3. Explain how the intrinsic motivation state of flow might occur in rock climbing.
4. Using the multiple trait approach to consumer behavior, analyze which specific consumer traits would explain one's motivation to rock climb. For example, the Five Factor Model of personality traits is one framework that can be used.
