Elements of the Self-Determination Theory

The Self-Determination Theory proposes that autonomous motivation is distinct from controlled motivation (Gagne and Deci, 2005) where autonomy “involves acting with a sense of volition and having the experience of choice” (Gagne and Deci, 2006, p. 333) while controlled motivation involves external regulation. It proposes that uninteresting activities require extrinsic motivation; thus, making the activity externally regulated.

External regulation is the use of external factors to initiate and maintain a behavior. However, the Self-Determination Theory names another type of extrinsic motivation where the regulation of a behavior and the value that is associated with it becomes internalized. Internalization is when people have ...

INTRODUCTION

Robert Feldman (2010) defines lifespan development as a study that analyzes different patterns of change and growth in behavior that happens throughout an individual’s entire life. Though multiple theories exist to explain lifespan development, all specialists agree that both environment and heredity contribute to human development. For our case study, we would focus more on the environmental aspect of both Tayib and Rachel. The environmental aspect basically describes the surrounding circumstances an individual grew up with. It is largely affected by the people around them and the accompanying cultural circumstance they are currently in.
Twenty-nine-year old Tayib is ...

However, the symptoms she displays clearly fall under the earlier DSM-IV criteria of diagnosis. Under the new DSM-5 criteria, she would still be a fit case for Alzheimer’s because she has been experiencing a gradual decline in her autonomy.

How I would evaluate the situation if I were a part of the ethics board

If I were a part of the ethics counsel, I would analyze this case based on autonomy and beneficence. Autonomy holds that a physician should respect the rights of the patient and present all treatment options so that the patient can make an informed decision (Brody and Colloca, 2013). In the case of Mr. and Mrs. Harrelson, the inheritance of two FGFR3 genes would lead to adverse impacts such as stillbirth while inheritance of one gene would result in dwarfism (Veatch, Haddad, and English, 2010). However, there is a chance that one child in four will not inherit the ...

Introduction

Two University of Rochester professors collaborated on a paper called “Self Determination Theory and the facilitation of intrinsic motivation, social development and wellbeing” that was published in the Journal of American Psychologist . This article focuses our thoughts on the wellbeing as contingent upon the successful proportion of three ingredients: Autonomy, Competence, and Relatedness. These three nutrients feed and develop our sense of self. The more accomplished individuals are increasing the ingredients that cause their lives to be successful in the eyes of others that are not as accomplished.
Contrast these two writers to David McClellan in 1961 who wrote ...

Alcan has no centralized IT management framework. As a matter of fact responsibility of IT is shared among various business groups. Every business entity functions independently with its own strategic IT plan, infrastructure needs, IT applications and services.

Introduction

Modern day health care systems focus on offering holistic care that is patient-centric, safe, effective, efficient and timely. To this end, medical practitioners must have a diverse set of skills and knowledge from pharmacology to human anatomy and physiology. Of this, a sound understanding of anatomy and physiology are critical in provision of care for long term care. Physiology is the study of function in living systems while anatomy is the study of structure in living things. These two disciplines have been central in the delivery of health services since Ancient Greece where philosophers such as Aristotle explained the relationship between ...

Every profession has its own ethical considerations, but the area of social work has some of the most heart-wrenching ethical stories, because when practitioners act unethically, either through neglect or through malice, the effects are so tragic. In this case study, the patient was a 52-year-old single man (never married). Because he had multiple handicaps, he had a social worker serving as his legal guardian. He did have two relatives in the area – two sisters. Both of them took care of their brother as much as they could, but they also had full-time jobs of their own to hold down. Over ...

When people make their choices in life, they are influenced by the society that surrounds them by changing their social conditions in ways that may at some point encumber or even support their life with family.

Development is the movement, growth, and transition made by an individual from one state to another in life. This research has been able to state clearly the stages made by people who are developing from one stage to another. This ...

The ethical issue is derived from whether doctors should have hard paternalism over patient autonomy when a decision could negatively affect the patient’s health goals. Some of the pertinent ethical facts in the case of whether Mrs. B may be taken off of life support is as followed:

Does Mrs. B's condition render the requirements necessary to prompt the ...
