Research interests

My main research interest concerns the question why people are doing what they are doing. Why would a student put effort in his school work? What moves a child to comply or defy the rules of his parents? Why does a patient decide to continue or quit therapy? Why is an unemployed person looking for a job? Why are we recycling and do we do something for the betterment of the environment? These are all motivational questions.

Throughout my research I try to map out the reasons that motivate people’s behavior and the goals and ambitions that people pursue throughout their lives. An important question that I try to address is whether particular motives and goals are more likely to be associated with enduring persistence, high quality performance, personal wellness (e.g., low depression), a smoother identity development, and more adjusted social functioning (e.g., low prejudice). In addition, I try to examine how the social environment, including parents, teachers, coaches and therapists, can affect people’s motivation.

This research can yield important practical insights for how to organize schools, companies, clinical settings and the society as a whole. After all, each of us functions to some extent as a motivation psychologist when we try to stimulate and encourage people around us in our daily lives. In answering these questions, I try to help build and extend the self-determination theory (Deci & Ryan, 2000; Vansteenkiste, Ryan, & Deci, 2008), but equally rely on other motivational (e.g., achievement goal theory, expectancy value theorie), developmental (e.g., separation-individuation theory, social domain theory), clinical (e.g., motivational interviewing, transtheoretical model of change) and work and organizational theories (e.g., goal setting theory, job demands resources model).

Information about talks, workshops and new publications

	Workshops and talks
	Because both the enactment and the lack of enactment of any kind of behavior represents a motivated act, one can address the importance of people's motivation in any life domain, including scholing and education, unemployment and work, social, health and psychological care, and sport and exercise. Authority figures such as teachers, parents, psychotherapists, coaches and policital leaders can increase but also harm people's motivation. Through interactive presentations or workshops, the basic principles of Self-Determination Theory are explained. Both the different types of motives that underly people's behavior as well as the way the environment affects people motivation are addressed.
