Unit 7 – Motivation, Emotion, and Personality
Topic 7.1
Why would self-determination theory argue against using punishment to motivate behavior change?
Because punishment increases intrinsic motivation which could produce unwanted results.
Because it argues that individuals are naturally resistant to any forms of control, including punishment.
Because it believes inherent growth tendencies and innate psychological needs should drive behaviors, not fear-based motivations.
Because punishment always leads to negative emotions which decrease overall motivation levels drastically
