Rohit helps others to get praise. This is an example of:

Concept

Motivation is classified by the source that drives behaviour. Intrinsic motivation is engaging in an activity for the inherent satisfaction, interest, or enjoyment the activity itself provides, with no external reward involved. Extrinsic motivation is engaging in an activity to obtain an external outcome - praise, recognition, grades, money, or avoidance of punishment - that is separate from the activity itself. Innate motivation refers to inborn, unlearned biological drives (such as hunger or thirst) that are present from birth rather than shaped by social reward.

Application

In the given scenario, Rohit helps others specifically to get praise. The driving force behind his behaviour is an external outcome - the praise/recognition he receives from others - rather than any inherent satisfaction he derives from the act of helping itself. This external-reward structure is the defining feature of extrinsic motivation.

Contrast

• Intrinsic Motivation: the behaviour is driven purely by internal satisfaction or interest in the activity itself, with no external reward as the goal - this does not match Rohit's behaviour, since praise (an external outcome) is the stated driver.

• Innate Motivation: describes inborn biological drives present from birth (such as hunger or thirst) rather than a learned social behaviour aimed at an external reward - helping others for praise is a learned, socially-driven behaviour, not an inborn drive.

• None of these: applicable only when the behaviour does not fit any recognized category of motivation; since Rohit's behaviour matches a standard, well-defined category, this option does not apply.

Since Rohit's behaviour is driven by the external outcome of receiving praise, it is a textbook example of extrinsic motivation.
