Intrinsic Versus Extrinsic Goal Contents in Self-Determination Theory: Another Look at the Quality of Academic Motivation
Abstract
Examination of motivational dynamics in academic contexts within self-determination theory has centered primarily around both the motives (initially intrinsic vs. extrinsic, later autonomous vs. controlled) that regulate learners' study behavior and the contexts that promote or hinder these regulations. Less attention has been paid to the goal contents (intrinsic vs. extrinsic) that learners hold and to the different goal contents that are communicated in schools to increase the perceived relevance of the learning. Recent field experiments are reviewed showing that intrinsic goal framing (relative to extrinsic goal framing and no-goal framing) produces deeper engagement in learning activities, better conceptual learning, and higher persistence at learning activities. These effects occur for both intrinsically and extrinsically oriented individuals. Results are discussed in terms of self-determination theory's concept of basic psychological needs for autonomy, competence, and relatedness.

“SDT, in contrast, suggests that higher levels of motivation do not necessarily yield more desirable outcomes if the motivation is of a poor quality (e.g., if the motivation is controlled rather than autonomous in nature; Ryan & Deci, 2000; Vansteenkiste et al., 2006).”

“SDT is based on a multidimensional view of the concept of motivation that distinguishes the quantity, amount, or intensity of motivation from the quality or type of motivation.”

“Because extrinsic rewards are so often used as instruments of social control (Luyten & Lens, 1981), they can leave people feeling like pawns to the rewards (deCharms, 1968) and thus thwart their need for autonomy ( Deci, Koestner, & Ryan, 1999 ).”

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.
