  • Ryan posited that the more one perceives communications from others as pressure to attain a specific outcome, the less likely one is to experience autonomous motivation for that activity.

    “Ryan (1982), citing the very example of evaluation, posited that the more one perceives communications from others as pressure to attain a specific outcome, the less likely one is to experience autonomous motivation for that activity.”
  • The study selected a longstanding, previously validated survey instrument, the Intrinsic Motivation Inventory (IMI), grounded in self-determination theory.

    “we selected a longstanding, previously validated survey instrument that measures multiple facets of motivation-the Intrinsic Motivation Inventory (IMI), which is grounded in Deci and Ryan's self-determination theory (Ryan, 1982; Vallerand, 2000).”
  • Controlling positive feedback leads to less intrinsic motivation than does informational positive feedback.

    “In both studies, the control- ling feedback led to less intrinsic motivation than did the infor- mational feedback.”
  • One additional study (Ryan, 1982) was used in the supplemental meta-analysis of informational versus controlling reward administrations.

    “One additional study (Ryan, 1982) was also used in the supplemental meta-analysis of informational versus controlling reward administrations.”
  • For Ryan (1982), we included this study only in the supplemental meta-analysis of informational versus controlling verbal rewards, but C & P excluded it.

    “We included this study only in the supplemental meta-analysis of informational versus controlling verbal rewards. C & P excluded it.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
