(
Motivation is defined as a “condition—usually an internal one—that initiates, activates, or maintains” a
person’s behavior (Shiraev & Levy, 2021). In other words, it is a reason for doing something or working
toward a goal. What motivates you? Pause to consider that question as it is key to this Assignment. For
example, are you driven by the need for security, duty, recognition, self-actualization, or something else?
Your answer probably depends on the context in life (e.g., school, work, health, family) in question.
Various motivational theories can be applied in all of these contexts.
Now consider the influence culture has on shaping motivations within you. Most likely from your life
experiences, you are already aware that what motivates you may not be the same as what motivates
someone else, especially someone from a different cultural background. Emphasis placed on individual
achievement differs among cultures, as does tendency toward collective responsibility, consumerism,
spontaneity, and other factors related to motivation.
As you develop your understanding of motivation and view of achievement within cross-cultural
psychology, you will also continue to work on your scholarly writing skills. Your opinions in this
Assignment should be supported by evidence from the Learning Resources. Each time you mention an
idea from a resource, you should provide a citation (e.g., Author, Date) and include the full APA reference
in your reference list.
MOTIVATION AND ACHIEVEMENT
RESOURCES
Review the assigned Learning Resources.
Consider your most powerful drives and needs.
Consider what motivation you possess that are intrinsic and which are extrinsic.
Think about individualist vs. collectivist achievement, and what success means to you.
Review the Writing Center resources to understand APA style and the overall expectations of
scholarly writing at Walden. Use the “Undergraduate Paper with Advice APA 7” course template for
this Assignment.
Write a 2-page paper that addresses the following:
Analyze and then explain your most powerful drives and needs.
Building on the first prompt, further explain which of your strongest sources of motivation are intrinsic
and which are extrinsic. Do you have more of one type or the other, or an overall balanced
motivational style?
Discuss your thoughts on individualist vs. collectivist achievement. Which is more appealing to you?
What does success mean to you?
Humans bring motivation into every personal and work relationship. Knowing this, how can
understanding different views of motivation help you at work, with personal relationships, and with
cross-cultural interactions?
Support the responses within your assignment with credited evidence from the assigned learning
resources (including sentence-level citations). Provide a reference list in APA Style for resources you
used in the assignment.
Note: Remember you have been working on your scholarly writing skills. Whenever you
mention something from the course text or other resources in your paper, you must give
proper credit. Include a citation as this example shows (Powers, 2022) in your writing to
