Self-Determination Theory: Intrinsic Motivation and Behavioral Change
Oncol Nurs Forum.
.
Abstract
Motivation is a central concept in behavioral change. This article reviews the self-determination theory with an emphasis on "intrinsic motivation," which is facilitated when three basic psychological needs (autonomy, competence, and relatedness) are met. Intrinsic motivation is associated with improved well-being and sustained behavioral change.
Keywords: intrinsic motivation; motivation; self-determination; theory.
