According to deci: natural propensity to engage ones interest tandem exercise son capacities. Humans programmed to be curious exploratory smarting to learn and. Self drive. To do these things. Look at young, wow they are so curious. “Why daddy?” Lol
Specific definition: whenever you do an activity for its own sake, for enjoyment of doing it for its own enjoyment. K ex. Harry potter. Hunger games. Feel like kid says k , like listening to kids music!

Paradigm, standard way of spite sting PSYC principles
Easy for adults to undermine children’s intrinsic motivation. Just offer rewards. Making less salient might help but not much. Reliable generalizable. Looked at
Age: younger hildren are most impacted. 4-5 most susceptible. But find across all ages. Just to lesser and lesser degrees.
Culture: happens everywhere.
Type: of activity: has to start with an Intersting activity. And if done. No dif. All activities. Undermine int mot. Reward boring, like it more.

Informational
Controlling
Amotivating
Rewards undermine therefore
Sense of autonomy.
Enjoyment, changes for rewards
Working for rewards less enjoy and go for lowest challenge.
Less creative, less spontaneous and expressive and less positive tone. Finally we take shortcuts.
Ex. Library contest, inauthentic, did not read one book. Pathetic.
Deci crayon box. Exaggerate and cheating. Just for appearance.
Rewards are seductive, reach further channel.
What about in school other strategies,
Reward
Punishment
Negative reinforcement threats
Surveillance, deadline. Goal imposition and competition. Extrinsic seductive and cohesive motivators. Feeling more controlled.
