Extrinsische Intrinsische Motivation

The video explores the concepts of extrinsic and intrinsic motivation, using the stories of Tom and Mira to illustrate the effects of different motivational approaches. Tom, driven by intrinsic motivation, develops creativity but struggles with societal norms. Mira, motivated extrinsically, excels in structured environments but loses touch with her personal interests. The video emphasizes the need for a balance between both motivations, supported by research showing that while extrinsic rewards can undermine intrinsic interest, positive feedback can enhance it. The conclusion invites viewers to reflect on their own motivational influences.
