Hi! Faculty member here, I wrote my MA thesis with the help of Self Determination Theory as basis theory. I'd like to include a few important points for anyone who'd like to learn more. Firstly basic psychological needs derive from organismic survival behaviour as well as other sides of human beings, like their personalities, upbringings, contextual positions etc. Deci and Ryan say every human is inherently curious. To be able to maintain the fire of curiosity and life long learning, one will need intrinsic motivation. This is provided by supporting an individual's autonomy, competence and relatedness (relation was the preffered term in the video). Amotivation happens on three observed terms. If your basic psychological needs are not supported, you may feel that there is no power in you to behave in a certain way. Secondly, you might be completely uninterested about an issue and there isn't enough stimulation for you to act. Third one is more about rejecting the action itself. Deci and Ryan also found that even though money in considerably mid or big amounts might not nourish intrinsic motivation, small amounts of money or small rewards might act as intrinsic motivation stimulants. That's why computer games are so intriguing to us, they're full of small rewards! Overall, I'd like to thank you for this video. This is a theory that needs to be heard and studied more.

I'm homeschooling my four children, and they're all on different parts of this spectrum. My oldest does really well because he's curious and wants to learn everything that he can, while my other children tend to be more frustrated and reward oriented.

Seeking a change in environment helps a lot, with me at least. Working where you sleep is tough. I often rearrange my room to help combat this, but to me nothin' beats actually working away from the house.

Does our education system undermine intrinsic motivation? Few have the luxury of studying what they want just because they find in interesting. Grades are critical. Without good grades we often cannot move into our career choice. In any formal program of study, we must submit to a timeline, and we must follow the program structure.

Helping students to achieve intrinsic motivation is what teachers are endeavouring.

First year psychology student here. Working on an assignment where we're asked to identity a personal health risk behaviour and design a health treatment plan for ourselves, choosing either planned behaviour, the health belief model or SDT as a framework. In the context of reducing alcohol consumption I chose SDT as my model and this video has helped me understand it a great deal better and now I feel more confident (and COMPETENT) in completing my assignment. Not only that, I feel a greater sense of autonomy knowing that I'm on the right track now. Thank you. :)

I don’t respond to rewards, recognition, or competition. I am motivated by being a competent member of my team and succeeding in our regards. I need to be apart of a task that is truly fulfilling to be motivated day to day.

Extrinsic motivation is needed when you are not interested in the subject... on the other hand, intrinsic motivation plays a huge role when you enjoy the subject. I studied "Mathematical models for optimization" with intrinsic motivation and now I am studying "Automatic controls" just thinking about the grade... (you may notice I am watching youtube videos because the subject isn't fully capturing me).

@@gatewaypartners8018 I would love to share my thoughts. I think that first, it is important to ask ourselves what social development means to us. Prior to homeschooling I felt like school was the best place for children to develop socially, but I never stopped to actually think about why I felt that way. Because I am homeschooling which is not the norm where I live, I constantly am thinking about what my girls needs are and if I am meeting those needs. For me being able to be self-aware, regulating and recognizing emotions, being emotionally responsive and being able to interact with others effectively in social situations are all important aspects of social development. As a teacher I was never asked to reflect on my teaching to understand if I was meeting these needs. The focus is on reading, writing, and arithmetic as well as the behavior of students. The pros of homeschool are that I have time to research how to meet these needs, I am able to take the necessary time to help develop these needs without feeling a time constraint, I am able to re-create individualized social situations through play to teach healthy social norms, and we can go to everyday social places around us such as restaurants, libraries, grocery stores, parks to meet these needs. I am a bit of an introvert so I guess a con might be having to set up playdates, but even then I like to be pushed out of my comfort zone because it helps me grow. Sprout also has a video on social learning if you are interested. I hope this helps!

Thank you, nice approach! It helped me to understand my amotivation during the last 2 months - I cannot make myself do my job properly. Now I realize it’s because I don’t fully enjoy my job and I was mostly motivated by appreciation from others😢

So well put together. Thank you for this!

Well to be honest even clicking on this channel and subscribing. At first got me curious and now got me motivated to learn more. Not to out compete someone, not to benefit , or to show off. But for my own 😊 curiosity. Thanks and keep it going.

unironically better than all motivational speeches i've watched. thank you.

I agree with this video. I can see myself in different spectrums of it. Also the factors which can lead one towards 'amotivation'. This brief yet interesting video and my current "amotivated" state motivated me to comment here.

As always, nothing is simple when our toughts and feelings are on the mix - how to handle the rational ans irrational. Another great video. Gave me dood dor tought. Thanks.

We appreciate the content and the animation through which it is expressed.

There are three basic needs that drive our behavior: the need for safety, the need for belonging, and the need for significance. We all have a need to feel safe and secure, to feel like we belong, and to feel like we matter. These needs influence our behavior in everything we do, from the way we interact with others to the way we make decisions. When these needs are not met, we can feel anxious, lonely, and worthless. This can lead to all sorts of problems, both for ourselves and for those around us. But when our needs are met, we can feel happy, fulfilled, and like we're part of something bigger than ourselves.

Whether or not people that do good things for intrinsic reasons or not they should not be rewarded less than those that would dislike doing the deeds especially if it their job. Example: Teachers. They should not be paid less because teaching is public good or is admired.

What should I do? Now, I am at the stage where I do not feel like doing anything because up to now, all the things I’ve done and tried have not made any sense!!

This is very insightful! I am a teacher, so I see all these motivations on a regular basis with my students

Children often need external motivation to teach them and get them to a point that they develop the internal motivation.

@EBbaby23

I’m conflicted on this- on one hand I can see what you’re saying, but this seems almost like working against the grain, making it harder for teachers, students, and parents. I think this might be why Montessori schools and unschooling are so successful. If you have to offer external motivation, then aren’t you directing the child where you feel they should go? Is there a chance that that direction is not actually where they need to or want to go? Maybe pulling a child back and directing them to focus on reading and writing when they really want to know more about numbers undermines their ability to be successful in either subject because they suddenly see that they’re not getting a promised reward or are getting punished as promised for not following the material, but they’re not following because it’s not interesting, but to the child they don’t understand that and they end up thinking there’s something wrong with them, instead of something being wrong with the system. I understand every child is different and maybe that external motivation works in many cases, but I was one of those that struggled and fell behind and felt like I worked and worked and worked and barely got by. I thought I was just stupid. Once I got to college and could choose my area of interest, I had straight A’s (with all 3 degree programs!). I think that if you see a child struggling in one area, then find the area that they’re really interested in and find a way to combine the two areas little by little so that they’re excited to learn what they want to know and then they see that they’re still successful in the areas they care less about and that feeling of competency and autonomy drives them to want more of all areas ☺️

What a video! Congratulationss

Insightful and informative. I can relate to to all examples. It just depends on the subject. I like to know a little bit of everything. But I haven't developed a discipline in one thing. My m.o. might be more about understanding the nuance of self-discovery and self-awareness. In other words, I like gaining perspective from interesting subjects that may affirm, confirm, and or validate my own unorthodox worldviews.

Sounds similar to Kantian philosophy. He said being "autonomous" means being "free" and it's same as being "rational". It's something not related to any external factor, such as pressure from peers, parents, etc. In this video, the extrinsically motivated people are being irrational, as they so something for the sake of some external factor, not out of their own free will. Doing something for an external factor will also mean using yourself as a means to achieve that external thing. This is morally wrong. One should always treat herself(and others) as the end, not as a mean.

I guess this could help explain why I love learning on youtube instead of doing college work. Ill keep note of this later so I could find a way to better motivate myself for studying

That last story is a marvel of civic engineering. Im impressed.

When I was a teacher, we were pushed to support intrinsic motivation. Which is great! In theory. But with standardized tests, predetermined curriculum and funding based on attendance rates…it’s not going to happen. Even the best case scenario is extrinsic: students may be motivated to succeed, but not due to genuine autonomy. It will be from expectations, identity or self-improvement (all of which, once autonomy and choice ARE offered, students who were previously successful feel so lost choosing a career and so fall back on others expectations) Blame the teachers if you want, but of course kids are going to chose the device made to keep them engaged and included. Tests will make them feel stupid. So what are we truly trying to accomplish?

I would have liked more detail on getting myself to care about things at the highest level enough to get me to start something amd bring it to completion. Simply having a change of scenery or meeting people isn't quite going to do it for me because I end up back where I started when I go home.

The difference between amateur and professional musicians is the extrinsic reward that professionals need to have in order to continue being professionals

You should point out that different types of motivation can happen to people regardless of race/ethnicity depending on different circumstances - meaning people should not be confined to one of the six merely because they are commonly observed or better term, PERCEIVED by others different.

Vergil : "NOW i am motivate!"

If someone is doing something you don't like... reward them with something every time they do it, it can be something small, but it starts to link what they are doing with extrinsic motivation (which in turn lowers their intrinsic motivation). Then one day, remove that reward (extrinsic motivation) and you'll find they will also stop whatever they were doing that you don't like since... they're no longer intrinsically motivated to do it :D

@@guschong4609 no, actually the opposite is true because you associate a positive reward for an action. Logic tells you that if you remove the reward, the person will double down with their actions in an attempt to get the reward. If you want an analogy, think of a drug abuser chasing a high.

well I m totally confused in the last question of the vdo... Bt yes the vdo was really good 👍🏻

agree

I've been reading about this theory for a while,and I think a few thing might worth adding to not be misleading : - I found that the examples of the video can be a bit misleading regarding the competence "level" of each student. The theory is talking about a feeling of competency, and not a mesured level of competency. It's about an individual personal experience and perception. So the actual "level" of competency is not limited or bounded to one's motivation type (regulation), although people on the right part of the spectrum may have a good performance because of their long-lasting interest. See the subtheory of Cognitive Evaluation Theory (CET). - Also, the spectrum doesn't indicate the "impact" of motivation (= the maximum outcome one can expect with this motivation), but rather the resulting autonomy (= willingness to do the task) ranging from low to high across the spectrum. This impact longevity of the motivation in time (= for how long someone could sustain doing the task, in well-being) and the resilience of the motivation (= when faced with obstacles how many time do someone hold). Also intrinsic motivation is not the only self-determined motivation : internalisation and integration are largely autonomous and effective. The spectrum, also called continuum, comes from the subtheory of Organismic Integration Theory (OIT) - The main goal of the theory was to examine what sustain and what diminish intrinsic motivation. On that, the theory also show that all externally reguated motivation techniques (such as rewards, dealines, directives and evalutations) undermine intrinsic motivation. That's an interesting thing to understand when considering most school systems... which has been studied with this theory, since 1981. Also detailled in the subtheory of Cognitive Evaluation Theory (CET). There are many papers on this theory, if you want to read only one : "Self-Determination theory and the facilitation of intrinsic motivation, social development and weel-being", from Ryan and Deci, published in year 2000 in American Psychologist

I guess we all experience different kinds of motivations along our lives depending on what we are trying to do or what we are trying to get

We all have a desire to learn at first... But we learn what we want to learn that firs our learning style, sone learn by only doing, others by watching, others by reading and questioning, and many others are a mix... And again, its all depending on tge topic

Wow, I definitely see how many people I know are affected by this spectrom. Personally, I think that bringing balance between the intrinsic and extrinsic motivation is the right. However, we should also take into consideration individual differences that may be affected by genetics and environment.

I vary mostly in between the 3rd 4th and 5th person but i have never been the 6th one idk why?? I do good and I know i can do quite a lot better even if i be the 5th person but i can never think of a time where I studied out of curiosity especially if it is for an exam or test as you might say :)

Is there a link between being intrinsically motivated and burnout in students? I know that most university courses are designed to overface students so that they learn only what is important to get the grade they need to pass their course or achieve a high grade to get into the running for honours - but since this introduces an external form of validation does doing well at university actually undermine your autonomy?
