Abstract | Two generations ago, Edward L. Deci completed his dissertation by asking how different types of extrinsic reinforcements (e.g. money, praise, threats of punishment) might affect intrinsic motivation (Deci, 1972a, 1972b). The basic finding was that task-related intrinsic motivation decreased after receiving an ‘if-then’ contingent reward (money), a threat of punishment for poor performance, or negative performance feedback. Through these studies, Deci (a) introduced self determination theory’s first major phenomenon (i.e. intrinsic motivation; Deci, 1975); (b) created the first mini-theory to explain these findings (i.e. cognitive evaluation theory; Deci & Ryan, 1980); and (c) laid out a road map for how SDT would be built – namely, by resolving a specific and controversial research question, which was: ‘How do extrinsic rewards affect intrinsic motivation?’ The practical implications of this work were immediately obvious, so Deci also used SDT to (d) speak to issues of practical application.
