Apply Self-Determination Theory (SDT) to analyze motivation quality along the autonomy continuum and design interventions that satisfy basic psychological needs. Use this skill when a user needs to diagnose why intrinsic motivation is declining, evaluate incentive structures for motivational crowding or overjustification, design need-supportive environments, or when they ask "why did rewards backfire", "how to foster intrinsic motivation", or "what needs drive engagement".
