(web link) My extrinsic motivation was above standard at 3.0 and this is demonstrated by the fact that my willingness to avoid conflicts in the future and being recognized as a competent student were external motivators. This extrinsic motivation could, however, lead to problems in my learning style because the author) describes this behavior as belonging to someone who is a student who avoids failure (dfsffksf) (AUTHOR) describes a student who avoids failure failure as someone who values ​​“[f]eelings of relief rather than pride” and who deserves “competition for extrinsic rewards” such as recognition (p. 169). My desire for my supervisor to view me as a competent student was the extrinsic factor that motivated me to pursue an alternative strategy if a similar situation arose in the future. These “self-destructive behaviors associated with a failure-avoidance mentality are largely the creatures of negative reinforcement.” (p.169). So negative reinforcement, fear of punishment, was the driving force behind my learning change.
