Information for the Project

Over the past decade, research studies on motivation have provided insights into the roles of extrinsic and intrinsic factors as motivators. One of the more interesting results reported in these studies is that humans can be significantly more driven to perform at a higher level by non-incentivized rewards, suggesting that higher performance can be expected for subjects who are intrinsically motivated.

In the Project, you will be expected to locate, summarize, compare, and contrast the results from three primary research articles which examine the differential effects of internal and external motivation. All three articles should have been published after 2000. Example keywords for your literature search are: motivation, internal or intrinsic motivation, external or extrinsic motivation, reward, and human.
