The article critiques the reliance on motivational labels such as 'rewarder' or 'connector' and compares this to stereotypes. While many people depend on these labels to understand their behaviors, motivation is complex and context-driven, making such categorizations often inaccurate. The article also challenges the long-standing intrinsic versus extrinsic motivation dichotomy, arguing that neuroscience indicates a more intricate interplay in motivations. Feeling in control over choices significantly boosts an individual's brain reward response, emphasizing the importance of autonomy in fostering motivation.
Motivation frequently changes, so relying on labels can be as inaccurate as trusting stereotypes.
The intrinsic versus extrinsic motivation dichotomy is oversimplified, with neuroscience suggesting a more nuanced understanding of motivation.
When a person feels in control of their choices, their brain's reward response intensifies, highlighting the importance of autonomy in motivation.
