The correct example of an internal motivation from those options is values.

Quick Scoop: Why “values”?

Internal motivations (often called intrinsic motivations) come from inside a person, such as:

  • Personal values and beliefs
  • Enjoyment or interest in an activity
  • Sense of purpose, growth, or fulfillment

External motivations (often called extrinsic motivations) come from outside a person, such as:

  • Family expectations
  • Peer pressure
  • Media influence, rewards, or praise

So, in the question:

Which of these is an example of internal motivations?

  • Peers
  • Media
  • Values
  • Family
  • Peers = outside influence (external).
  • Media = outside influence (external).
  • Family = outside influence (external).
  • Values = inner beliefs and principles that guide your choices from within, so this is internal motivation.

One-sentence memory hook

If it lives inside your mind and heart (like your values), it’s internal; if it lives around you (like peers, media, or family), it’s external.
