Intrinsic motivation in a competitive setting.

R S Weinberg

    Medicine and Science in Sports
    |January 1, 1979
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Success boosts intrinsic motivation more than failure in motor tasks. Males showed higher motivation after success, while females showed higher motivation after failure, highlighting gender differences in competitive settings.

    Area of Science:

    • Psychology
    • Motor Learning
    • Sports Psychology

    Background:

    • Intrinsic motivation is crucial for sustained engagement in activities.
    • Understanding factors influencing motivation, such as feedback and gender, is key.
    • Deci's cognitive evaluation theory provides a framework for motivation research.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the impact of success-failure feedback on intrinsic motivation.
    • To examine the role of monetary reward in influencing intrinsic motivation.
    • To analyze gender differences in response to feedback and reward during a motor task.

    Main Methods:

    • Participants completed a motor task under varying conditions of success and failure.
    • Monetary reward was introduced as a variable.

  • Intrinsic motivation was measured through self-report or behavioral observation.

    • Main Results:

    • Success feedback significantly increased intrinsic motivation compared to failure feedback.
    • A significant interaction between sex and feedback was observed.
    • Males exhibited higher intrinsic motivation following success, whereas females showed higher motivation following failure.

    Conclusions:

    • Feedback valence (success vs. failure) is a critical determinant of intrinsic motivation.
    • Gender moderates the relationship between feedback and intrinsic motivation in competitive motor tasks.
    • Findings have implications for designing effective interventions in physical activity and sports to optimize motivation for both males and females.
