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.
