A 2000 Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) report revealed:

Extrinsic and Intrinsic Motivations: How Do Managers and Leaders Balance Them?
Extrinsic Motivations
Extrinsic motivations come from the outside world. Some call it peer pressure, social pressure, social norms, social values, etc. Many of these terms are looked at as negative. But many of them are necessary for social, moral, and economic stability. The term “pressure” implies that the person wants you to conform to something negative. But in reality, most of the “pressure” is to conform to the “norm” or to become the most “functional”. The highest level of functioning is “success”.
We measure extrinsic motivational success against the outside world, “achievement”, “recognition”, “status”, “promotions”, and “financial rewards”.
Intrinsic Motivations
Intrinsic motivations come from our inner world. Some call it personal purpose, personal growth, life goals, charity, and social interests. These motivations are not measured against the outside world.
The key is to balance the need for external validation (Extrinsic) with self fulfillment (Intrinsic).

A Personality Look At The Late Michael Jackson
From: A Black-American Experience
This title is endorsed by The International Library of Paranormal Psychology by Tres Mali Scott, M.Ed., M.S., Ph.D. (ABD)
You may not have paid attention while he was alive because of “His Entertaining Music”! But Michael Jackson altered his appearance to such a degree that from a paranormal psychological (PNP) view it appeared as though the problems with his father caused him to change how he looks.
One of his song’s, “I’m Looking At the Man in The Mirror”, also indicates that he mentally disassociated himself from the related men in his life. “The Man In His Mirror” looks nothing like his father.
The media told many stories about Michael Jackson’s life. It was said that his father was extremely abusive. It is also said Michael Jackson is a “humble” person.
It appears as though his fathers personality and behavior had an extremely negative impact on Michael Jackson’s self image.

Autism and Children Antidepressants
According to the Los Angeles Times6/2/2009 paper:
…a third of all children diagnosed with autism in the U.S. take citalopram, the antidepressant examined in the study, or others that are closely related.
The study showed that the antidepressant was no better than the placeba and does not help austism.
