The question of motivation — of what makes people behave the way they do — has always been a primary concern. Since Thorndike's Law of Effect was published in 1911, the reasons for and the prediction of human (and animal) behaviour has been extensively researched. The purpose of this paper is to expand motivational research by applying a newly developed research technology to an area of human behaviour that has so far not been studied systematically, namely, everyday experiences. Specifically, we are interested in exploring two basic questions about motivation: 1. how often do people describe their everyday experiences as being free and intrinsically motivating; and 2. what is the relationship between intrinsically rewarding experiences and psychological well-being, or the overall sense of satisfaction with one's life
