Figure 1.
The diagram presents categories of motivation arranged from amotivation to extrinsic motivation and intrinsic motivation. Under regulatory style the extrinsic motivation category includes external regulation, introjection, identification, and integration. An arrow labelled internalization extends across these regulatory styles. The attributes section lists lack of perceived competence, lack of value, or nonrelevance under amotivation. External regulation includes external rewards or punishments, compliance, and reactance. Introjection includes ego involvement and focus on approval from self and others. Identification includes personal importance, conscious valuing of activity, and self endorsement of goals. Integration includes congruence and synthesis and consistency of identifications. Intrinsic motivation includes interest, enjoyment, and inherent satisfaction. The perceived locus of causality row lists impersonal for amotivation, external for external regulation, somewhat external for introjection, somewhat internal for identification, internal for integration, and internal for intrinsic motivation.Self-determination theory’s taxonomy of motivation
