Edith tends to want to do something only if there a tangible reward that results. She will not play sports unless she feels that she has a chance at being the best. Once she has earned the B she wants in school, she in uninterested in completing more work for her class.What best explains the type of motivation that Edith is demonstrating? Why?

We know that this is the type of motivation that works for her since she won't do anything without a reward. For example, she won't study in school because she wants to learn—she only wants to earn a grade.

She just wants to be the best on everything, and feels bad if she gets something wrong, and probably gets embarrassed. She thinks that she has to be perfect, and always wants to have something in return.
