Amotivation:
Controlled extrinsic motivation:
- Extrinsic regulation
- Introjected regulation
Autonomous extrinsic motivation:
- Identified regulation
- Integrated regulation
Intrinsic motivation:
Amotivation:
- a complete lack of desire to participate in the activity
2 types of Controlled extrinsic motivation and what they are
- Extrinsic regulation
- refers to behavior that is driven by external forces rather than our own desire
- Introjected regulation
- at this level we participate because we feel that we should to avoid disapproval or feelings of guilt
2 types of Autonomous extrinsic motivation and what they are

- Integrated regulation
- we participate because we feel the activity is a key part of ourselves.
Intrinsic motivation:
- where participation in the activity is for pure enjoyment and pleasure
6 Mini Theories of SDT
- cognitive evaluation theory
- organismic integration theory
- causality orientations theory
- basic psychological needs theory
- goal contents theory
- relationships motivation theory
Organismic integration theory:
- focuses on the four types of extrinsic motivation that differ in the degree to which they are autonomous or controlled
Cognitive evaluation theory: (5)
- Focuses on intrinsic motivation doing activities because they are interesting and enjoyable
- External events can affect intrinsic motivation in three ways
- Social environment provides information.
- Controlling events such as rewards
- Amotivating events such as negative performance feedback
Causality orientations theory: (4)
- concerned with the extent to which people are exposed to three types of environments:
- autonomy-supportive
- controlling
- amotivating environments.
Basic psychological needs theory:
- assumes there are three basic psychological needs (autonomy, competence and relatedness) that are required to achieve intrinsic motivation
Goal contents theory:
- distinguishes between intrinsic and extrinsic goals to explain their role in satisfying basic needs for well-being and sport performance.
Relationships motivation theory:
