Consider the philosophical and psychological analysis of Abraham Maslow's 'Hierarchy of Needs Theory' and types of motivation. If one student solves difficult math problems driven by inherent curiosity, personal satisfaction, and self-actualization, while another student does so to secure the first rank in class and receive praise from the teacher, which of the following statements is most authentic in the context of Maslow's motivational model and intrinsic vs. extrinsic motivation?
✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation
According to Abraham Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs theory, human needs progress from lower levels (physiological and safety needs) to higher levels (self-actualization). When an individual engages in an activity purely for internal satisfaction, curiosity, and personal growth without external rewards or punishments, it is termed Intrinsic Motivation.
Conversely, being driven by things like praise, grades, or rewards is called Extrinsic Motivation, which corresponds to the category of esteem and social recognition in Maslow's hierarchy.
Key Takeaways:
- Intrinsic Motivation: Driven by internal rewards, personal satisfaction, and curiosity (e.g., self-actualization).
- Extrinsic Motivation: Driven by external rewards, praise, and social validation (e.g., esteem needs).
