The Self-Determination Theory and Actualization of Human Potential article is about the concept of human potential. The article refers to early theorist such as Maslow (1943) and Rogers (1951) which introduced the concept of highest human satisfaction through reaching one’s height of potential. This concept explores complexities beyond conditioning. The idea of actualizing begins with an organismic meta-theory, genetically endowed with capabilities that can reach ultimate potential within optimal conditions and nutrients.
Self-Determination Theory (Deci & Ryan, 2000) is a largest part of the article. SDT assumes that people are inherently inclined to be proactive and move toward greater refinement. It reviews SDT with term similar to “self-actualizing” called “full functioning”. “Full functioning is ideally characterized by being aware and mindful” (Brown & Ryan, 2003) Full functioning differs relatively from normal awareness. It is like being aware at a high level not often reached like basing self-regulation on pursuing …show more content…
Amotivation is the lack of intentionality of behavior, this influence motivation because reinforcement is interrupted without a strong correlation. There are consequences of types of regulation, for example in an education context autonomous motivation has been shown to be associated with persistence. All of the self-determinations are on The Self-Determination which Continuum hold the four extrinsic motivations, intrinsic motivation and amotivation. In order: Amotivation, being the least self-determined, followed by external regulation, introjected regulation, identified regulation, integrated regulation, and finally intrinsic motivation. Lastly emotional regulation is mentioned as a factor. In Self-Determination Theory emotions are addressed like motivation is because of its influence on autonomous motivation, but emotions are identified as information rather than overpowering
