Extrinsic motivation

http://www.hulu.com/watch/2004/arrested-development-disaster-play#s-p2-sa-i1

This clip is an example of extrinsic motivation. That is. the desire to engage in an activity because of external rewards or pressures, not because we enjoy the task or find it interesting.
Both Maeby and George Michael are extrinsically motivated to participate in the school play. For George Michael it is the reward of spending time with the cousin he has a crush on, and for Maeby it is to kiss the boy she has a crush on. Neither show any real interest in theater.
