A meta-analytic review of experiments examining the effects of extrinsic rewards on intrinsic motivation.
Abstract
A meta-analysis of 128 studies examined the effects of extrinsic rewards on intrinsic motivation. As predicted, engagement-contingent, completion-contingent, and performance-contingent rewards significantly undermined free-choice intrinsic motivation (d = -0.40, -0.36, and -0.28, respectively), as did all rewards, all tangible rewards, and all expected rewards. Engagement-contingent and completion-contingent rewards also significantly undermined self-reported interest (d = -0.15, and -0.17), as did all tangible rewards and all expected rewards. Positive feedback enhanced both free-choice behavior (d = 0.33) and self-reported interest (d = 0.31). Tangible rewards tended to be more detrimental for children than college students, and verbal rewards tended to be less enhancing for children than college students. The authors review 4 previous meta-analyses of this literature and detail how this study's methods, analyses, and results differed from the previous ones.

Written from the paper’s full text.
TL;DR
This meta-analysis of 128 experiments found that expected tangible rewards—especially engagement-, completion-, and performance-contingent rewards—significantly undermined free-choice intrinsic motivation, while positive feedback enhanced it. The authors argue the results strongly support cognitive evaluation theory and contradict the claim that the undermining effect is largely a myth.
Key findings
- Engagement-contingent, completion-contingent, and performance-contingent rewards significantly undermined free-choice intrinsic motivation: *d* = −0.40, −0.36, and −0.28, respectively. All rewards, all tangible rewards, and all expected rewards also significantly undermined free-choice intrinsic motivation.
- Engagement-contingent and completion-contingent rewards significantly undermined self-reported interest (*d* = −0.15 and −0.17), as did all tangible rewards and all expected rewards. Positive feedback enhanced both free-choice behavior (*d* = 0.33) and self-reported interest (*d* = 0.31).
- Unexpected tangible rewards and task-noncontingent rewards did not significantly affect intrinsic motivation. Tangible rewards tended to be more detrimental for children than college students, and verbal rewards tended to be less enhancing for children than college students.
- In supplemental analyses, tangible rewards undermined intrinsic motivation for interesting tasks (*d* = −0.68 for free-choice; *d* = −0.37 for self-report) but not for uninteresting tasks (*d* = 0.18 and 0.10, respectively).
Methods
- Hierarchical meta-analysis of 128 studies drawn from 94 published articles and 19 dissertations; 101 studies included a free-choice behavioral measure and 84 included a self-report measure of interest/enjoyment.
- Inclusion required experiments with at least one experimental and one control group, appropriate no-reward control groups, tasks at least neutral in initial interest, and intrinsic-motivation assessment after the reward contingency ended.
- Effect sizes were Cohen’s *d*, computed with DSTAT; composite effects were weighted by the reciprocal of variance, homogeneity was tested with *Qw*, and moderator analyses examined reward type, contingency, age, feedback/control-group type, and other variables.
Limitations
- The authors state that when too few studies existed for a moderator, they collapsed across important moderators, so reported effects are weaker than actual effects, particularly for the undermining of intrinsic motivation by tangible rewards.
- The authors state that delayed assessments were virtually all with children, so there is no basis for generalizing the persistence of undermining to adults; they also note that only 2 multiple-session studies met inclusion criteria, with only 9 rewarded participants combined, providing no basis for conclusions.
- The authors state that the conclusion about negative feedback plus rewards versus negative feedback alone remains tentative because few studies compared those conditions; the text also makes evident that self-report measures required imputed *d* = 0.00 in 26 of 121 cases (21%), compared with 8 of 150 free-choice cases (5%).

Rewards would not be expected to undermine intrinsic motivation for an activity that is not intrinsically motivating.
“Because rewards would not be expected to undermine intrinsic motivation for an activity that is not intrinsically motivating, most investigators predicted that initial interest would moderate the effects of rewards, with rewards undermining intrinsic motivation for interesting tasks but maintaining or enhancing intrinsic motivation for boring tasks.”

In the real world, when rewards are used to signify competence (i.e., when they are performance-contingent), there likely is a substantial portion of people who receive less than maximal rewards because they do not perform up to the specified standards.

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.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-10-12, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-10-12 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
Cited sources are checked with a language model’s help (gpt-6-sol).
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.
