Intrinsic Motivation

A person is intrinsically motivated to engage in behavior if he does it for no apparent reason except the activity itself (Koch 1956, Hunt 1965, Berlyne 1966). Engaging in these behaviors allows him to feel a sense of competence and self-determination (White 1959, de Charms, 1968, Deci 1972a).
