Question 4

A teacher decides to implement a 'Star Student' award for the highest scoring student in each weekly test. While this initially boosts some students' performance, others who were already interested in the subject begin to show less enthusiasm for learning, focusing more on the award itself. This phenomenon is best explained by:

Accepted Answer

B. The overjustification effect. — The correct answer is B. The overjustification effect occurs when an expected external incentive (like a reward) decreases a person's intrinsic motivation to perform a task. Students who were intrinsically motivated begin to attribute their engagement to the external reward rather than their genuine interest. Self-efficacy and expectancy-value theories relate to belief in one's ability and value of the task, while cognitive dissonance relates to discomfort from conflicting beliefs or actions.
