Self-determination – autonomous and controlled forms of motivation

Summary/Abstract: The self-determination theory is one of the most widely applied contemporary theories of motivation, personality development, and well-being. Composed by different mini theories, and empirical studies encompassing variety of topics, it is becoming ever more elaborated in the recent years. In this article, we have selected and integrated those topics that are relevant to the motivational domain to provide an empirically supported framework for understanding human behavior. We discuss different factors that can promote autonomous behaviors. It would interest researchers who work in human motivation through the identification of different mechanisms underlying human behavior.
