Central Theoretical Aspect of SDT•SDT is a motivational theory, that differentiates autonomous and controlled types of motivation
Autonomous Motivation•When a person fully endorse a behavior and experiences volition and choice.
Controlled Motivation•When a person feels coerced or seduced into behaving, with the experience of pressure and obligation.

Outcomes Associated With High Autonomous Motivation
Greater persistenceMore flexibility and creativityBetter heuristic performanceMore interest/enjoymentBetter mental health and well-beingBetter physical healthHigher quality of close personal relationships
Clearly, support for autonomy has important functional effects Across the Life Span Across Genders Across SES Across Cultures

Outcomes Associated With High Controlled Motivation
Compliance if the reward is desiredDefiance when the control is too greatShort-term rote learningAlienation and disaffiliationDiminished well-beingPoorer quality personal relationships

Additional Key Aspect of SDT:The Basic Psychological Needs
Relatedness Feeling cared for, connected to, sense of belonging with others
Competence Sense of effectance and confidencein one’s context
Autonomy Behave in accord with abiding values and interests; actions would bereflectively self-endorsed
![Page 8: The Motivational Basis of Effective Performance and Well-being Edward L. Deci](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56814af0550346895db7fefb/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Basic Psychological Needs•Evolved necessities for healthy development
•Satisfaction of these needs promotes autonomous motivation and psychological well-being
•Thwarting of the needs leads to controlled motivation or amotivation, and to ill-being
•Needs are not necessarily consciously valued or pursued, but failing to satisfy them still has negative consequences
•They are universal, not culturally specific
![Page 9: The Motivational Basis of Effective Performance and Well-being Edward L. Deci](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56814af0550346895db7fefb/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

Autonomous Motivation•Includes intrinsically motivated behaviors
•Includes extrinsically motivated behaviors that have been fully internalized
![Page 11: The Motivational Basis of Effective Performance and Well-being Edward L. Deci](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56814af0550346895db7fefb/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

Intrinsic Motivation•Doing an activity because it is interesting and enjoyable
•Satisfies people’s basic psychological needs for competence, autonomy, and relatedness
•It’s the prototype of autonomy
![Page 13: The Motivational Basis of Effective Performance and Well-being Edward L. Deci](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56814af0550346895db7fefb/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Extrinsic Rewards
Doing an activity specifically because it leads to a separate consequence such as a reward, avoidance of a punishment, or social approval.

The First Reward Studies•Monetary rewards to college students decreased intrinsic motivation for a puzzle-solving activity (Deci, 1971)
![Page 16: The Motivational Basis of Effective Performance and Well-being Edward L. Deci](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56814af0550346895db7fefb/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Results of 92 Experiments on the Effects of Incentives on Intrinsic
Motivation
Extrinsic Rewards Undermined Intrinsic Motivation, especially if they were:
•Contingent upon doing the task, •Expected when doing the task, and •Salient.
![Page 17: The Motivational Basis of Effective Performance and Well-being Edward L. Deci](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56814af0550346895db7fefb/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Other Negative Effects of Rewards
Tangible Rewards:
•Create more rigid thinking and poorer problem solving.
•Lead people to take the shortest route to the rewards.
![Page 18: The Motivational Basis of Effective Performance and Well-being Edward L. Deci](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56814af0550346895db7fefb/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Why Do Tangible Rewards Undermine Intrinsic Motivation?
Because people have a fundamental human need to be autonomous rather than controlled. Chasing the carrot is being controlled, and thwarts autonomy.
![Page 19: The Motivational Basis of Effective Performance and Well-being Edward L. Deci](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56814af0550346895db7fefb/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Other Extrinsic Motivators That Have Negative Effects
Threats of Punishment (Deci & Cascio)
Deadlines (Amabile et al.)
Evaluations (Smith)
Competition (Deci et al.)
Why? Because they tend to control people externally and thus undermine autonomy.
![Page 20: The Motivational Basis of Effective Performance and Well-being Edward L. Deci](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56814af0550346895db7fefb/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Some External Events with Positive Effects
Providing Choice (Zuckerman et al.)
Acknowledging feelings (Koestner et al.)
Why?
Because they enhance people’s experience of autonomy
![Page 21: The Motivational Basis of Effective Performance and Well-being Edward L. Deci](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56814af0550346895db7fefb/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Negative FeedbackDecreases intrinsic motivation
Positive FeedbackIncreases intrinsic motivation
Why?
Because we also have a fundamental psychological need to be competent

When Using Incentives•Don’t use them to motivate.•Keep them relatively non-salient.•Use them to acknowledge a job well done. •Don’t use them to promote maintenance. •Be sure the interpersonal environment is supportive.•Don’t use controlling language.

Some activities in our lives are not intrinsically interesting, and that’s where
extrinsic motivation comes in.
![Page 26: The Motivational Basis of Effective Performance and Well-being Edward L. Deci](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56814af0550346895db7fefb/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
People tend to internalize aspects of the environment (e.g., extrinsic motivation) that are endorsed by important others.
Why?
Because they have a need for relatedness
![Page 27: The Motivational Basis of Effective Performance and Well-being Edward L. Deci](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56814af0550346895db7fefb/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Types of Extrinsic Motivation
External Regulation: No Internalization
* Pressured by external contingencies
Introjected Regulation: Partial Internalization
* Pressured by internal contingencies
* Not true self-regulation
Identified/Integrated Regulation: Full Internalization
* Feel a sense of full sense of autonomy and choice
![Page 28: The Motivational Basis of Effective Performance and Well-being Edward L. Deci](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56814af0550346895db7fefb/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Autonomous MotivationIntrinsic motivation + Identified/Integrated regulation
Controlled MotivationExternal regulation + Introjected regulation

Basic Need Satisfaction and Internalization
•The social contextual factors that maintain intrinsic motivation are essentially the same as those that promote internalization of extrinsic motivation
•They are the conditions that facilitate satisfaction of the basics psychological needs for competence, autonomy, and relatedness
![Page 31: The Motivational Basis of Effective Performance and Well-being Edward L. Deci](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56814af0550346895db7fefb/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Social Contexts•Comprised in part of specific events such as the offer of a reward, the opportunity for choice, or provision of feedback, as already discussed
•But social contexts can also be characterized as a kind of composite that conveys the general ambience or climate of a situation (e.g., home, classroom, work group)
•Contexts can be need supportive or controlling.
![Page 32: The Motivational Basis of Effective Performance and Well-being Edward L. Deci](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56814af0550346895db7fefb/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)

Need Supportive Contexts
•Relate from the others’ perspective
•Encourage self-initiation & exploration
•Offer relevant choices
•Provide meaningful rationale
•Provide positive and constructive feedback
Need support satisfies basic psychological needs and promotes autonomous motivation
![Page 34: The Motivational Basis of Effective Performance and Well-being Edward L. Deci](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56814af0550346895db7fefb/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Pressure people (through coercion or seduction) to perform as you demand, with
•Threats•Rewards•Demanding language•Evaluations and criticism
They undermine autonomous motivation and promote controlled motivation
Controlling Contexts
