effect of feedback and motivational orientations on intrinsic motivations
abstract
the purpose of the study was to investigate how dispositional motivational
orientations effect the perception of external rewards and the resulting effect on
intrinsic motivation. intrinsic motivation was assessed with the intrinsic motivation
inventory (imi) while motivational orientations were assessed with the task and ego
orientation in sport questionnaire (teosq). high school 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛
(n=64) enrolled in
physical education courses volunteered to participate in a study which was purported to
collect data for a new fitness test (illinois agility run). in the practice session, 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛
completed two untimed practice runs and the teosq (ouda & nicholls, 1992)
combined with a modified, task specific version of the imi (mcauley, duncan, &
tammen, 1989). approximately two weeks later, in the actual session, 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛
completed the runs again. in this session 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛
thought they were being timed by a
computer, but in reality the computer was programmed to generate false feedback
respective to the randomly assigned treatment condition (positive, negative, or no
feedback). the imi was administered again after the for real runs were completed.
motivational orientations were discarded as a factor due to measurement difficulties. a
3 x 2 (feedback by time) an ova was used to investigate the effect of feedback on
intrinsic motivation. negative feedback significantly decreased levels of intrinsic
motivation from pre- to post-testing. the three imi subscales specifically affected were
interest/enjoyment, perceived competence, and effort/importance. contradictory to
other studies, positive feedback did not significantly increase levels of intrinsic
motivation.
