Intrinsic motivation is important and it can be divided in different dimensions. The Self-Determination Theory is based on intrinsic motivation. The test based on this theory was given to 14-year old students from three different schools: one where students used tablets in the science class during the 2015-16 school year, and two schools where students used textbooks and workbooks for the same subject in the classroom and at home. The test measured three dimensions of intrinsic motivation: interest and satisfaction in connection with the tasks they perform, how they perceive their competence to use the necessary tools to study and the value of the tasks they perform. The results show that students using tablets are more motivated in the three dimensions measured by the test than those using the textbook.

Intention To Continue

The purpose of this study, based on the self-determination theory (Ryan & Deci, 2000) was to test the prediction power of student's responsibility, psychological mediators, intrinsic motivation and the importance attached to physical education in the intention to continue to practice some form of physical activity and/or sport, and the possible relationships that exist between these variables. We used a sample of 482 adolescent students in physical education classes, with a mean age of 14.3 years, which were measured for responsibility, psychological mediators, sports motivation, the importance of physical education and intention to be physically active. We completed an analysis of structural equations modelling. The results showed that the responsibility positively predicted psychological mediators, and this predicted intrinsic motivation, which positively predicted the importance students attach to physical education, and this, finally, positively predicted the intention of the student to continue doing sport. Results are discussed in relation to the promotion of student's responsibility towards a greater commitment to the practice of physical exercise.

Intrinsic Motivation Inventory

Mobile Math Trails for Europe (MoMaTrE) is an ongoing project to conceptualize and develop a fully gamified platform for creating, organizing and executing mathematics trails. We present some early experimental results of an empirical study from Frankfurt am Main with 218 pupils concerning the introduction of shallow gamification techniques in the platform. The study was based on the self-determination theory and therefore the Intrinsic Motivation Inventory was used. First results are mostly in line with other findings of the previous research literature, but also some interesting effects could be shown. The article concludes with a discussion of our plans for adding other (deeper) gamification elements.

While there has been increasing research interest in the Islamic estate planning areas, few studies have yielded detailed insights into the views and factors which motivate consumer in patronising wasiyyah. The qualitative research describes in this paper aimed to explore the views of Malaysian Muslims towards wasiyyah and to identify the reason that motivate Muslims in writing wasiyyah services in Malaysia. The study was framed by using the Self-Determination Theory (SDT) approach. This enabled us to examine the factors of motivation in two ways: intrinsic motivation and extrinsic motivation. The research participants for the current study were recruited on the basis of a consumer who has made wasiyyah in any institutions in Malaysia. Data analysis was undertaken using a framework approach and was informed by SDT. Consumers’ intrinsic motivation has been identified into three items: interest, religion, and family. Meanwhile, consumers’ extrinsic motivation also come out with three items: future rewards, awareness, and financial management. All these factors are the main thing that should be focused among marketers to come out with better strategies to increase more Muslims in writing wasiyyah as well as to avoid rising inward in frozen assets. Therefore, more research is required to examine how to raise awareness of Malaysian Muslims on the importance of wasiyyah.

The article describes the implications of the self‑determination theory in non‑ ‑financial methods of motivating workers in companies. The self‑determination theory and the related research suggest that in order to develop intrinsic motivation and integrated forms of extrinsic motivation at work, the three universal needs of autonomy, competence and relatedness have to be fulfilled. The article gives examples of work organization and work situations where the needs are not satisfied, and presents the ways of communication between the managers and coworkers and work organization, which support the development of the desired forms of motivation through the three universal needs.

Studies applying the self-determination theory have shown that intrinsic motivation and autonomous regulation lead to job satisfaction and to better job performance. What has not been worked out clearly yet are the effects of extrinsic motivation and controlled regulation on affect, job performance and job satisfaction. However, it has been described that controlled regulation is often necessary for mundane tasks. In anaesthesiology, routine daily tasks can be perceived as mundane by those who have achieved a certain level of training (e.g., consultants). Therefore, it was hypothesised that consultants have high expressions of all motivational qualities. Furthermore, it was hypothesised that job satisfaction of anaesthesiologists is correlated with autonomous motivation. The hypotheses were tested in a cross-sectional study design within a group of anaesthesiologists. The study participants reported the same pattern throughout the motivational continuum. Consultants reported the highest levels of all motivational qualities, including controlled regulation, as well as the highest levels of job satisfaction. Junior residents reported high levels of amotivation and extrinsic regulation. The lowest levels of identified regulation and job satisfaction were reported by the group of attendings. Job satisfaction was positively correlated with intrinsic motivation and negatively correlated with amotivation. Therefore, our findings from the field of anaesthesiology show that the expressions of high levels of controlled regulation might be necessary for specialists to engage in mundane daily tasks. Intrinsic motivation and autonomous regulation are necessary for job satisfaction and the presence of controlled regulation and extrinsic behavioural regulation have no declining effects. Furthermore, the decrease of amotivation will lead to enhanced job satisfaction and the resulting consequences will be extensive. Junior residents need to be supported with the aim to enhance their feeling of autonomy and competence in order to decrease amotivation and to foster autonomous regulation and hence to increase job satisfaction and well-being. Further special focus should be on attendings to counteract their lacking identification with the job. Hereby, the provision of feedback and professional perspectives might foster the process of re-identification.

BACKGROUND Smartphone applications (apps) are an ideal tool that is highly accessible to people who wish to begin self-treatment for depression. While many studies have performed content analyses on healthcare apps, few studies have reviewed these apps for adherence to behavior theory. Furthermore, apps for depression management are underrepresented in healthcare research. OBJECTIVE The objective of this study is to assess mHealth depression apps using SDT as a theoretical framework for meeting needs of autonomy, competence and, relatedness METHODS All depression healthcare apps available in Australia from the iTunes and Google Play app stores that met the inclusion criteria were analyzed. Each app was reviewed based on price options, store availability, download rates, and how in-app functions met the three basic needs for motivation towards health behavior change outlined in the Self-Determination Theory (SDT). RESULTS The analysis of the apps showed that most apps were free to download (69.9%) and addressed at least one of the three needs (81.4%) of SDT. However, few apps addressed all three of the basic needs through their functions (7.7%), and no apps hosted all functions expected to stimulate motivation for health behavior change. Furthermore, neither store availability, price option nor download rate were accurate predictors that apps hosted in-app functions expected to meet the basic needs. CONCLUSIONS The results suggest that some depression healthcare apps that meet the basic needs would effectively stimulate motivation (i.e., autonomy, competence, and relatedness). However, each individual app is limited in its number of functions that meet the basic needs. People who want access to more functions would need to download a suite of apps.
