According to Self-determination Theory (SDT), autonomy is a basic psychological need, satisfaction of which may lead to enhanced intrinsic motivation and related beneficial outcomes. By manipulating the opportunity to choose between tasks of equal difficulty, throughout the motivational process, the effect of autonomy support was examined both behaviorally and electrophysiologically. More negative stimulus-preceding negativity (SPN) and an enlarged FRN loss-win difference wave (d-FRN) indicated an enhanced expectation toward the positive outcome (during the anticipation stage) as well as intensified intrinsic motivation toward the task (during the outcome appraisal stage) when choice was available. Taken together, results of the present study suggest d-FRN upon feedback as a real-time electrophysiological indicator of intrinsic/autonomous motivation and illustrate the important role of autonomy-supportive job design in the workplace.
根据自我决定理论（SDT），自主性是一种基本的心理需求，其满足可能会导致内在动机增强及相关有益结果。通过在整个动机过程中操纵在同等难度任务之间进行选择的机会，从行为和电生理两方面考察了自主性支持的效果。当有选择时，更负的刺激前负波（SPN）和更大的FRN损失-获胜差异波（d-FRN）表明对积极结果的期望增强（在预期阶段）以及对任务的内在动机增强（在结果评估阶段）。综上所述，本研究结果表明反馈时的d-FRN可作为内在/自主动机的实时电生理指标，并说明了自主性支持型工作设计在工作场所中的重要作用。
