1 flagged finding: a generic paraphrase-style quote attributed to Dr. Edward Deci that does not match his well-known Self-Determination Theory terminology, using certification-study-specific language instead -- reads as unverified for this article.
Before"Motivation is sustained not by desire but by the subjective expectancy that effort will produce outcomes that are genuinely valued. When the connection between study effort and a personally meaningful outcome is vague, motivation decays. When it is specific and salient, it is maintained under the ordinary friction of difficult, sustained work." -- Dr. Edward Deci, Department of Psychology, University of Rochester
AfterThis connects to Edward Deci's self-determination theory: motivation is sustained not by desire alone but by the subjective expectancy that effort will produce outcomes that are genuinely valued. When the connection between study effort and a personally meaningful outcome is vague, motivation decays. When it is specific and salient, it is more easily maintained under the ordinary friction of difficult, sustained work.
Why: De-attributed a generic paraphrase-style quote credited to Dr. Edward Deci that used certification-study-specific language atypical of his well-known Self-Determination Theory terminology. Reframed as connected to his genuine self-determination theory work rather than a specific quotation; retained the legitimate Deci academic reference unchanged.
