概括
在挫折后提供选择实际上会损害内在动机和能力恢复. 这项研究提供了关于这种负面影响的神经科学和主观证据,突出了对动机的实际影响.
科学领域:
- 心理学 心理学 心理学
- 神经科学是一个神经科学.
- 行为科学 行为科学
背景情况:
- 自决理论 (SDT) 认为,自主性,能力和相关性对于内在动机至关重要.
- 能力挫折会对一个人的动力和愿意从事后续任务产生负面影响.
- 了解外部因素,如选择提供,如何与先前的挫折相互作用,是解释动机动态的关键.
研究的目的:
- 为了研究提供选择对内在动机的效果,在一个能力令人丧的任务之后.
- 检查神经科学基础 (使用与事件相关的潜力) 和选择后动机的主观报告.
- 确定提供选择是否有助于或阻碍挫折后恢复能力.
主要方法:
- 进行了两项研究,使用了脑电图 (EEG) 和行为自我报告措施.
- 参与者完成了一项困难的时间估计任务,引发了能力挫折,随后完成了一项中等难度的计时器任务.
- 实验组获得了对后续任务的选择,而控制组没有.
主要成果:
- 研究1中的EEG分析显示,在提供选择的组中,奖励积极性 (RewP) 差异波较小,表明内在动机降低.
- 研究2中的行为数据显示,那些被提供选择的参与者自我报告的内在动机明显较低.
- 神经科学和主观发现都表明,选择提供损害了动机和能力恢复.
结论:
- 为那些经历能力挫折的人提供选择可以悖论地降低他们在后续活动中的内在动机.
- 这些发现挑战了假设选择总是提高动机的假设,特别是当能力需求未得到满足时.
- 这项研究提供了新的神经科学和主观证据,证明了选择对丧个体的有害影响,这对设计激励环境具有重大实际意义.

One influential perspective on what motivates people's behavior is detailed in Tory Higgin's self-discrepancy theory (Higgins, 1987). He proposed that people hold disagreeing internal representations of themselves that lead to different emotional states.

Hindsight Biases

Hindsight bias leads you to believe that the event you just experienced was predictable, even though it really wasn’t. In other words, you knew all along that things would turn out the way they did. Can you relate this to the phrase "Hindsight is 20/20" now?

Cognitive Dissonance

Social psychologists have documented that feeling good about ourselves and maintaining positive self-esteem is a powerful motivator of human behavior (Tavris & Aronson, 2008). In the United States, members of the predominant culture typically think very highly of themselves and view themselves as good people who are above average on many desirable traits (Ehrlinger, Gilovich, & Ross, 2005). Often, our behavior, attitudes, and beliefs are affected when we experience a threat to our...

Self-Presentation: Self-Monitoring and Self-Handicapping
39.0K
People can go to great lengths to protect their self-image and present themselves in ways that they want others to see them. Sociologist Erving Goffman presented the idea that a person is like an actor on a stage. Calling his theory dramaturgy, Goffman believed that we use “impression management” to present ourselves to others as we hope to be perceived. Each situation is a new scene, and individuals perform different roles depending on who is present (Goffman, 1959). Think about...

Stereotype Threat and Self-fulfilling Prophecies
37.6K
When we hold a stereotype about a person, we have expectations that he or she will fulfill that stereotype. A self-fulfilling prophecy is an expectation held by a person that alters his or her behavior in a way that tends to make it true. When we hold stereotypes about a person, we tend to treat the person according to our expectations. This treatment can influence the person to act according to our stereotypic expectations, thus confirming our stereotypic beliefs. Research by Rosenthal and...
