What theoretical framework are you thinking of?

Hi Carl,

 Thanks for your reply. I was thinking of using the framework elaborated in the Waterman paper (see attached). However, in relation to a health care setting, I have tried to devise something along the lines of framework described in two other papers (Bennett, Kekana, Mbinyo). I believe it incorporates all the essence of intrinsic motivation as proposed by Deci and Ryan as described in my paper.

 I tried designing the questionnaire, but it is a little tricky. Any advice?

Great! I am a "Deci and Ryan" guy as well! Have you been to this website (below)?

http://www.selfdeterminationtheory.org/questionnaires/

They have links to some research, and I have adapted the measures that they provide (for free) for my own work. I think this might be useful to you. Please let me know if this  is, or is not, what your were looking for (if not, I may be able to direct you elsewhere).

Hi Carl,

 Fantastic. I have looked into it (the website) while trying to design the questionnaire. The questionnaire I designed, to me is quite extensive, but I guess there's no way around it. If you'd like, I would love you to have a look at what I have designed. Maybe you could  help me out.

Sure! Send it along and I will be happy to look and see if I can provide any input! my email is [email protected]

Will send to you in 5 minutes. Thanks Carl.

Hi Yoga,

The framework would probably be based on qualitative method. A possible way is to search for an example of validated questionnaire to test the scale of motivation.

This is my suggestion. Hope it helps you with your quest.

Thanks for your feedback Eswaran. Unfortunately, there are not fixed or validated questionnaire for 'intrinsic' motivation. There are lots of those for general motivation assessments.

I have already designed one and I am on the verge of testing it out but need to confirm if it is sound more a psychological point of view.
