The Conflict Between Intrinsic and Extrinsic Motivators
edit(Hi, this is just a friendly edit, I found some information you might like to include. Thanks!)
Observation of any child for a long period of time will reinforce one thing – Children love to have new items in their possession. There doesn’t have to be a reason for a new item, but the mere fact it can happen and that it is new is the fairly safe stereotype. This fact is obviously quite common knowledge. Everybody was a child once. The reason why it’s crucial in this scenario however, is the conflict in children between extrinsic motivation and intrinsic motivation is stirred up by children wanting new things. As Deci, Koestner and Ryan (1999) have acknowledged, the conflict between extrinsic and intrinsic motivation is problematic in childhood. In adults it is hard at the best of times. Not because the purchasing of new possessions is expensive, but the fact that in order to appease children, we have become willing to buy their silence. This has become the norm, instead of working on their intrinsic level of self-satisfaction and happiness with what toys they already have (Ryan & Deci, 2000). In realisation of this problem, it is only going to be a matter of time before the child has achieved the task to acquire the new shiny object. The task each of us set out, despite knowledge of what was being done was bad. This is what children have been trained to do. Therefore, the proposal for a third motivation state seems the only viable option to support good parenting and the demands of children. Thus, the proposal for an in-between motivation state seems the only viable route to take. Whereby the fun and excitement of being able to succeed and be rewarded is balanced fairly with the opportunity to say no and to provide time for reflection and intrinsic personal growth (Benabou, 2003). Furthermore, the realisation that children, or adults, will never occupy just one state of motivation will be the greatest success.
