Interesting point, but can a discount really motivate someone long-term?

Wait, are we sure it's just about the discount? Seems a bit shallow.

I think it's more about intrinsic motivation. Shouldn't he enjoy the fitness itself?

Definitely extrinsic motivation! That discount is a big incentive.

I feel like relapse prevention doesn't fit here at all. The discount seems more about encouraging participation, which sounds like extrinsic motivation to me.

I'm a bit confused. Is self-monitoring related to tracking progress or something? I don't think that's what this question is asking.

I remember a practice question about motivation types, and I think this one is about extrinsic motivation since it's a reward for participation.

I think the discount is definitely some kind of motivation, but I'm not sure if it's intrinsic or extrinsic.

I'm pretty confident this is extrinsic motivation. The individual is participating to earn a discount, which is an external reward, not because of an internal drive or desire. D is the way to go here.

Wait, I'm confused. If the discount is an external factor, doesn't that mean it's not intrinsic motivation? But then how is it different from self-monitoring? I need to review my notes on these concepts.

Okay, I've got this. The discount is an external reward, so the correct answer has to be D. Extrinsic motivation. Easy peasy!

Hmm, I'm a little unsure about this one. The options seem pretty similar, and I'm not totally clear on the difference between intrinsic and extrinsic motivation. I'll have to think this through carefully.

This seems like a straightforward question about motivation. I think the key is to identify whether the discount is an external or internal factor driving the individual's participation in the fitness program.

D all the way. Extrinsic motivation is when the motivation comes from external factors, like the insurance discount. Nailed it!

Extrinsic motivation, no doubt. I wonder if they'll give me a discount on my gym membership if I show up more often. Gotta love those corporate perks!
