I'm very surprised not to see "social recognition" (aka. validation) as a primary motivating factor.



i think social recognition is maybe more of a 'we expect this to develop earlier in life' sans obvious pop world examples of this being possibly a driving force. certainly social rec appears to be a layer or more above the other factors.
