self determination theory

actions that come from the self

are volitional. choiceful and self endorsed

undermining conditions of intrinsic motivation

atunomy-relevant -pressure toward specific outcome -punishment contingencies -goal imposition -deadlines -controlling rewards -surveillance competence relevant -nonoptimal challenges -negative feedback relatedness cold interactions lack of positive involvement

what are the basic psychic needs

autonomy competence relatedness

facilitative conditions for atonomy, competence and relatedness

autonomy- goal choice strategy choice task involvement promotion of task interest competence relevant- optimal challenge, positive feed back relatedness empathy warmth security of attachment

what are causality orientations

characterstics of personality. when in social context that is supportive of autonomy,comp and relatedness=autonomous causality orientation controlling social context=controlled causality orientation. no ling between whaty you do and outcomes=impersonal

types of controlled motivation

coerced into behavior by external or internal forces. feelings of pressure and oblication 2 types:external regulation and introjected regulation

intrinsic aspirations

community contributions personal growth physical health

direction of behavior

either choice/volition or pressure and control. sometimes we can stand behind our behavior and feel autonomy or feel like others are making us feel some type of way

what is SDT

empirically based approach to human motivation, personality and social context. takes a deep interest in healthy functioning by staisfying basic psychic needs

what is autonomous motivation

endorse one behaviors fully. step outside and reflect task of oh do i endorse this behavior. yes!!

competence vs incompetence

experience of behavior as masterful feel capabale and effective........nothing i do is well

cogntive evaluation theory examines how

external events facilitate or undermine intrinsic motivation

2 categories of life goals

extrinsic-doesnt satisfty intrinsic-satisfy autnomy comp and relatedness

high control

go getters- always on the move. overstressed. more likely to die from a heart attack/ public self concious. see selves through others eyes

high autonomy correlates

high levels of self actualization, ego development, self esteem. care about others opinions. greater willingness to support autonomy.

inrinsic aspirations is related to

higher levels of vitality. positive affect, better relation, self actual. better psychological health.

what does the cognitive evaluation theory consist of

how events facilitate or undermine intrinsic motivation

organismic dialectic meta theory active vs passive nature

humans are by nature active. we seek out opportunitie for mastery. but vulnerable to passivity. we rely on external influences for energy and direction of behavior

what is the mechanistic view

humans are just machines. material and efficient causes. controlled by outside forces. s-r models. function of environmental stimuli

how can extrinsic motivation be internalized

if you endorse the value and process of coming to endorse it is enrgized by support for satisfaction of autonomy, competence and relatedness.

decharm' hypothesis

if you take an intrinsically motivated behavior and you contingently reinforce behavior this will cause percieved locus of causality from inside to external. this shift undermines autonomy and intrinsic motivation.

casuality orientations theory

individual differences in general motivation styles

how is the self a synthetic process

innate tendencies dacilitate psych growth and adaptation to the environment. towards integration at 3 levels

impersonal

intepret world as incompetence...im incompetenct cant achieve outcomes. amotivation and passivity

integrated regulation

internal. identify with value and synthesize that value with other values.

types of autonomous motivation

intrinsic motivation, integrated regulation and identified regulation

regulatory style: external regulation

least amount of relative autonomy. behave to get reward or avoid punishment. external.

organismic theory

living things are different. cant reduce them. show tendencies towards asimiliation and accomodation of new material and integration of material with pre existing aspects of the self through integration frrom a whole

extrinsic aspiartions

money social recgonition attractive appearance

psych study of u of r students after graduation....

no association between well being literally=0 for extrinsic attainment. some ill being. well being with intrinsic attainment

will all goals contribute to psych health

nope not even if attained

what is the self in SDT

not a view of oneself or their beliefs. now how i remember myself in past or how i hope to be. self is a process of synthesis

autonomous causality orientation

own needs are initiator of behavior interpret external events as informational regulate behavior with autonomy

sources of energy

physiological drives psych needs emotions can be complementary ot antagonistic

what is the reductionist view

reducing complex things to component parts interacting/ psych experiende reduced to bio chem then physics.

basic psychological needs theory

relation of psych needs to wellness. universality of needs

organismic integration theory

relative eutonomy of extrinsic motivation and what conditions faciliate internalization of extrinsic motivation

high impersonal

self derogation, depression, social enxiety low ego development and anxiety

the undermining experiment

soma puzzles...intrinsic motivation activity. 2 conditions. 1 reward for every puzzle is a dollar. no reward. then experimentor leves room and says do what you want. free choice paradigm. reward..less time engaged with the puzzles. no reward...more time with soma puzzles. evidence of undermining of intrinsic motivation shift in locus of casuality.

all people have

some amount of all 3 in balance

introjected regulation

somewhat external locus of causality. take contingency of environment and apply it to ourself. live up to our standards. pride. id one we punish ourselves with shame. some autonomy

identified regulation

somewhat internal locus of causality. some more autnomofy. must find value/ importance in activity.

tendency towards unity vs fragementation

us as humans tend toward unity. psych coherance. but we are vulnerable to psych fragmentation

controlled causality orientations

use external cues/demands as initiator of behavior interpret event as controlling--what is this event telling me to do regulate behavior with experience of control

relatedness vs disconnection

warm, caring, mutually supportive relationship. see others as loving us and we can love others......vs alienation.

what are the 3 levels of integration

within--move towards integration among different aspects of the psychi without-between self and external world with otherss-self and interpersonal world around us

goal content theory

development and correlates of life goals

autonomy versus heteronomy

...behavior is volitional and self endorsed. percieve behavior is emanating from self. vs......pressure control emanates from sources out of self

whats intrinsic motivation

behavior performed for satisfaction of the activity itself.. no separable outcomes, behavior is spontaneous. internal locus of control. interest, excitment feels good cause it is good for us. necessary for psych wellness.
