动机研究的新进展:自我决定理论

作为一种新的动机理论,自我决定理论强调人类行为的自我决定程度,将动机按自我决定程度的高低视作一个连续体.其基础是有机辩证元理论,认为社会环境可以通过支持自主、胜任、关系三种基本心理需要的满足来增强人类的内部动机、促进外部动机的内化、保证人类健康成长.自我决定理论虽然具有一定的局限性,但它体现了动机研究的趋向,为众多的动机理论的整合提供了基础.

New Trend of Motivation Research: Self-determinism

As a new motivation theory,self-determinism focuses on the degree to which human behavior is self-determined and regards motivation as a continuum of self-determination.Based on organic dialectical meta-theory,self-determinism supposes that social circumstances,by meeting one's psychological needs of competence,autonomy and relatedness,can enhance internal motivation,facilitate the internalization of external motivation and ensure the healthy growth of human beings.Although self-determinism has some limitations,it represents the new trend of motivation research and provides a basis for integrating a range of motivation theories.
