Moral motivation: internalism or externalism?

Other 329 / 931 (35.3%)

Accept or lean toward: internalism 325 / 931 (34.9%)

Accept or lean toward: externalism 277 / 931 (29.8%)

Internalism is the belief that it is a necessary truth that, if A believes X to be wrong/right, A is at least partly motivated to avoid/promote/honour X. Externalism is usually considered to be the denial of internalism, so I don't know what 35.5% of people are talking about. My guess is they meant "don't know".
