Question
12. Which of the following is true of
the “free choice paradigm”?
(A) Participants
are given a very boring and mundane task to perform. Half are provided with
some external pressure or reward to perform the task and half are only told
simply to “do their best”. Differences in task performance between the two
groups are then assessed.
(B) This is
a paradigm in personality research that examines the activities participants
choose to engage in as a way to predict certain personality characteristics.
(C) Researchers use this paradigm to determine
which activities children find most intrinsically interesting so that these can
then be employed in an educational setting.
(D) The amount of time participants spend on the original task during the free choice period is used to assess differences in intrinsic motivation between two conditions: a condition in which some evaluative pressure or reward had been provided for doing the task and a control condition with no such incentive.
Question
13. Deci’s (1971) classic study
illustrates the undermining effect which refers to:
(A) The finding that the impact of external
rewards on motivation decreases over time as participants become accustomed to
receiving the reward.
(B) The reduction in intrinsic motivation for an activity that
occurs after one has been provided financial incentive for engaging in that
activity.
(C) The
finding that punishing people for engaging in an enjoyable activity only makes
them want to do it even more.

alone to do whatever they would like show less motivation for learning
activities than do participants who know that the experimenter is watching
them.
Question 14.
In Werneke and Tomasello’s 2008 research on helping behavior in children
suggests that:
(A) Rewards make children feel appreciated for
helping and therefore increase subsequent helping behavior.
(B) Providing children with rewards for helping
increases the already high base-rate of helping.
(C) Both praise and rewards had an equally
undermining effect on intrinsic motivation for helping.
(D) Children as early as 20-months are intrinsically interested
in helping adults.
Question
15. Deci, Koestner, and Ryan’s (1999)
meta-analysis on the effects of rewards on intrinsic motivation indicates that:
(A) Unexpected rewards do not significantly undermine intrinsic motivation.
(B) Combining
studies on all types of rewards suggests that on average rewards do increase
intrinsic motivation.
(C) Non-contingent
rewards are more detrimental to intrinsic motivation than rewards contingent on
engagement or performance.
(D) Verbal, but not tangible, rewards undermine
intrinsic motivation.
Question
16. Which of the following was NOT
found by Murayama and colleagues’ (2010) in their neuroimaging study of the
undermining effect?
(A) In the first condition, there is a lot of
activation in the bilateral striatum occurring in the reward condition (e.g., financial
reward for response), but there is also activation in the control condition
(e.g., not getting rewards) because participants found the game rewarding and
interesting.
(B) In looking at the lateral prefrontal cortex,
you see the same pattern of effects found as those in the bilateral striatum
area of the brain for these experiments.
(C) Activation in the bilazteral striatum only occurs for the
reward condition.
(D) When brought back into the lab for a second
session, this time with no rewards for any participants, those who had
previously received rewards for their performance showed the lowest levels of
activation in the bilateral striatum.
Question

drives engagement in activities.
(B) Video games are currently the most popular

video games. We need to better understand video games so as to help individuals
who are addicted to playing them.
(D) All of the
above statements are correct.
Question
18. Good video games fulfill people’s
sense of competence. Which of the following is NOT an example of how a game
might do that?

Question
19. According to SDT’s Cognitive
Evaluation Theory, which of the following video games would be the most
intrinsically motivating?
(A) A guitar
playing game where you can select from various songs you wish to play at each
level. The songs get increasingly difficult as you move up the levels and you
have the option to team up with other players either online or in-person to
form a band.
(B) A guitar playing game where you must
successfully play your way through a predetermined set of songs. You are provided
with clear feedback when you miss a note as well as when you have an
uninterrupted streak of correctly played notes. The game is single-player only.
(C) An
open-world game in which you can do whatever you want and interact with
whomever you want, but there is no clear form of feedback or way to know
whether you are succeeding at the game.
(D) All of the above would be equally
intrinsically motivating.
Question
20. The study examining World of
Warcraft players and their persistence playing the game eight months later
found that:
(A) Participant ratings of basic need satisfaction
were highly correlated with whether or not they were still playing World of
Warcraft eight months later.
(B) Participant ratings of
enjoyment, but not need satisfaction, were related to whether or not
participants said the game was worth the price.
(C) Enjoyment was the strongest predictor of
whether participants continued to play World of Warcraft, but it was not
strongly related to whether participants said that the game was worth the
price.
(D) Basic need satisfaction and enjoyment were
equally predictive of whether participants continued to pay for and play World
of Warcraft.
Question 21. Peng
and colleagues study on need satisfaction and motivation in exercise games
suggests that:
(A) The competence of participants in one
condition was significantly reduced by not allowing them to select their own
avatar.
(B) Visual features of games, such as what your
avatar looks like, have no impact on game enjoyment or motivation for future
game play.
(C) Removing
game features related to autonomy and competence significantly reduces game enjoyment and motivation for future
play, among other variables.
(D) Turning off autonomy supportive, but not
competence supportive, features of the game leads to decreased enjoyment of and
motivation for game play.

the following does NOT explain a reason for video game overuse:
(A) Games help satisfy the three basic
psychological needs that people may be missing in their daily lives.
