cici firmly believes that every child deserves a loving parent. she becomes a foster parent because she knows that it is the right thing to do, even though she receives no material rewards for doing so. cici becomes a foster parent because of _______ motivation.

○ biological
○ extrinsic
○ instinct
○ intrinsic

Explanation:

First Question (Otto's situation)

• Emotion refers to feelings, not goal - directed behavior drivers.
• Habit is a repeated behavior, not the internal force for a goal.
• Drive is an internal state pushing towards a need, but motivation is the broader term for wants/needs directing behavior to a goal. Otto's studying to become a school psychologist is motivated by his goal, so "motivation" fits.

• Biological motivation is related to biological needs (like hunger), not applicable here.
• Extrinsic motivation comes from external rewards (like money), but Cici gets no material rewards.
• Instinct is an innate behavior, not a motivation type here.
• Intrinsic motivation comes from internal values/beliefs (doing something because it's right). Cici becomes a foster parent because she believes it's right, so it's intrinsic motivation.

Answer:

D. motivation
