Listen "Self Determination Theory"
Episode Synopsis
We cover Self-Determination Theory (SDT) and its applications in various contexts. One study investigates SDT's role in understanding work motivation, contrasting autonomous and controlled motivation and examining the impact of reward systems on intrinsic motivation and performance. Another study uses SDT to profile shopper types in a retail setting based on their perceptions of mall attributes and basic psychological needs. A third study applies SDT to examine the health and wellbeing of university students, comparing music and sports students to other students, focusing on the role of personality traits and need satisfaction. A final study investigates how SDT explains the internalisation of unhealthy eating habits.
