Health Coaching, Motivational Interviewing, and Behavior Change in Women's Health
Michelle Tollefson, Nancy Eriksen, Neha Pathak in Improving Women's Health Across the Lifespan, 2021
Motivation is commonly conceptualized as a general drive or inclination typically toward achieving a goal or outcome within the foreseeable future. Interestingly, according to self-determination theory (SDT), the type of motivation a patient has could reveal more about future actions than overall motivation.17 The first type is intrinsic motivation, or motivation that comes from within the individual with inherent interest and enjoyment for the behavior. Intrinsic motivation requires little to no self-regulation, since the behavior is pursued from the inherent enjoyment that is produced (e.g., reading a good book, watching a favorite television show, going for a walk on a nice day, and eating a favorite dessert). Patients can be intrinsically motivated for both healthy and unhealthy behaviors. Extrinsic motivation indicates that one is motivated for behavior in order to reach a goal, reward, or outcome extrinsic to the behavior itself. It is this type of motivation that HCPs will engage most often with lifestyle prescriptions, such as a patient eating healthier diet for improvements in blood pressure, cholesterol, anxiety/mood, sleep, or weight control (i.e., extrinsic outcomes).
Occupational therapy and affective disorders
Stephen Curran, John P Wattis in Practical Management of Affective Disorders in Older People, 2018
Motivation is the impulse that we experience to engage, or not to engage, in an activity. It is based on our previous experience of success in that activity, or similar activities, and is also influenced by our level of interest in the activity and the extent to which that activity fits with our personal values. As we grow older, the range of activities in which we can successfully engage may shift and even diminish. Our expectation of success may become more limited. In addition, the reduction in personal income that can accompany retirement may place real limits on the activities that we can afford to take part in. Our personal values may change. Values linked to work and achievement may become superseded by those linked to social relationships. Sadly, in a society that places high value on youth (or a youthful appearance) and on economic productivity, we may come to feel less valued by others as we grow older.
Motivational aspects of Football as Medicine
Peter Krustrup, Daniel Parnell in Football as Medicine, 2019
The other chapters of this book have outlined that football is effective as medicine for a plethora of lifestyle diseases in a wide variety of participant groups. Furthermore, football also seems to be an effective way of increasing emotional and physical well-being (e.g. Friedrich & Mason, 2017). However, in order for football as medicine to work, people need to engage in it on a regular basis. A prerequisite for regular physical activity is motivation. Motivation can be defined as a person’s desire to achieve a certain goal or perform a certain action (e.g. wanting to participate in regular football practice to improve one’s fitness). Following Heckhausen (2010), a person’s motivation to achieve a certain goal is determined by personal as well as situational factors. Personal factors pertain to motives, needs or goals whereas situational factors refer to the (sporting) environment. In this chapter, we will apply the most frequently used theories in the physical activity context to explore the motivational aspects of football. The Self-Determination Theory (Deci & Ryan, 1985) and the concept of flow (Csikszentmihalyi & Csikszentmihalyi, 1988) will be applied to investigate the sources of motivation that are personal rather than situational, while the Achievement Goal Theory (Nicholls, 1984) will be used to investigate the sources of motivation that are situational rather than personal.
Does Narrative Feedback Enhance Children's Motor Learning in a Virtual Environment?

Motivation is “a psychological property that encourages action toward a goal by eliciting and/or sustaining goal-directed behavior” (Lohse, Boyd, & Hodges, 2016, p.172). Both extrinsic (driven by an external outcome) and intrinsic (driven by inherent interest or enjoyment) motivation (Ryan & Deci, 2000) have motor learning benefits (Abe et al., 2011; Wulf, Lewthwaite, Cardozo, & Chiviacowsky, 2018). Engagement, “an affective quality or experience of a participant in a task that emerges from focused attention, aesthetic pleasures, and perceptions of novelty” (Lohse et al., 2016, p.172), can have indirect effects on learning via enhanced motivation to increase practice duration (Lohse et al., 2016; Lohse, Shirzad, Verster, Hodges, & Van der Loos, 2013). There is also early evidence that engagement can directly enhance learning processes by supporting long-term information retention. Lohse et al. (2016) were the first to explore engagement-mediated learning effects in humans in an experiment demonstrating that playing a more aesthetically-enriched video game improved skill retention as compared to playing a sterile version of the game. A follow-up study using electroencephalography showed that engaged learners had increased information processing, as measured by reduced attentional reserve (Leiker et al., 2016).

The word “motivation” is a part of everyday speech as well as a concept used in vocational rehabilitation. Motivation is a theoretical construct used to explain behaviour. It represents the reasons for people’s actions, desires, and needs. A common definition of motivation is, “the force that energizes, directs, and sustains behaviour” [8]. The self-determination theory (SDT) [9,10] is a macro-theory of human motivation and personality, concerning people’s inherent growth tendencies and their innate psychological needs [11]. Human beings can be proactive and engaged or alternatively passive and alienated, largely as a function of the social conditions in which they develop and function. Accordingly, research guided by SDT has focused on the social-contextual conditions that facilitate rather than prevent the natural processes of self-motivation and healthy psychological development [12]. Specifically, factors have been examined that enhance rather than undermine intrinsic motivation, self-regulation, and well-being. The findings have led to the postulate of three innate psychological needs – competence, autonomy, and relatedness – which, when satisfied, yield enhanced self-motivation and mental health and when thwarted lead to diminished motivation and well-being [12].

One of the parameters that is thought to affect alcohol and substance use during a patient’s diagnosis and treatment process is treatment motivation.Treatment motivation is an important concept that makes the individual willing to change their behavior, affects the performance of the individual positively, and provides a driving force in making positive behavior a reality (Savaşan, 2010). Motivation is a very important component that is crucial to inducing a change in an individual’s behaviors. A significant factor, especially in terms of addiction, a lack of treatment motivation leads the patient to discontinue treatment, makes them unable to complete treatment, as well as increasing the likelihood of relapses after treatment (Diclemente, 1999). In terms of alcoholism, even though an individual may realize the damage caused by alcohol and wish to take a step back, they are never quite able to do this. The desire to stop using and treatment motivation are determining factors in the treatment of alcoholism (Cox, Pothod, & Hosier, 2007). In one study it was concluded that pre-treatment motivation is an important component for sustained alcoholism treatment (Cahill, Adinoff, Hosig, Muller, & Pulliam, 2003).
