Abstract: This article reports the results of a meta-analysis using 50 experimental studies (256 effect sizes) of the overjustification effect. In general, we found support for the effect across age, dependent measure, and design type in specific situations where it is predicted to occur. Findings are less supportive of the theory for situations where there should be no difference between experimental and control groups (e.g. non-contingent or unexpected reward). Suggestions for future research are made.

“…Previous meta-analyses had reached similar conclusions (Rummel and Feinberg 1988, Tang and Hall 1995, Wiersma 1992). The Deci et al meta-analysis corrected for a number of shortcomings in some of the meta-analyses we cited in support of the economists' view on incentives (i.e., Pierce 1994, Eisenberger andCameron 1996).…”

“…The so called crowding-out effect (Frey (1997)) is empirically well documented (Frey and Jegen (2001)). Numerous laboratory experiments show that monetary rewards for intrinsically motivated tasks lead to a decline in future intrinsic motivation (Rummel and Feinberg (1988); Wiersma (1992); Tang and Hall (1995); Deci and Ryan (2000); Fehr and Gächter (2000)). Furthermore, field research confirms the crowding-out effect (Frey and Jegen (2001); Weibel et al (2007)).…”

“…3 Crowding out of intrinsic motivation by extrinsic rewards is discussed, for example, in DECI (1971), LEPPER, GREENE, and NISBETT (1973), DECI, KOESTNER, and RYAN (1999). For an overview on experimental studies see for instance PITTMANN and HELLER (1987), WIERSMA (1992), and TANG and HALL (1995. The argument, however, that extrinsic motivation crowds out intrinsic motivation is not undisputed among psychologists, see, for example, CAMERON and PIERCE (1994) and EISENBERGER and CAMERON (1996).…”
