Intrinsic reward is a result of effort that is self-fulfilling. This refers to rewards that are entirely contained in the self as opposed to extrinsic rewards related to social and material outcomes. The following are common types of intrinsic rewards.
Accomplishment | Achieving Goals | Autonomy | Avoidance of Stress | Belonging | Confidence | Connectedness | Creative Expression | Doing Good | Feeling Appreciated | Feeling Productive | Freedom | Freedom from Harm | Giving to Others | Health | Job Satisfaction | Life Satisfaction | Living According to Values | Meaningful Experiences | Meaningful Work | Peak Experiences | Personal Resilience | Personal Satisfaction | Positive Emotions | Pursuing Curiosity | Pursuing Interests | Self-determination | Self-fulfillment | Sense of Stability | Well-being |
Some of the rewards above could also be extrinsic rewards. For example, any meaningful experiences that are social in nature could be considered extrinsic.
