Placeholder for Self-Determination Theory and the Facilitation of Intrinsic Motivation, Social Development, and Well-Being By E. Deci and R. Ryan.
This is an 11-page meta-analytical paper taking in account years of studies on SDT and crucialness in athletic and academic performance, personal well-being, and for me- how it impacts long term results for people with problematic drug or behavioral usage. Anyone from a parent, to a teacher will benefit from reading this as it explains why a child or even adult would develop dysfunctional regulation, have toxic relationship with work, or burn out whilst some people seem to magically don't.
It explained alot of things like why someone can enjoy a hobby but attempts at monetization will leave them hating it, or why imposter syndrome can develop, as well as giving me insights on some of my own quirks of perfectionism, and how these were traits I was attracted to even in the media and characters I consumed.
