What is the difference between achievement motivation and affiliation motivation?

Achievement motivation involves performance excellence while affiliation motivation involves social interaction

Achievement motivation and affiliation motivation are both important aspects of human behavior known as "motivation." While both relate to how individuals are driven to achieve certain goals, they do have some distinct differences in terms of focus. Achievement motivation is geared towards pushing oneself to achieve personal goals while affiliation motivation focuses more on developing relationships with others. Choice B and C are incorrect as they suggest that only one type of motivation is related to success or teamwork. Finally, choice D is incorrect as it implies that individuals with affiliation motivation are only driven by failure, which is not the case.
