  • Intrinsic Motivation to Learn: the Nexus Between Psychological Health and Academic Success
    91 Intrinsic Motivation to Learn: The Nexus between Psychological Health and Academic Success John Mark Froiland, PhD, Emily Oros, PhD, Liana Smith, B.S., & Tyrell Hirchert, B.A., University of Northern Colorado Intrinsic motivation (IM) to learn, if cultivated, can lead to many academic and social/emotional improvements among K-12 students. This article discusses intrinsic motivation to learn as it relates to Self Determination Theory and the trouble with relying solely on extrinsic motivators. The academic benefits of IM in the specific subject areas of reading and mathematics are reviewed, as well as various psychological benefits (e.g., enhanced persistence, prosocial behavior and happiness). Science-based methods of fostering IM in students are considered, especially enhancing children’s environments through elevating teacher and parental autonomy support. Suggestions for integrating intrinsic motivation with behavioral interventions are also provided. KEYWORDS: Academic engagement; intrinsic motivation; elementary school students; high school students; parenting style; behavior change Teachers frequently struggle to motivate their students (Brophy, 2008; Froiland, 2010) and most students lose intrinsic motivation to learn each year as they move from first grade to high school (Lepper, Corpus & Iyengar, 2005). Intrinsic motivation to learn entails engaging in learning opportunities because they are seen as enjoyable, interesting, or relevant to meeting one’s core psychological needs (Ryan & Deci, 2000). According to self-determination theory, all people seek to satisfy three inherent psychological needs: the need for developing competence, the need for relatedness (creating meaningful connections with others), and the need for autonomy (perceiving that one is able to initiate and regulate one’s own actions).

  • Motivation, Its Types, and Its Impacts in Language Learning
    International Journal of Business and Social Science Vol. 3 No. 24 [Special Issue – December 2012] Motivation, Its Types, and Its Impacts in Language Learning Dr. Tengku Sepora Tengku Mahadi Associate Professor School of Languages, Literacies and Translation Universiti Sains Malaysia Malaysia Sepideh Moghaddas Jafari, PhD Student School of Languages, Literacies and Translation Universiti Sains Malaysia Malaysia Abstract Given the fact that teachers are now expected to be informed enough to be able to pilot their teaching towards the varying requirements of different classroom learners, this study is proposed to shed light on what it takes to have (establish and manage) an effective and successful language classroom in terms of learners motivation. This study is designed to investigate the impact of motivation in the context of language learning. To reach the aim of this study, some of the main subjects, topics, and points which can be related to the goal of article are introduced and explained. Afterwards, they are followed by a brief discussion and some beneficial implications and suggestions for the teachers and lecturers. Introduction In the recent period of education, concerning language teaching and learning a momentous transfer and change has occurred; in the sense that an enormous focus has gone towards learner and learning rather than teacher and teaching. Nowadays, indeed, it is an important target for the teachers to make their students less dependent on teachers and more autonomous on themselves (O̓ Malley and Chamot , 1995). In fact, learner self-sufficiency is corresponding to contemporary ideas about the active association and interest of learners, importance of learner- centered approaches, as well as sovereignty of learners from teachers (Littlewood, 1996).

  • 24.09F11 Handout 6: Behaviorism
    Handout 6: Behaviorism Motivation The Newcomers arrive and live among us. They are humanoid in form, although their skin is tinged with green, and their inner structure is nothing like ours. In fact -- the skin aside -- as far as outward appearances go the Newcomers are astonishingly like us. In short, they behave as we behave. At any rate -- not to beg any questions -- they move their bodies and emit sounds just as we do. There are the usual social tensions, of course. A rabble-rousing human politician raises the question: what if the Newcomers have no minds at all? What if they lack, not just conscious experience, but beliefs, desires, hopes, expectations, intentions, and the rest? If we do think they have minds, aren't we just guessing? The Leader of the Newcomers speaks: I am a Newcomer. Hath not a Newcomer eyes? Hath not a Newcomer hands, limbs, dimensions? Fed with the same food, hit with the same weapons, subject to the same irritation of our sensory surfaces, do we not behave just as humans? If you prick us, do we not cry out? If you tickle us, do we not laugh? If you ask us, do we not answer? And if you have minds, do we not also? If we are like you in the rest, we will resemble you in that. How could the politician's suggestion possibly be correct? Note that the crucial behaviorist thought isn't simply that we have excellent evidence that the Newcomers have minds. Rather, it is anyone who behaves just as the Newcomers behave is absolutely guaranteed to have a mind (cf.

Not surprisingly, change. Adolescents are frequently sent for services not a confrontational style of counseling tends to produce of their own volition, but rather by a concerned parent/ resistance in adolescents (Miller & Rollnick, 2002) who guardian or other adult. Many of the traditional feel their personal freedom is threatened; therefore, they counseling theories and approaches were developed for become defensive and use defense mechanisms such motivated adults. Additionally, research has indicated as anger, confrontation, and denial, which all may be that when most people begin counseling they are not perceived as resistance. The harder a counselor pushes, ready to take action to change (Isenhart, 1994), although the more energy an adolescent is going to exert to push the majority of counseling models are constructed for back, confirming Newton’s third law of motion: for working with clients who are ready to take action to every force there is an equal and opposite counterforce change (Prochaska, DiClemente, & Norcross, 1992).

Thus when adolescents feel Stereotypical descriptions of adolescents, such as that they are choosing to do something for their own being moody, narcissistic, resistant, and challenging, self-interest, their motivation can be intense (Lambie, and having social and interpersonal problems, are 2004).

  • Latham (2007, Work Motivation) -- Ch3, the Emergence of Theory.Pdf
    1950-1975 The Emergence of Theory Introduction Research in the early part of the 1950s did not differ appreciably from the research of the four preceding decades. Attitude surveys continued to be the primary method of data collection for 1/0 psychologists in their study of motivation. Behaviorism was at its zenith in experimen­ tal psychology with B. F. Skinner (1953) as its articulate champion. Research with animals continued to show the importance of antecedent stimuli and external consequences on behavior. Ryan and Smith (1954) argued against 1/0 psychology adopting the prevailing motivational paradigms of experimental and clinical psy­ chology. To translate worker goals into Watson's (1925) terms of stim­ uli and responses, they said, was not only useless but misleading since it implies that the laws that govern these stimuli and responses in experi­ mental laboratory paradigms are the same as those that hold for all other stimuli and responses in everyday situations. They took issue with Hull's (1928) and Spence's (1948) research on the primary drives of animals because to postulate some simple mechanism by which new activities come to be attractive to the organism make it difficult, if not impossible, they said, to demonstrate that a particular activity in the work setting arises through biological determinism. 1 As for Freud, Ryan and Smith noted wryly that his evidence that the individual is unaware of his real wish is likely due only to the fact that the individual does not 'Hull and Spence were interested in the biological determinants that activate consummatory and protective behavior.

Ernst Kris (24) I I WANT to do two main things: first, to reformulate, to explain, and, as far as is then necessary, to defend a thesis about the logical status of the discovery of the unconscious mind; and second, to point one or two morals which are implicit in this thesis. It is one salvaged from a controversy which began in the journal, Aualysis, in which it was in­ adequately and inaccurately formulated, and unfortunately entangled with various curiously misguided side issues (33, 7, 12, 28, 29, 34, 18, and 9). But for the present, without any refinements of qualification, it is simply that the kernel of Freud's discovery was this: if you are prepared so to extend such notions as motive, inteution, purpose, wish, and desire that it becomes proper to speak of motives and so forth which are not known to, and the behavior resulting from which is not under the immediate control of, the person who harbors them, then you can interpret (and even guide) far more of human behavior in terms of concepts of this sort than any sophisticated adult had previously real­ ized.

  • 1 Utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Interventions to Positively Impact
    1 Utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Interventions to Positively Impact Academic Achievement in Middle School Students Brett Zyromski Southern Illinois University Carbondale Arline Edwards Joseph North Carolina State University Utilizing Cognitive Behavioral 2 Abstract Empirical research suggests a correlation between Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) interventions and increased academic achievement of students in middle schools. An argument was presented for utilizing CBT intervention within the delivery system of comprehensive school counseling programs in middle schools; specifically in individual counseling, small group counseling, and classroom guidance lessons. Practical examples and resources were provided to assist school counselors in implementing CBT interventions to help students control cognitive thought processes and positively impact academic achievement. Utilizing Cognitive Behavioral 3 Utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Interventions to Positively Impact Academic Achievement in Middle School Students A professional school counselors’ role is to remove barriers to students’ success; enhancing students’ learning environments and supporting students’ academic achievement (American School Counseling Association, 2005). The American School Counseling Association (ASCA) (2005) recommends school counselors implement a comprehensive school counseling program that “leads to increased student(s) achievement” (p. 11) and “supports the school’s academic mission” (p. 15) by calling attention “to situations within the schools that defeat,

The project has been supervised by Pilleriin Sikka. 120520 I hereby certify that all material in this final year project which is not my own work has been identified and that no work is included for which a degree has already been conferred on me. Signature: ___________________________________________ Intrinsic Motivation 3 Abstract The aim of this essay is to give an overview of the topic of intrinsic motivation based on psychological and neuroimaging research. More specifically, the objective is to give an overview of the various benefits of intrinsic motivation, discuss its relationship to extrinsic rewards, and review the existing neuroimaging research that has explicitly explored intrinsic motivation. A positive relationship between intrinsic motivation and persistence, conceptual learning, creativity and both hedonic as well as eudaimonic well-being has been demonstrated. A wealth of studies has shown that extrinsic rewards undermine intrinsic motivation, while the validity of these findings has been debated. Initial neuroimaging studies concerning the neural basis of intrinsic motivation have been conducted, showing unique activations in the intrinsic motivation conditions in e.g. the anterior precuneus and the right insular cortex. Conceptual and methodological problems have been discussed, and it is suggested that the neuroscientific findings mentioned above can be interpreted in terms of the neural distinction between wanting and liking, rather than in terms of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, and that psychological research can draw on neuroscientific findings in order to make its research more precise.

  • The Historical Context of Motivation and Analysis Theories Individual Motivation
    International Journal of Humanities and Social Science Vol. 3 No. 18; October 2013 The Historical Context of Motivation and Analysis Theories Individual Motivation Behnaz Pakdel PhD Student Baku State University Azerbaijan Abstract The concept of motivation is always considered in human societies especially for researchers and experts of education. Especially, in recent decades, many theorists and researchers in Educational Psychology have been put validity and particular role for motivational and psychological patterns on educational behaviors. So, at this article, we explain historical process of concept of motivation; compare it to goal and then providing the process of social, psychological and educational motivations as a classification of motivations for to analyze the correctness of the theories about individual motivations. Keywords: Motivation, Goal, Cognitive guidelines, Individual motivations. Introduction Motivation is an intrinsic phenomenon that is affected by four factors: Situation (environment and external stimulus), Temperament (state and organism internal state), Goal (purpose of behavior and attitude) and Tool (tools to reach the target). People are motivated for achieving to the goals, necessities and instincts. Academic achievement has a special importance for seekers of science and students. With this motivation, people are motivated enough for successful completion of a task, gaining to a goal or access to a certain degree from competence in their job until they gain enough success in learning and academic achievement (13: p66). Hence, can be said motivation shows reasons for their behaviors and indicate why they act in a certain way. Motivated behavior is an energetic, oriented and continued behavior (15: p45). From educational point of view, motivation is a polyhedral structure which is associated with learning and academic achievement (13: p67).

  • Client Motivation and Engagement in Transdiagnostic Group Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Anxiety Disorders: Predictors and Outcomes
    Cognitive Therapy and Research (2019) 43:819–833 https://doi.org/10.1007/s10608-019-10014-1 ORIGINAL ARTICLE Client Motivation and Engagement in Transdiagnostic Group Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Anxiety Disorders: Predictors and Outcomes Isabella Marker1 · Chloe A. Salvaris1 · Emma M. Thompson1 · Thomas Tolliday1 · Peter J. Norton1,2 Published online: 22 February 2019 © Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature 2019 Abstract Client motivation is regarded as a key factor in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) for anxiety disorders. To date, client motivation has only been measured during individual-CBT, with little known about the predictive capacity of motivation in group settings. The current study aimed to explore the role of client motivation in group-CBT. Measuring motivation dur- ing individual-CBT has proven somewhat difficult with many self-report measures providing weak and inconsistent results. For this reason observational measures of motivation, such as rating client change (CT) language during CBT, have been trialled with some success. The current study aimed to measure motivation using an observational coding system of CT and counter change talk (CCT) during two components of group CBT: cognitive restructuring and exposure sessions. The study explored the predictive capacity of CT and CCT in determining treatment outcomes, and baseline characteristics that predicted in session CT and CCT. Results indicated that CT and CCT predicted different treatment outcomes depending on the stage of therapy. CT and CCT predicted symptom severity at post-treatment and slope of improvement in cognitive restructuring sessions. During exposure sessions only CCT was predictive of poorer treatment outcomes but CT determined client attendance and treatment drop out.

  • Motivation & Emotion
    General Psychology Notes - Motivation & Emotion These are general notes designed to assist students who are regularly attending class and reading assigned material: they are supplemental rather than exhaustive and reflect general concepts. I. Motivation - the influences that account for the initiation, direction, intensity, and persistence of behavior. A. Sources of Motivation 1. Biological factors - food, water, sex, and temperature regulation 2. Emotional factors - panic, fear, anger, love, and hatred 3. Cognitive factors - perceptions, beliefs, and expectations 4. Social factors - parents, teachers, siblings, friends, and media B. Theories of Motivation 1. Instinct Theory - innate biological instincts guide behavior * instinct - a complete pattern of behavior that occurs without learning in every member of the species (Fixed Action Patterns). 2. Drive Reduction Theory - behavior is guided by biological needs and learned ways of reducing drives arising from those needs. * homeostasis - physiological systems kept in balance (equilibrium) by making adjustments in response to change. * 2 drives - primary (biological needs) secondary (learned) 3. Arousal - people seek to maintain an optimal level of physiological arousal, which differs from person to person. Maximum performance occurs at optimal arousal levels. * increase arousal when it is too low ( seek excitement when bored) General Psychology Note – Motivation & Emotion Page 1 * decrease when it is too high (relaxation when over-stimulated) 4. Incentive - behavior guided by the lure of rewards and the threat of punishment. Cognitive factors influence expectations of the value of various rewards and the likelihood of attaining them. 5. Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs - human behavior influenced by needs or motives that can be ranked. Needs at a lower level must be partially satisfied before people can be motivated by higher-level goals * deficiency needs * meta-needs (growth) II.
