Intrinsic Motivation - -involves doing a behaviour because the activity itself is interesting
and spontaneously satisfying
Effects of extrinsic motivation in intrinsic motivation - -Extrinsic rewards decrease
intrinsic motivation across a range of things
Positive performance feedback and intrinsic motivation - -PPF has been found in some
instances to enhance intrinsic motivation rather than undermine it
Informational Events - -Events that convey competence w/o being controlling
Amotivation - -Little intrinsic or extrinsic motivation
Difference between Autonomy and Indepence - -Autonomy means to act volitionally,
with a sense of choice, whereas independence means to function alone and not rely on
others.
Three types of internalization - -Introjection
Identification
Integration
Introjection - -least effective
It involves people taking in an external contingency, demand, or regulation but not
accepting it as their own. Instead, it remains somewhat alien to them and tends to
control them much as it did when it was still external.
In a sense, introjection represents only a partial internalization, for people take in a
control w/o feeling a sense of ownership of it and allow it to pressure and control them.
