Question

when something outside of the individual is the source of desire to do something, we call this ______. extrinsic motivation intrinsic motivation extrinsic reinforcement intrinsic reinforcement

Explanation:

Extrinsic motivation is defined as motivation that comes from external sources (outside the individual), such as rewards, recognition, or external pressures. Intrinsic motivation is from within the individual (personal interest, enjoyment). Extrinsic/Intrinsic Reinforcement are related to strengthening behavior, not the source of desire to act. So the correct term for external - sourced desire to act is Extrinsic Motivation.

A. Extrinsic Motivation
