What to Focus On
- Motivation is a psychological force that directs and energizes behavior.
- It comes from the Latin word 'movere', meaning 'to move'.
- It involves internal and external factors that drive action.
- The three components of motivation are Activation, Persistence, and Intensity.
- Activation means starting a task.
- Persistence means continuing despite obstacles.
- Intrinsic motivation comes from internal satisfaction.
- Extrinsic motivation is driven by external rewards.
- Social, biological, achievement, and cognitive motivations influence behavior.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Motivation is the same as inspiration or a sudden feeling of energy.
Extrinsic motivation is always better than intrinsic motivation because rewards push you harder.
