Answer 1

Both Intrinsically and Extrinsically motivated

Explanation:

Eileen is both intrinsically and extrinsically motivated. Psychologists work on motivation. They see whether motivation is intrinsically motivated or externally important. Both types of motivation are most important for a person. But both have different effects on a person. Intrinsic motivation affects a person internally but extrinsic motivation affects a person from outwardly.

Extrinsic motivation:

When a person performed a behavior in getting a reward and avoid punishment externally. When you get engaged in work not because you do like it but because you want to get some reward or incentive.

Intrinsic motivation:

The motivation that occurs internally. A person does that work just because of he like it and enjoying it. A person wants to get reward internally and get satisfied.
