Deep dives

Intrinsic and Extrinsic Motivation

Motivation can be categorized into intrinsic and extrinsic. Intrinsic motivation is when you perform a task because you enjoy it and find it fun. Extrinsic motivation, on the other hand, is driven by external factors like rewards or punishments. The self-determination theory states that everyone has three psychological needs - autonomy, competence, and relatedness. Satisfaction of these needs leads to intrinsic motivation. Autonomy refers to decision-making and doing things by choice. Competence means having the right skills for a task that is neither too easy nor too hard. Relatedness refers to feeling connected to your social environment.
