	Intrinsic motivation & Extrinsic Motivation - Wheatgrass Juice Forum
		Intrinsic motivation has been intensely studied by educational psychologists since the 1970s, and numerous studies have found it to be associated with high educational achievement and enjoyment by students.
		Since by definition intrinsic motivation does not rely on financial incentives, it is cheap in terms of dollars but expensive in the fact that the inherent rewards of the activity must be internalized before they can be experienced as intrinsically motivating.
		For instance, additional extrinsic motivation is known to have a negative impact on intrinsic motivation in many cases, perceived injustice in awarding such external incentives even more so.

	Motivation - Intrinsic & Extrinsic (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		Intrinsic motivation is by far the better of the two because it motivates people to achieve goals from within themselves, not because of a prize they want or a punishment they want to avoid.
		Extrinsic motivation, whether it be in the form of threats or bribes, do not work as well as intrinsic, but they get the job done, which is why most people use extrinsic strategies in life.
		On the other hand, most people face extrinsic motivation with loopholes to the guidelines of the task- they want to do the least amount of work possible and still achieve their goal- whether it be gaining a reward or avoiding a threat.

	Achievement Motivation (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		Achievement motivation is the tendency to strive for success and to choose goal oriented success/failure activities.
		According to research on the two types of motivation, we are more apt to persevere, work harder, and produce higher quality work when motivation for a task is intrinsic rather than extrinsic.
		Educational psychologists call this "extrinsic motivation." Extrinsic motivation has been used in some schools for years, although there is evidence to show that far from encouraging learning, it actually undermines it.

	Motivation (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		Extrinsic motivation is the desire to engage in an activity as a means to an end.
		Those who are extrinsically motivated work on tasks simply because they believe that their participation in the task will result in some desirable outcome.
		This does not mean that we should completely disregard extrinsic motivators, as some students are highly motivated to learn for intrinsic reasons but still like to rise to the challenge of an exam to score well, or receive praise from an instructor (Lowman, 1990).

	Intrinsic motivation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It was previously thought that the two types of motivation (intrinsic and extrinsic) were additive, and could be combined to produce the highest level of motivation.
		Intrinsic motivation has been intensely studied by educational psychologists since the 1970s, and numerous studies have found it to be associated with high educational achievement and enjoyment by students.
		Since by definition intrinsic motivation does not rely on financial incentives, it is cheap in terms of dollars but expensive in the fact that the inherent rewards of the activity must be internalized before they can be experienced as intrinsically motivating.

	Intrinsic/Extrinsic Motivation: The Phony Controversy - Management Portal
		The concepts of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation are cardinal concepts in social and humanistic psychology, and represent distinctive mental processes that interact in specific ways that can in turn be observed through observation of individuals in work, school, and other institutionalized settings.
		Various academic viewpoints posit how intrinsic and extrinsic motivation add to one another or disrupt one another, yet there is still no consensus as to how these motivational events interact, or for that matter what they are.
		The metaphorical identification of the facts of human motivation (and presumably, human happiness) with the attainment of mental or physical objects as represented by intrinsic and extrinsic motivators is an overarching premise that has encompassed nearly the whole of western philosophy since the days of the Greeks.

	Extrinsic rewards and intrinsic motivation
		Conversely, students who are extrinsically motivated are concerned mainly with their grades and often adopt a more passive processing approach (Garcia and Pintrich, 1992; Graham and Golan, 1991; Meece et al., 1988; Nolan, 1988; Pintrich and: de Groot, 1990; Williams, Schullo, Lane, and Valentine, 1992).
		Behaviour in a means-ends sequence that is rewarded extrinsically will not be experienced as reducing the person to a pawn, to the extent that at the same time it is rewarding within the person’s own understanding of who they are and where they are heading as an integrated responsible agent.
		In the same way that intrinsically motivated behaviour at the task or micro level functions to resolve conflicts and gaps through the achievement of a newly integrated cognitive map in that limited domain, the processes of integration at the level of the whole personality will tend to resolve conflicts and gaps at the macro level.

		An intrinsically motivating environment occurs when an employee is able to excel using motivators found in the work environment.
		Intrinsic motivation occurs when one is passionate about a task and performs it for the sheer pleasure of it.
		Extrinsic motivation occurs when one performs a task because some force, either external to the individual (money, rewards, punishment) or internal to the person (a value or a belief that impacts an individual’s sense of self-worth) drives that individual to perform.

	Intrinsic motivation doesn't exist, researcher says
		Psycholgists say intrinsic motivations are those that arise from within — doing something because you want to — while extrinsic motivations mean people are seeking a reward, such as money, a good grade in class, or a trophy at a sporting event.
		One common definition, for example, is that intrinsic motivation is that which is inherently pleasurable, while extrinsic motivation is not.
		Another way of defining intrinsic motivation is the means-end definition, which says intrinsic motivation is doing what we want, whereas extrinsic motivation is doing something to get something else.

	Chapter 10: Motivation
		Motivation, in the most general sense of the term, is an attempt to explain why behavior occurs (e.g., why people do what they do).
		Research on the relationship(s) between motivation and learning, in general, suggests that for each person and task, there is an optimum level of motivation that supports optimum performance; if the motivation is too high or too low, performance suffers.
		This is a stochastic model that attempts to predict the strength/direction of motivation based on (a) the person's perception of how likely they are to be successful in a task and (b) the importance of successfully achieving the task to the person.

		The belief is that the presence of powerful extrinsic motivators can actually reduce a person's intrinsic motivation, particularly if the extrinsic motivators are perceived by the person to be controlled by people.
		Equity theory says that it is not the actual reward that motivates, but the perception, and the perception is based not on the reward in isolation, but in comparison with the efforts that went into getting it, and the rewards and efforts of others.
		In other words, people's motivation results from a ratio of ratios: a person compares the ratio of reward to effort with the comparable ratio of reward to effort that they think others are getting.

		The metaphorical identification of the facts of human motivation (and presumably, human happiness) with the attainment of mental or physical objects as represented by intrinsic and extrinsic motivators is an overarching premise that has encompassed nearly the whole of western philosophy since the days of the Greeks.
		The concept of reinforcement as reflected in the activity of dopamine neurons represents a particular challenge to the canonical metaphorical representation of a reinforcer or reward as a discrete event that controls or motivates behavior as the consequence of a fixed response pattern or contingency.
		As was previously stated, in contrast to the implicit view that an extrinsic reward is an indivisible event, a discrepancy theory of reward holds that the prediction error signified by 'extrinsic' or objectified reinforcing events is not integral to or fixed by objects, but is dependent upon individual discriminative contexts and histories.

		I suspect they would be motivated by this fame and glory to some extent, but I doubt that they would attribute their interest solely to receiving the fame and glory.
		The authors explore the idea that people are intrinsically motivated to perform certain activities, and that the addition of extrinsic rewards as a motivator serves to undermine the interest in completing the activity.
		Extrinsic rewards -- such as being thanked, affirmed, having your work recognized or improved -- detract (or distract) from the intrinsic motivation that contributors bring to the wiki.

		Although the authors implicitly acknowledged that intrinsic motivation is important for learning and adjustment in educational settings, they nonetheless stated that "teachers have no reason to resist implementing incentive systems in the classroom" (p.
		The finding that expected, tangible rewards undermine intrinsic motivation was initially very controversial, but during the 30 years that the evidence has mounted confirming the finding, most psychologist have accepted it as an important phenomenon.
		This contingency, which is perhaps the one most often used in life, seems to be the one that is most detrimental to the motivation, performance, and well-being of the individuals subjected to it.

		Motivation, the drive that causes a person to do something, is necessary for learning to occur.
		In the context of school, extrinsic motivation such as grades or awards are not inherent to the material actually being learned.
		Research suggests that, for learning, intrinsic motivation is more powerful than extrinsic motivation, but extrinsic incentives might sometimes behelpful with those for whom motivation to read is not inherent (Lepper, 1983).

		Thus, part of the purpose of implementing almost any extrinsic motivator is to control another person's behavior-that is, to increase some desirable behavior or to decrease some undesirable behavior.
		When an extrinsic event is presented in a relatively controlling way, it effectively undermines intrinsic motivation (via its effects on self-determination) and promotes extrinsic motivation.
		When an extrinsic event is presented in a relatively informational way, it effectively increases intrinsic motivation (via its effect on competence) rather than extrinsic motivation.

	INTRINSIC MOTIVATION HANDBOOK
		Extrinsic motivation is when a task is done for external reasons such as money, recognition, avoiding punishment, earning a grade or possibly competition.
		Motivation techniques based on external rewards are short-term fixes and can lead to employee resentment; the employee may begin to feel manipulated and feel as if they are being lead around by a leash (Nelson 1994).
		The person that is intrinsically a distinction of the effects of motivations when he explained, “extrinsically motivated persons often feel like pawns of authority or proffered rewards, but intrinsically motivated persons feel like origins who behave out of freedom and self investment” (Amabile, Hill, Hennessey, and Tighe 1994).

	Affect in Language Learning: Motivation
		Motivation is a desire to achieve a goal, combined with the energy to work towards that goal.
		It is believed to undermine intrinsic motivation; individuals will often lose their intrinsic interest in a task if the task is seen as a means to an end.
		The Gardnerian theory of SLA motivation is based on the definition of motivation as "the extent to which the individual works or strives to learn the language because of a desire to do so and the satisfaction experienced in this activity" (Gardner, 1985).

		I had thought that such a method of trying to increase students’ motivation would be more effective in a middle school setting rather than in a high school setting since the middle school students would not have a notion that such a system was too childish for them.

	Intrinsic Motivation Doesn't Exist, Researcher Says
		Even in the case of highly evolved organic systems such as humans with their advanced cognitive processing capacities, the expression of their DSI is not just an intrinsic, purely endogenous process in any phase of cognitive processing - there is no such thing as non-exogenously entangled cognitive processing.
		Motivation is indismissibly an aspect of intentionality and contains hybridised components of DSI, ORI and DEI.
		It would appear to me that the concepts of alleged intrinsic and extrinsic motivation are a simplistically false approximation, its perceived underlying dynamics more accurately seen in terms of first-instance probability expression of eigentype characteristics, and their modulation by non-self environmental pressures.

	Motivation: Some General Theories and Classroom Strategies and Practices
		AB: Motivation is the ultimate product of many aspects of the school experience: significant relationships between teachers and students and among students; a meaningful, well-taught curriculum; teachers who maintain high expectations and look for ways to help each student connect to the curriculum; and opportunities for choice and self-evaluation that foster students' ownership of learning.
		The problem of lack of achievement motivation and lack of student concern about academic growth was documented by means of spring staffing for special needs students, report cards, anecdotal records from prior teachers, teacher surveys and observations, records of homework completion, student and parent surveys, and teachers' gradebooks.
		AB: Twenty papers on motivating college students are grouped into four sections: (1) the impact of teaching on student motivation; (2) motivating diverse students; (3) the impact of university practices on motivation; and (4) the impact of assessment on motivation.

	CET Research
		The purpose of this study was to extend prior research by developing an inventory to measure four established motivation factors and to introduce two new extrinsic motivation factors (fear of failure and need for power).
		The Academic Intrinsic Motivation (AIM) Inventory was developed by synthesizing past research on intrinsic and extrinsic motivation to create six subscales related to academic motivation.
		When compared to the Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ--an existing inventory) the total AIM Inventory score was found to be (a) positively correlated to the total MSLQ intrinsic motivation score, (b) negatively correlated to the total MSLQ extrinsic motivation score, and (c) not significantly correlated to the MSLQ metacognition score.
