Self-Determination Theory (SDT; Deci and Ryan 1985; 2000) adopts a multidimensional perspective to motivation, proposing and distinguishing between different reasons as to "why" individuals are impelled to act, rather than only viewing intrinsic versus extrinsic motivation as a dichotomy.
Motivation for a particular behaviour can be described along a continuum of self-determination first described by Deci and Ryan (1985) ranging from amotivated behaviour to intrinsically motivated, self-determined behaviour (Deci and Ryan 1985).
THE HIERARCHICAL MODEL OF INTRINSIC AND EXTRINSIC MOTIVATION The HMIEM (Vallerand, 1997; Vallerand & Ratelle, 2002) is based in part on Deci and Ryan's (1985, 1991, 2000) self-determination theory (SDT).
