According to the overjustification effect, reinforcements that praise people tend to _______ intrinsic motivation, and reinforcement that seeks to control people _______ intrinsic motivation
The overjustification effect is a phenomenon in which being rewarded for doing something actually diminishes intrinsic motivation to perform that action. It occurs when an external incentive decreases a person's intrinsic motivation to perform a behavior or participate in an activity. People see external reinforcement as a coercive force hence having a reduced intrinsic motivation.
