| Abstract | To determine whether training could counter deleterious effects of reward on intrinsic motivation and creativity, 68 students in grades 3, 4, and 5 at a parochial school in Massachusetts were assigned to one of four conditions in which intrinsic motivation training and rewards were either provided or withheld. In the intrinsic motivation training condition, children met in small groups to view and discuss videotapes designed to help students focus on intrinsic reasons for working in school and to learn how to attain cognitive distance from socially imposed extrinsic constraints. Control group subjects viewed videotapes and discussed favorite topics. Subjects were then administered the Harter Scale of Intrinsic versus Extrinsic Orientation in the Classroom, and a reward manipulation was introduced in which children in the reward conditions were told they could use a camera if they told the experimenter a story. Significant differences were found between the scores on the Harter Curiosity Subscale for Children in the two training conditions, with subjects in the intrinsic motivation training condition scoring higher than subjects in the control condition. The reward contingency produced the predicted decrement in creativity for control group subjects. In contrast, rewarded students who received intrinsic motivation training told stories judged significantly more creative than those told by subjects receiving intrinsic motivation training and no reward. A 56-iterm reference list is included. (RH) |
