- Amotivation: Refers to a state of lacking any motivation to engage in activities.
Theories of Self-Determination
- Self-Determination Theory: A comprehensive framework focusing on human motivation, personality growth, and well-being, emphasizing self-driven behaviors influenced by societal and cultural factors.
- Basic Psychological Needs: According to self-determination theory, autonomy, competence, and relatedness are essential for effective human functioning across different cultures and developmental stages.
Factors Affecting Motivation
- Cognitive Evaluation Theory: Investigates how social environments and interpersonal dynamics can enhance or diminish intrinsic motivation.
- Causality Orientations Theory: Describes how personal differences shape behavior regulation in response to the environment.
- Locus of Causality: Represents the perceived source of an individual’s behaviors, influencing motivation types.
Psychological Needs

Regulation Types
- External Regulation: Compliance driven by external demands or pressures, such as parental or coach expectations.

- Identified Regulation: Occurs when an individual recognizes the value of an activity, viewing it as a necessary means to achieving personal goals.
Implications of Motivation
- Extrinsic Motivation in Sports: Sports are often characterized by a high presence of extrinsic motivators, which may influence athletes' intrinsic motivation in both positive and negative ways.
- Negative Effects of Extrinsic Reinforcement: Reliance on extrinsic rewards can lead to a decrease in intrinsic motivation.
