The overall score for intrinsic motivation is 3.13, with a challenge score of 3.06 and an enthusiasm score of 3.23. The overall score for extrinsic motivation is 2.91, with a reliance on others’ evaluations scoring 2.74, preference for simple tasks scoring 3.1, concern for interpersonal competition scoring 3, and pursuit of rewards scoring 2.87. Overall, the group’s intrinsic motivation scores higher than their extrinsic motivation. In terms of gender differences, female students show higher intrinsic motivation than males, while male students show higher extrinsic motivation compared to females.
