Positive feedback increases intrinsic motivation.

the verdict
INSUFFICIENT LEANING
Recorded sources
9 sources for · 0 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that positive feedback increases intrinsic motivation?

Unclear. Several sources assert or find that positive feedback raises intrinsic motivation, but each covers only a single study, classroom, or passing textbook citation rather than the general claim. No item settles the claim at full strength.
