AP Psychology
Unit 7 – Motivation, Emotion, and Personality
Topic 7.1
How do intrinsic motivation theories contrast with behaviorist views on human motivation?
Intrinsic theories emphasize internal drives for satisfaction and accomplishment, while behaviorism focuses on external rewards and punishments.
Behaviorism denies any form of internal motivation, unlike intrinsic theories which solely focus on external rewards.
Both agree that extrinsic factors are the only valid motivators for human behavior.
Intrinsic theories support punishment as a primary motivator, contradicting behaviorist views which advocate for reward-based motivation systems.
