Cognitive evaluation theory proposes that informational rewards primarily
Create overjustification effects
Guarantee higher extrinsic control
Eliminate autonomy needs
Support intrinsic motivation
Which outcome can occur when rewards aim to influence motivation?

Relationships motivation theory argues that positive interpersonal interactions are
Neutral to motivation
Strictly extrinsic drivers
Essential for well-being
Unrelated to competence

Middle extrinsic regulation zone
Integrated regulation segment
Amotivation end of the continuum

Identified regulation processes
Extrinsic regulation processes
Integrated regulation processes
Intrinsic motivation processes
Which statement best describes introjected regulation shown in the diagram notes?
Participation for enjoyment and curiosity
Participation to avoid feelings such as guilt
Participation because the task feels important
Participation aligned with one’s sense of self
Which description matches identified regulation on the continuum?
Doing it entirely for external rewards
Doing it to prevent shame or guilt

Integrated regulation
Identified regulation

Extrinsic regulation
Where on the continuum would intrinsic motivation be located relative to extrinsic forms?
Equal distance from both ends
To the far right beyond amotivation
Directly in the middle of extrinsic forms
To the far left of extrinsic forms
Which statement from the introduction slide defines self-determination most directly?
The preference for competitive sports over leisure
The continuum that only includes intrinsic motivation
The level to which external motivators are not needed
The neat classification of all motives
Choose ALL statements that accurately match the continuum notes.
Intrinsic motivation is for enjoyment
Extrinsic regulation is fully driven by external forces
Integrated regulation relates activity to a sense of self
Introjected regulation seeks to avoid guilt
Amotivation is high motivation for external rewards
