Competition is everywhere in our lives and is a natural part of human behavior., Psychologists study competition to better understand human motivation and behavior., Competition can strongly influence how people behave, but its effects are often temporary., There are two main types of motivation: intrinsic (internal) and extrinsic (external)., Extrinsic motivation (e.g. prizes, rewards) can make people act differently, but the effect usually disappears after the reward is gone., Intrinsic motivation (passion, personal belief) leads to long-term behavior change., When people are intrinsically motivated, they are more likely to continue the behavior even after competition ends., External rewards can sometimes reduce intrinsic motivation instead of increasing it., Competition can both motivate people and create negative side effects, depending on how it is structured., Real, lasting change happens when people act out of genuine interest, not just for rewards.
