Question

which is an intrinsic goal created from an external motivator?
a. my parents want me to try out for a sports team c. i think going to college is important
b. i need to drive my sister to school each day d. i need to work to make money

Explanation:

To determine the answer, we analyze each option:

• Option a: "My parents want me to try out for a sports team" is an external motivator (parents' desire), but it's not an intrinsic goal (own internal desire/value) yet.
• Option b: "I need to drive my sister to school each day" is a task, not a goal related to internal motivation from an external prompt.
• Option c: "I think going to college is important" – external motivators (like societal expectations, family hopes) can lead to internalizing the importance of college, making it an intrinsic goal (valuing college for personal growth, etc.) from external influences.
• Option d: "I need to work to make money" is an external motivator (money, external reward) driving a behavior, not an intrinsic goal (like working for passion, which this isn't).

Answer:

c. I think going to college is important
