Webinar Description:

In the presentation, I analyse the decision-making process by applying logotherapy and self-determination theory (SDT) Logotherapy, created by an Austrian neurologist and psychiatrist, Viktor Frankl, focuses on the meanings individuals give to their experience when they make decisions and take responsibility for their lives. According to logotherapy, human beings are more than just the product of their psychological, biological and social conditioning. They are self-determining organisms who actively shape and change their lives by making decisions.  Similarly, self-determination theory, developed by Edward L. Deci and Richard M. Ryan, psychologists at the University of Rochester, assumes that people are active organisms with inherent and deeply evolved tendencies toward psychological growth and development. This active aspect of human nature is evident in the phenomenon of intrinsic motivation that refers to people’s tendency to seek challenges, novelties, and making decisions.
