Richard M. Ryan on Internalisation - Dictionary of Arguments
Corr I 442 Internalization/Motivation/Self-Determination Theory/Deci/Ryan: internalization is a developmental process through which external values and regulations can, to varying degrees, be taken in and integrated with one’s sense of self. Self-Determination Theory/SDT proposes that there is a natural developmental tendency for people to take in the values, behaviours and opinions they encounter in their lives and to move toward accepting them as their own. However, this process will function more or less effectively depending on the degree to which the person experiences basic psychological need satisfaction while that process is operating. >Self-Determination Theory/Deci/Ryan, >Motivation/Deci/Ryan, >Autonomy/Deci/Ryan. Corr I 447 Many studies have supported the hypothesizes that need supportive social contexts lead to fuller internalization of values and behavioural regulations (e.g., Niemiec, Lynch, Vansteenkiste et al. 2006(1); Williams and Deci 1996(2)). In one laboratory experiment (Deci, Eghrari, Patrick and Leone 1994)(3) found that three facilitating factors – namely, - providing a rationale for a requested behaviour, - acknowledging people’s feelings about the behaviour, and - highlighting choice rather than control all contributed to facilitating internalization of extrinsic motivation. 1.
