compiled with a little bit of commitment to leading a better dietary lifestyle can produce amazing physical results, but more importantly incredible psychological results as well. The phrase, “you look good, you feel good” has been thrown around for years, but in fact there is proof through research that backs this up with direct correlation to exercise.…

Today, however the college experience has awakened me to the power of knowledge, I am so ecstatic to keep learning and expanding my knowledge, especially about the human mind and behavior.…
Chapter 6 of Essentials of Educational Psychology discusses that there are internal and external factors that affect student motivation.

A student participates in a game because she finds it exciting. Extrinsic (external) motivation are influences outside of the student, examples would be teachers and instructional strategies (Ormrod, 2015).…
