Transformative learning aims to influence which aspect of motivation in clients?

• A. Intrinsic motivation
• B. Extrinsic motivation
• C. External rewards
• D. Social approval

Answer: (A)

Transformative learning centers on helping clients reframe their beliefs and values, so their actions become more self-directed. As people reflect and adopt new perspectives, motivation shifts from doing things to gain outside rewards or approval toward pursuing goals that feel personally meaningful. This internal drive—intrinsic motivation—tends to be more durable and self-sustaining because the behavior is aligned with the person’s own values and sense of autonomy. External rewards, quotes of social approval, and other outside incentives can spark initial involvement but don’t foster the same lasting inner motivation that transformative learning aims to cultivate.
