The "Motivational Integration and Development Model" is a holistic approach to understanding human motivation and behavior, emphasizing growth and development over time. It is built on the idea that motivation is driven by a complex interplay of individual needs, environmental factors, and social and cultural influences, drawing on theories and concepts from social and personality psychology. The framework includes important concepts such as Psychological Needs, Intrinsic motivations, Self-Determination Theory, Rewards and Consequences, Task Motivation and Goal Orientation, Social Influence, and Contextual Factors such as personality, environment, and cultural norms.
Discovering the Game-Changing Power of ChatGPT!
I caved and tried ChatGPT and my good god it is game changing! Just Wow!!!
Can it Code?
I started with simple stuff, but quickly moved on to asking for some really specific responses. First – I asked it to create a Javascript that waited for an element to exist on a page. It delivered. I then asked if it would optimise the code for me. It did. I then asked it to create a web page that documented the function and had a functional demo on the page. ChatGPT delivered.
I then tweaked some of the styles and a little bit of code to my taste, but again, I asked the AI to help. I ended up with this page – https://marczewski.me.uk/eltest.html
AMP, iAMP or AIM – You Decide!
My latest post about setting goals got a little conversation going with my good friend Bernardo Letayf of BLUErabbit
He was saying that it made more sense for my new AMP Goal Setting framework (Achievable, Measurable, Progressible Goals) should be AIM – Achievable, Incremental, Measurable, because I talk a lot about Incrementally Achievable goals in the post. Now, as it happens I had considered this, but I was really wanting to push the idea of progress as well. So what do you think?
- AMP – Achievable, Measurable, Progressible goals
- AIM – Achievable Incremental, Measurable goals
- iAMP – Incrementally Achievable, Measurable, Progressible goals
I actually like iAMP truth be told – very early 2000s 🙂
AMP up your Goals and Smash those New Year’s Resolutions!
2023 is underway now and most of us have probably already given up on our goals for the New Year! You are not alone though, a study in 2021 found that two-thirds of us give up our New Year’s Resolutions within a month!
There can be many reasons for this, but in my experience, it more often than not is down to unrealistic and unachievable goal setting. “I’m going to go to the gym every day”. “I’m going to practice my scales for an hour every day”. “I’m going to do 10,000 steps every day” etc etc etc.
Gamification, RAMP and Christmas
Christmas is almost on us and it feels like a great reminder (again) about the dangers of Over Justification Effect!
Whatever your beliefs, it is easy to get wrapped up in one aspect of Christmas – getting presents. It seems that to some it is a right for surviving another year, their reward for not going postal, a pat on the back for being a decent human.
However, those are the extrinsic rewards that hook us into Christmas. They are not the real meaning of Christmas. Consider it from a RAMP perspective.
