Extrinsic Reward and Intrinsic Motivation: A Review with Implications for the Classroom.

Bates, John A.

Review of Educational Research, v49 n4 p557-76 Fall 1979

The notion that certain systems of reward may inhibit children's desire to participate in educational activities was investigated by reviewing recent research on intrinsic motivation. This research was critiqued from four theoretical perspectives: self-perception theory, personal causation, the overjustification hypothesis, and behavioral contrast. (Author/MH)
