Extrinsic motivation occurs when we are motivated to perform a behavior or engage in an activity in order to earn a reward or avoid a punishment.
example: Studying because you want to get a good grade

Intrinsic motivation involves engaging in a behavior because it is personally rewarding; essentially, performing an activity for its own sake rather than the desire for some external reward.
example: Participating in a sport because you find the activity enjoyable

Extrinsic arises from the outside, intrinsic arises from within
