- Motivation
- "Human beings want to satisfy their needs for competence, autonomy and social relatedness. Intrinsic motivation can be enhanced by creating environments that boost these three needs (Biddle, Mutrie & Gorely, 2015, pp. 212).
- Motivation
refers to the direction (choice), intensity and persistence of one’s behaviour
(Biddle, Mutrie & Gorely).
- 'Persistence' suggests that sustained behaviour requires motivation to be maintained.
- ‘Direction’ suggests there is a choice in one’s physical activity behaviour (e.g. I choose to be active this week because…)
- 'Intensity' suggests that involvement in a behaviour can vary in strength.
- Intrinsic Motivation
- “ doing of an activity for its inherent satisfactions rather than for some separable consequences”
- Extrinsic Motivation
- “ a construct that pertains whenever an activity is done in order to attain some separable outcome.”
- Edward Deci & Richard Ryan (1985, 1991)
