Clarify values by identifying activities you would engage…
Clarify values by identifying activities you would engage in without external reward or audience, because intrinsic motivation signals genuine value rather than performed value.
Why This Is a Principle
Derives from self-determination theory's basic needs (Satisfying the psychological needs of autonomy, competence…, The three basic psychological needs are autonomy…) and the undermining effect of extrinsic rewards (Extrinsic motivation (reward from external recognition)). It prescribes a specific test for identifying genuine values—the intrinsic motivation criterion. Clear principle for value clarification.
