Chapter ThreeThe Need for

Personal AutonomyBeyond rewards, what else decreases internal motivation?

Threats (controlling)

Miles Clark--St. Joseph’s Indian School.“I never make threats. I make promises.”

…if you don’t study, you can’t watch television.…events that were found to undermine intrinsic motivation are events that most people encounter regularly in their ongoing daily lives.

Deadlines…..Surveillance..…Evaluations

…..the alarm clock that wakes us up

…..the pressure to get kids to school on time

…and the pressure to get yourself to work on time!

Providing choice is a central feature in

supporting a person’s autonomy.

Choice brings about a willingness to do

something.

Chapter Four

Intrinsic and Extrinsic

Chapter FiveEngaging the World with a Sense

of Competence

Bulgarian System

“They pretended to pay us and we pretended to work.”

They didn’t see a relationship between their behavior and the desired outcome.

CompetitionThe real function of competition could be viewed as providing challenges.

Going beyond the challenge…Pressuring children to master challenges especially if a child shows talent

Elbow partner…1 minute…give examples.

Part TwoThe Role of Interpersonal

ConnectednessChapter Six

The Inner Force of Development

The need for relatedness the need to love and be loved

and to care and be cared for by others.

Loving someone is very hard work.

Chapter SevenWhen Society Beckons

Internalizing

As parent, teachers, administrators our job to encourage others to do many things they might find boring but that allow them to become effective members of society.More challenging than that, our job involves facilitating their doing the activities on their own at the own initiative so they will go on doing them in the future when we are no longer there to prompt.

Chapter EightThe Self in a Social World

**People don’t express their real feelings and beliefs.

If they did, they say, they would feel selfish or guilty, and people wouldn’t like them.

Can you be who you really want to be?

Do people really know who you are?

If not, it’s called ego-involvement and it undermines intrinsic motivation.

Personal Examples:**Front row at a concert…

**Twins Game-dancing with TC Bear

**My family vs. husband’s family

Chapter NineWhen Society Corrupts

Don’t want to say … “I wished I would have.”

Or

… “I wished I wouldn’t have.”

Six Types of Life Aspirations1. Wealthy2. Famous3. Physically attractive 4. Competence5. Autonomous6. Relatedness

All are important to some degree for living a satisfying life.

Sometimes we hear people say…Just tell me how to do it.

If we control people enough they may act like they want to be controlled.

Chapter Twelve

Being Autonomous Amidst the Controls

There are some who have been raised in poverty and neglect, who go on to distinguished careers, to stable satisfying lives, providing for their children what was not provided for them and contributing to their community with a spire of gratitude and hope.

WHY?

They had a relationship with an adult who cared.

Part Four Conclusion

Chapter Thirteen

The Meaning of Human Freedom

Some people have belief that all they want in life is to be happy.

Happiness is not all that it’s cracked up to be and most people don’t really want to be happy all the time anyway.

People often choose to go to movies that are very unsettling, that terrify, sadden,

disgust, or anger them.

There is something about experiencing these emotions whether in the safety and comfort of a theater or at a dangerous mountain pass that is

appealing to many people.

When people only want happiness, they actually

undermine their own development.

Quotes to end our book talk…

***And I remember as a second or third grader having some autonomy to go to the store if I felt like it, walk home, take my time, kick the can. We were on our own schedule after school, so that was cool. Stone Gossard

**Listen to the desires of your children. Encourage them and then give them the autonomy to make their own decision. Dennis Waitley

**As an actor there's no autonomy, unless you're prepared to risk the possibility of starving.

Ben Kingsley

They lived happily ever after and then they had to go to work.
