2000 Motivation is not a single construct – many ways people can be motivated
Amotivation – no intrinsic or extrinsic motivation
Self- External regulation -extrinsic behaviours that are the least autonomous
determination Introjected regulation – taking in a regulation but not accepting it as ones own
theory and the Identified regulation – extrinsic still but conscious valuing of regulation/ goal
facilitation of Integrated regulation – most autonomous form of extrinsic – identified regulations are fully assimilated to the self – still done to obtain separable
intrinsic outcomes – not purely for the act // inherent enjoyment
motivation Intrinsic regulation – doing an activity for the inherent satisfaction of the activity
