Investigating the Effect of 3D Simulation Based Learning on the Motivation and Performance of Engineering Students (2010, background): “…(providing the experience of volition and choice) promoted self-determined motivation which, in turn, led to higher perceived competence in the achievement of desirable outcomes and healthier behaviors (Williams and Deci, 1996, 2001; Williams, Freedman, and Deci, 1998; Williams et al., 2000).”
Psychological threat and extrinsic goal striving (2008, unknown): “of peoples’ goals and aspirations (Kasser et al. 1995, 2002; Williams et al. 2000); here, we attempt to provide an”
The "What" and "Why" of Goal Pursuits: Human Needs and the Self-Determination of Behavior (2000, background): “We can, as well, identify autonomous avoidance behaviors, as when a person fully endorses and thus autonomously follows a physician’s admonition to stop smoking and avoid the accompanying health risks (Williams et al., 2000).”
Early Family Experiences and Adult Values: A 26-Year, Prospective Longitudinal Study (2002, methodology): “…used have been rather limited, focusing on either empirically derived values (Cohen & Cohen, 1996) or values representative of a particular theoretical orientation (Kasser et al., 1995; Williams et al., 2000); therefore, we lack conceptual replications of the theory using other measures of values.”
An examination of the interrelationships between self‐esteem, others' expectations, family support, learning approaches and academic achievement (2008, background): “Nevertheless, others’ expectations are likely to prompt some type of behavioral engagement in learning, but the learning is likely to be more rigid, narrowly focused and superficial because extrinsic goals are said to create on average an ‘outward orientation’ (Williams et al. 2000).”
Parental autonomy support, community feeling and student expectations as contributors to later achievement among adolescents (2017, background): “Results indicated that parental autonomy support explains half of the variance in community feeling among high school students, providing further evidence that parental autonomy support promotes intrinsic life goals (Kasser et al., 1995; Lekes et al., 2010; Williams et al., 2000).”
