Hello J. Paul (PINOKEPOC),
Thx for the reminder.
I actually did mention them, but in a different post. Keep in mind that this is a blog post, not a textbook. It's impossible for me to say everything I know or have even a more in depth treatment of such a complex subject as human motivation.
But yes, self-determination theory (SDT) by Edward L. Deci and Richard Ryan is one of the most well tested psychological theory of human motivation. However, I believe that human motivation is such a complex subject that no theory or model can explain everything. So I always like to look at multiple psychological constructs and theories when examining a problem.
Like the famouse statistician George E Box once said, "all models are essentially wrong, just some are more useful than others." And Ryan and Deci's is definitely one of the most useful when trying to understand human motivation.
Thank for calling me out on this. Good call...
See you again next time.
