Schaffner and Schiefele say:"Allerdings werden Zielorientierungen als kognitiv repräsentierte und bewusste Merkmale verstanden, sodass sie dem extrinsischen Leistungsmotiv näher stehen als dem intrinsischen." - "However, goal orientations are understood as cognitively represented and conscious features, so that they are closer to the extrinsic performance motive than to the intrinsic one." (Where the second is an adapted google translation).

The source is the chapter about motiovation in this book doi: 10.1007/978-3-642-41291-2_4. Since both just dropped the term extrinsic motive in just one sentence I weren't able to define it properly.

Now I know that we might make the distinction between implicit and explicit motives and that the awareness of the motive is a crucial factor in this scenario.

  But is there a justification to call cognitively represented features of which we are aware extrinsic motive?

In case of further need of clarification I would beg you to comment what remains unclear.

In a chapter on motivation in the book "Pädagogische Psychologie", I read that Schaffner and Schiefele say:

Allerdings werden Zielorientierungen als kognitiv repräsentierte und bewusste Merkmale verstanden, sodass sie dem extrinsischen Leistungsmotiv näher stehen als dem intrinsischen.

(English translation based on Google Translate) However, goal orientations are understood as cognitively represented and conscious features, so that they are closer to the extrinsic performance motive than to the intrinsic one.

Since the term 'extrinsic motive' was mentioned in just one sentence, I do not fully understand what it means.

I do know that we might make the distinction between implicit and explicit motives and that the awareness of the motive is a crucial factor in this scenario. But is there a justification to call cognitively represented features of which we are aware extrinsic motives?
