their rooms and hear potential Answer anyone you peer pressure
russian cleanliness paint all right Well first let's take a
look at what the incentive theory actually is Incentive theorists
believe that behaviour is motivated by something that's personally encouraging
or rewarding like how we promised ourselves an entire pizza
If we finished this questions so would an incentive theorists
suggest answered a well as nice is a clean room
and a feeling of safety can be they don't really
provide enough motivation for a kid to clean their room
Most kids generally need something a little more rewarding in
order Teo clean a messy room behind most shmoop dude
you should see my desk Alright tween cross off How
about answer be Well any incentive theorists worth their salt
wouldn't recommend peer pressure Yes it's a type of motivation
but it isn't based on any praise or reward instead
Involved the urge to fit in and look cool which
we're pretty sure it can be accomplished by eating an
entire so we can eliminate be you see what we're
looking for Well not quite This type of motivation would
most likely be suggested by n arousal theorist again there's
No reward being offered in this scenario Just that crazy
adrenaline rush we all get when we start cleaning our
rooms We don't all get that well never mind It
looks like we can sweep away See and that brings
us to answer d self actualization is the desire for
self fulfillment and the need to reach one's potential Well
unless you're the buddha room cleaning it seems pretty unlikely
that you would find self fulfillment vacuuming and dusting It's
also pretty doubtful that an incentive theorists would suggest motivating
a kid to clean their room with a concept of
self actualization leaving us with each paying them to clean
their room pretty straight forward right And incentive theorists would
suggest that motivating kids by giving them money a k
a reward a k and incentive kids like money All
right everyone likes money gold hard cash and exchange from
picking up some dirty socks sounds like a good deal 00:02:14.91 --> [endTime] to us
