These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. Finally we present an intensively studied activity-related incentive, i.e., the experience of flow. Qualitative and quantitative ways to measure activity-related incentives are outlined. Instead of using the term intrinsic motivation, we use the term activity-related motivation. With the “Extended Cognitive Model of Motivation” different aspects of motivation are theoretically integrated. In doing so, the problem became evident, that the term intrinsic motivation refers to different, even conflicting conceptions.
Besides this understanding of intrinsic motivation, other conceptions are presented (self-determination, experience of competence, interest and involvement, mean-end-correspondence, learning-goal orientation). The engagement due to the enjoyment of an activity is often called intrinsic motivation. The performance of an activity can have positive incentives per se and individuals may engage in an activity purely for the enjoyment of it.
