Question

which scenario is an example of intrinsic motivation?
kimi fixed gordon’s tablet in exchange for a copy of his notes from math class.
evan noticed the flashing lights in his rearview mirror and pulled over to the curb.
marileta bought a $20 gift card for rick after drawing his name in the office holiday party.
yannick always studies until midnight because good grades make him happy.

Explanation:

Intrinsic motivation is doing an activity for internal satisfaction (e.g., enjoyment, personal growth) rather than external rewards. Yannick studies until midnight because good grades make him happy—his motivation comes from the internal feeling of happiness from good grades. Kimi’s action is for an exchange (external), Evan’s is a reaction to a stimulus, and Marileta’s is for a party (external/obligation - related).

Answer:

Yannick always studies until midnight because good grades make him happy.
