Richard M. Ryan on Goals - Dictionary of Arguments
Corr I 449 Goals/Self-Determination Theory/SDT/Deci/Ryan: which types of goals or aspirations do people pursue in their lives? Kasser and Ryan (1993(1), 1996(2)) examined two sets of goals: those for wealth, fame as intrinsic goals. The researchers hypothesized that the intrinsic goals would be associated with greater wellbeing than would the extrinsic goals because intrinsic goals are more closely linked to satisfaction of the basic psychological needs. Kasser and Ryan found that the relative importance people place on extrinsic goals was negatively related to indicators of wellbeing, whereas the relative importance they placed on intrinsic goals was positively related to the same indicators of wellbeing. Sheldon, Ryan, Deci and Kasser (2004)(3) showed that both the goal contents (extrinsic versus intrinsic) people pursue and the motives they have for pursuing the goals (controlled versus autonomous) are associated with their wellbeing. >Motivation/Deci/Ryan, >Regulation/Deci/Ryan, >Self-Determination Theory/Deci/Ryan. 1.
