Mr. and Mrs. Scott want to instill a sense of intrinsic motivation in their 5-year-old daughter Yin. Yin brings home a drawing of her school and classroom. How should the Scotts respond?

Answer:"You really worked hard on this drawing!"

Explanation:Intrinsic motivation refers to doing something because you are internally driven to do it and expect no external rewards for it. You do something because it is personally satisfying to you. It gives someone an ability to actualize their potentials.

If Scott tells Yin how hard he has worked on the drawing it will evoke the feeling of pride and contentment on his ability to do well and next time he will believe more in his ability and be driven by how capable he is.
