Our article distinguished autonomous motivation, which means doing a behavior (eg, not smoking) with a true sense of choice and willingness, vs controlled motivation, which means feeling pressured to do the behavior. Because autonomous motivation has been associated with greater behavioral persistence and more positive affect than controlled motivation, we suggested that there are important advantages to having teenagers be autonomously motivated to not smoke.
