Auther : Hend Al-Ma'seb
The motivational model proposed by the Theory of Self-Determination provides an explanation for clients' motivation for therapeutic intervention. This study examined the relationship that holds between three types of motivation (Autonomous, Controlled,and amotivation) through a sample of 78 addicted resident inpatient in the Addiction Treatment Center, and each of the following variables: Age, Marital Status, Educational Level of Participant,and Number of Years of Addiction. In addition, the study investigated whether or not the participants are motivated to receive therapy. The results showed that there is: 1) a significant relationship between the Controlled Motivation variable and the following variables: Age, Marital Status, and Number of Years of Addiction; 2) a significant relationship between the Autonomous Motivation variable and Number of Years of Addiction variable; and 3) a significant relationship between the Educational Level variable and the amotivation variable. The results also demonstrated that the sample participants in this study were not motivated to receive therapeutic interventions.
