Introjected Motivation Recap

Refers to taking in a regulation or reasoning but not accepting it as ones own The medicine has been taken but not digested Typified by language such as
You should One ought I must

Identified Regulation
You should becomes I want to because The medicine has been digested Accepting the value of the behaviour as personally important Perceived as being chosen by the individual It typically takes the form of I want

Continuum of Motivation

Group Task
What types if integrated motivation have you experienced? What are some examples of desirable goals or classifications? How can we facilitate this regulation in people?

Identified Regulation
Behaviour is internally regulated in a self-determined manner In this respect it is classified as intrinsic motivation BUT Theoretically conceptualised as extrinsic motivation because the behaviour that occurs as a result of the identified reason is not performed for itself but as a means to an end
Training to improve sporting performance Exercising to improve health Joining a gym to lose weight Studying to get a degree

Integrated Regulation
Integrating the identified reason with other aspects of ones self Occurs through self-examination and bringing new regulations into congruence with ones other values and needs External and introjected regulation are considered relatively controlled forms of extrinsic motivation Identified and integrated regulation are considered relatively autonomous As internalisation of these reasons for behaviour progresses
the more extrinsically motivated actions become selfdetermined actions

Integrated Regulation
Doing an activity because it is seen as part of the self
Helps define the self as an exerciser

Shares many qualities with intrinsic motivation

Being both autonomous and unconflicted

BUT The behaviour is still not yet performed for the sake of doing it It is done in order to classify oneself according to a desirable goal Behaviour is done for its presume value with respect to a separate outcome

Group Task
Can you think of any examples of this process occurring in you? Where did you start? Where are you now? Can it work backwards? How can we facilitate/maintain this regulation in people?

Tools for Change

Review of the tools we can use to facilitate Motivational change Amotivated to external
Rewards (appropriate)

External to introjected
Consequences to self and others

Introjected to identified
Provision of information/goal setting or re-setting

Identified to integrated
More information/personification

Scale of Internalisation
Weak internalisation of extrinsic control
Introjected
Someone I love/respect says I should, have to, must (coercion)
Pressure guilt, anxiety, embarrassment, conscience

Identified
Someone I love/respect says it is important because
Acceptance norms, obligations

Integrated
Many identifications integrated together as values
Internalisation I am an exerciser

Strong internalisation of extrinsic control
