Address the following in your handout:

  • Identification of intrinsic and extrinsic rewards in the killers’ behaviors
  • Demonstration of application of theory-based motivation (expectancy-value, self-worth, social comparison, and so forth) for how serial killers may have been motivated to learn such violent behavior
