a. openness to experience
b. creativity
c. sense of freedom
d. existential living

d. existential living

do not need to defend ourselves aware of our own characteristics and more flexible altering them.
What am I?

openness to experience

What am I?
behaviours based on feeling rather intellect, in touch with innermost feelings, spontaneous/ impulsive ( not by the expense of others)

trust in ones organisms

What are the hierarchy of needs?

Physiological needs
Safety
belongingness
esteem
self-actualization

Who studied persona causation and what is it?

Decharms
it's the force that pushes us to act on our need producing a change in environment (if we are hungry we go get food to fulfil that need)

True of false?
Origins are perceived behaviours that are influenced by external forces while Pawns are perceived behaviours that are influenced by their own internal chosen choices

False...
origins are perceived behaviours that are influenced by internal forces
pawns are perceived behaviours that are influenced by external forces

What am I?
the three basic needs that all humans try to satisfy
Competence, relatedness, autonomy

Self-determined theory

True or False; self determination theory is innate?

true all of these things we strive for is learned

What behaviours do organisms display when major needs are absent? What are these behaviours called?

Exploratory, curiosity and manipulatory
Intrinsically rewarding

Who stats: "behaviour may be rewarding in and of itself and not the reinforcement associated with the task." (intrinsic and extrinsic motivation)
a. Berlyne
b. Maslow
c. Staw
d. Rogers

c. Staw

Staw intrinsic motivation is?

value (self-actualization) or pleasure associated with an activity

Staw: extrinsic motivation is...?

external goals (the arousal or pleasure from the activity)

What are the combination effects of Intrinsic and Extrinsic?
hint: act antagonistically

- if there is too much reward for an activity the activity is justified
- if there is to little reward the activity itself is re-evaluated

who's studies showed this and what does that mean for extrinsic?

too much or too little rewards act to influence evaluation of an activity can be from the onset called boring. When reward is low the acts re-evaluated as "interesting"

Festinger and Carlsmith
Extrinsic motivation decreases, intrinsic motivation increase

When adding reward to an intrinsically rewarding task it reduces the value f the task b/v one knows why one is doing it
So does the task have to be boring or interesting to cause this?

The task MUST BE interesting to do so

What am I?
openness to experience, existential living, trust in one's organism, sense of freedom, creativity

Carl Rogers idea of a fully functioning person

define sense of freedom.

personal power to determine what their future will be. They have control over their lives rather than the mercy of chance.

when is creativity increased

when their able to adapt to change

What was White's point of view on Competence motivation?

the ability to master the environment and is also called effectance motivation

Define all three basic we strive to satisfy
competence, relatedness, autonomy

Competence: need to have control over the environment
Relatedness: need to belong
Autonomy: freedom in experiencing things our self

What was Berlyne point of view of intrinsic motivated?

value associated with performing a particular activity. Behaviours are not determined by drive reduction. Instead to resolve incongruity and explore novelty

What am I?
small amounts of difference betweens ones experience and new info motivates and to master to resolve (blank)

incongruity

Optimal level of incongruity serves to motivate
1. ?
2. ?

1. too much is too difficult
2. to little is known and not challenging

What theory am I and by who?
If external reward is added to the behaviour that is intrinsically motivated we attribute our behaviour to it, devaluing the intrinsic reasons. We search for explanations of our behaviour

Lepper
Self Perception theory

Intrinsic motivation arises out of need to control environment and feel competent in that control. Thus there is an intrinsic need to control and this leads to behaviour thats controlling the makes us feel competence.
What theory and by who?

Derci's theory of intrinsic motivation

What are the three types of rewards? explain them

Extrinsic reward: object or situation that satisfies expectation
Intrinsic reward: involves the feeling of competence that I can control by completing a task
Affective reward: positive emotional experience gained when goal is reached

Perceived lack of control has demotivating effect, while perceived control has motivation effect.
True or false?

True

What am I?
Our feelings towards ourself

Positive regard/ Positive self-regard

True or False?
Unconditional positive regard is a person who doesn't accepts and loves someone regardless of their behaviour.

False
Unconditional positive regard is a person who accepts and loves someone regardless of their behaviour
