12 Questions
What is self-determination theory?
Self-determination theory posits that people are inherently motivated to internalize the regulation of uninteresting but important activities.
What are the two types of internalization?
The two types of internalization are introjection and integration.
How does the social context influence internalization?
The social context influences which internalization process and regulatory style occur.
What are the facilitating contextual factors for internalization?
Facilitating contextual factors for internalization include providing a meaningful rationale, acknowledging the behaver's feelings, and conveying choice.
What is autonomy support?
Autonomy support is important for promoting internalization and self-determination.
What does the absence of facilitating factors represent?
The absence of facilitating factors represents nonsupport for self-determination.
What are the three critical, social/contextual facilitating factors that support self-determination?
The three critical, social/contextual facilitating factors that support self-determination are a meaningful rationale, an acknowledgment of conflicting feelings, and a style that minimizes pressure and conveys choice.
What happens when internalization occurs in contexts that support self-determination?
When internalization occurs in contexts that support self-determination, the regulations will be integrated.
What happens when internalization occurs in contexts that do not support self-determination?
When internalization occurs in contexts that do not support self-determination, the regulations will merely be introjected.
What is the association between self-determined regulation and controlling regulation?
Self-determined regulation is associated with more positive attributes than controlling regulation.
What is the importance of acknowledging conflicting feelings?
Acknowledging conflicting feelings is one of the three critical, social/contextual facilitating factors that support self-determination.
What is the importance of conveying choice?
Conveying choice is one of the three critical, social/contextual facilitating factors that support self-determination.
Study Notes
Self-determination theory posits that people are inherently motivated to internalize the regulation of uninteresting but important activities, and there are two types of internalization: introjection and integration. The social context influences which internalization process and regulatory style occur. Facilitating contextual factors such as providing a meaningful rationale, acknowledging the behaver's feelings, and conveying choice promote internalization. Autonomy support is important for promoting internalization and self-determination. The absence of these factors represents nonsupport for self-determination. The combination of a meaningful rationale, an acknowledgment of conflicting feelings, and a style that minimizes pressure and conveys choice are the three critical, social/contextual facilitating factors that support self-determination. When internalization occurs in contexts that support self-determination, the regulations will be integrated. When internalization occurs in contexts that do not support self-determination, the regulations will merely be introjected. Self-determined regulation is associated with more positive attributes than controlling regulation.
