π When Choice Matters and When It Does Not by Katz & Assor (2006)

Big idea:
Empirical findings around 'choice in classroom classroom' are equivocal and confusing. Katz & Assor review a range of evidence (through the lens of SDT) to identify when providing choice may be beneficial and when it may not.

Power quote:
"The present article has attempted to demonstrate that merely offering choice is not in itself motivating. In fact, in some cases it can even reduce motivation."

Geek bonus:
Walton et al conclude that it is the 'meaning' in the choice which matters (ie. how much it relates to something you care about).
Eg. choosing from a range of options that you don't really understand is not motivating.
