The chapter-opening Case Study described research by Teresa Amabile investigating whether external rewards would promote creativity in children鈥檚 artwork. Dr. Amabile conducted another study involving college students, who were divided into two groups using a chance process (like drawing names from a hat). The students in one group were given a list of statements about external reasons

(E) for writing, such as public recognition, making money, or pleasing their parents. Students in the other group were given a list of statements about internal reasons (I) for writing, such as expressing yourself and
