extrinsic

Examples of extrinsic in the following topics:

• Incentive Theory of Motivation and Intrinsic vs. Extrinsic Motivation

  • According to incentive theory, behavior is primarily motivated by the incentive of extrinsic factors.
  • Incentive theory argues that people are primarily extrinsically motivated—meaning that most motivations stem from extrinsic sources.
  • The extrinsic motivator is outside of, and acts on, the individual.
  • Incentive theory is based on the idea that behavior is primarily extrinsically motivated.
  • Furthermore, the expectation of the extrinsic motivator by an individual is crucial: if the person expects to receive an extrinsic reward, then intrinsic motivation for the task tends to be reduced.

• Effects of Aging on the Integumentary System

  • Intrinsic and extrinsic aging describe cutaneous aging of the integumentary system primarily involving the dermis.
  • Intrinsic aging and extrinsic aging are terms used to describe cutaneous aging of the skin and other parts of the integumentary system.
  • Of all extrinsic causes, radiation from sunlight has the most widespread documentation of its negative effects on the skin.
  • Because of this, extrinsic aging is often referred to as photoaging.
  • Wrinkles form due to intrinsic (loss of collagen) and extrinsic (photodamage) aging.

• Motivation

  • Motivation can originate from oneself (intrinsic) or from other people (extrinsic).
  • Motivation can originate from oneself (intrinsic) or from other people (extrinsic).
  • External, or extrinsic motivation comes from outside of the individual.
  • Common extrinsic motivations are rewards, like money, and the threat of punishment.
  • A cheering crowd and trophies are also extrinsic incentives.

• Defining Motivation

  • Motivation can be intrinsic (arising from internal factors) or extrinsic (arising from external factors).
  • You are now getting extrinsic reinforcement (e.g., getting paid) for your work, and may over time become more extrinsically than intrinsically motivated.
  • Sometimes, intrinsic motivation can diminish when extrinsic motivation is given—a process known as the overjustification effect.
  • This can lead to extinguishing the intrinsic motivation and creating a dependence on extrinsic rewards for continued performance.
  • Define motivation in terms of drives, motives, and intrinsic vs. extrinsic motivators

• Herzberg's Two-Factor Theory

  • Frederick Herzberg's Two-Factor Theory, also known as Motivation-Hygiene Theory or intrinsic vs. extrinsic motivation, concludes that there are certain factors in the workplace that can cause job satisfaction and a separate set of factors that can cause dissatisfaction.
  • Managers must realize that not providing the appropriate and expected extrinsic motivators will sow dissatisfaction and unmotivated behavior among employees.
  • According to Herzberg, intrinsic motivators and extrinsic motivators have an inverse relationship.
  • This is to say that intrinsic motivators tend to inspire motivation when they are present, while extrinsic motivators tend to reduce motivation when they are absent.

• Semiconductors

  • The name "extrinsic semiconductor" can be a bit misleading.
  • While insulating materials may be doped to become semiconductors, intrinsic semiconductors can also be doped, resulting in an extrinsic semiconductor.
  • There are two types of extrinsic semiconductors that result from doping: atoms that have an extra electron (n-type for negative, from group V, such as phosphorus) and atoms that have one fewer electron (p-type for positive, from group III, such as boron).
  • Lightly and moderately doped semiconductors are referred to as extrinsic.
  • N-type semiconductors are a type of extrinsic semiconductor in which the dopant atoms are capable of providing extra conduction electrons to the host material (e.g. phosphorus in silicon).

• Employee Ownership

  • As an extrinsic motivator, the simple capital returns of ownership will play a role in empowering employee commitment.
  • Considering the strong sense of intrinsic and extrinsic incentives attainable through employee ownership, it functions as an excellent motivator.
  • This salesman now has a direct stake in the organization's revenues, and is motivated to contribute to the bottom line due to an extrinsic reward (the commission).
  • In a way, every single individual within the coop is an owner of the organization itself, and intrinsically and extrinsically motivated to optimize performance and achieve the best results.
  • Employees who feel both capable of a task, and who have ownership of the outcomes of that task (i.e. rewards, be they intrinsic or extrinsic), will be more likely to perform well.

• Motivating Listeners

  • We can divide our motives into two basic types: internal, intrinsic and external or extrinsic motives.
  • There is no a clear cut distinction between intrinsic and extrinsic motives.
  • Some are more intrinsic than others, but basically, a motive or motivator is extrinsic if someone controls the means or directs you to satisfy the need or desire.
  • For example, if you are motivated to study because a professor says you will fail the class if you do not, then you are extrinsically motivated and passing the class is the desired reward.

• Muscles that Cause Movement at the Foot

  • Although many extrinsic muscles attach within the dorsal compartment, there are only three intrinsic muscles which act on the foot and two extrinsic muscles which act on the foot rather than the ankle.
  • Extensor Digitorum Longus - The extensor digitorum longus is a deep-lying extrinsic muscle that lies runs down the length of the tibia.
  • Extensor Hallucis Longus - The extensor hallucis longus is a deep-lying extrinsic muscle lying beneath the extensor digitorum longus.

• Coagulation

  • The coagulation cascade is classically divided into three pathways: the contact (also known as the intrinsic) pathway, the tissue factor (also known as the extrinsic pathway), and the common pathway.
  • The main role of the extrinsic (tissue factor) pathway is to generate a "thrombin burst," a process by which large amounts of thrombin, the final component that cleaves fibrinogen into fibrin, is released instantly.
  • The extrinsic pathway occurs during tissue damage when damaged cells release tissue factor III.
  • When factor X is activated by either the intrinsic or extrinsic pathways, it activates prothrombin (also called factor II) and converts it into thrombin using factor V.
