Outline of Final Research Achievements

We examined whether people have accurate metacognition about motivation, namely "metamotivation", using a series of experiments and survey studies. Generally, we found that people tend to underestimate their intrinsic motivation when working on rather boring tasks, while they often overestimate their motivation once extrinsic incentives are promised. Inaccurate metamotivation also had some behavioral implications. Based on these findings, we proposed a theoretical framework to better understand the nature of metamotivation.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

今回の結果を通してわかったことは,人は人間の持つ内発的な動機づけを過小評価し,外発的な動機づけを過大評価するということである。この結果は,「人は他人を動機づけるときになぜ外発的な報酬に頼ってしまうのか」「人はどうして待ち時間などについ携帯電話などで遊んでしまうのか」といった日常生活における人間行動をうまく説明するだけでなく,こうした行動を変容させるための介入の枠組みを与えるものでもある。
