A motivational strategy that parents can employ with their kids, is to frame tasks and responsibilities in the context of what the end benefit is for them. I call this strategy WIIFM
(“What’s in it for me?”).
When a teen can combine an understanding of WIIFM with a sense of passion about achieving a goal, barriers will start to fall away. At our teen summer camps, we arrange an event near the end of the 10-day session that helps campers identify an important life goal and mentally break through their biggest barrier to achieving the goal.
We pass around 12-by-12-inch pine boards. We tell campers that this activity is not about breaking a piece of wood. It’s about how you can get what you want in your life. It’s about breaking barriers to grab on to your goals.
They have the power to break through any barrier. It has nothing to do with body size or physical condition. The skinniest, smallest teens will break through the board almost as easily as the big ones.
We talk to the campers about the reasons they might have had for not reaching their goals in the past. Maybe they got lazy and decided it wasn’t worth the effort. Maybe they failed and let their fear of failure hold them back. But this exercise is about putting the past where it belongs. Today is about making new choices.
By this point in the program, we ask them to think of the goal they’ve set for themselves and write their goals on the boards. Then they write the possible obstacles which may hold them back on the opposite sides. An inch of pine now stands between them and their dreams.
The facilitators and their teammates gather around. The support is strong. One by one, they break through the barriers and grab their goals! All around us teens are laughing, crying, hugging, and holding up the broken pieces of their boards. The confidence shown on their faces is beautiful.
While arranging such an activity in one’s home is almost unrealistic for parents, the value of helping a teen break through a personal barrier simply by being there as moral support can not be overestimated. More help for parents in the form of videos and articles is available at our website, in our blogs and in a monthly e-newsletter.

Goal-Setting - A Motivational Technique That Works
The problem of how to motivate employees has puzzled and frustrated managers for generations. One reason the problem has seemed difficult, if not mysterious, is that motivation ultimately comes from within the individual and therefore cannot be observed directly. Moreover, most managers are not in a position to change an employee’s basic personality structure. The best they can do is try to use incentives to direct the energies of their employees toward organizational objectives.
Money is obviously the primary incentive, since without it few if any employees would come to work. But money alone is not always enough to motivate high performance. Other incentives, such as participation in decision making, job enrichment, behavior modification, and organizational development, have been tried with varying degrees of success. A large number of research studies have shown, however, that one very straightforward technique-goal setting-is probably not only more effective than alternative methods, but may be the major mechanism by which these other incentives affect motivation. For example, a recent experiment on job enrichment demonstrated that unless employees in enriched jobs set higher, more specific goals than do those with unenriched jobs, job enrichment has absolutely no effect on productivity. Even money has been found most effective as a motivator when the bonuses offered are made contingent on attaining specific objectives.
The goal-setting concept
The idea of assigning employees a specific amount of work to be accomplished-a specific task, a quota, a performance standard, an objective, or a deadline-is not new. The task concept, along with time and motion study and incentive pay, was the cornerstone of scientific management, founded by Frederick W.Taylor more than 70 years ago. He used this system to increase the productivity of blue-collar workers. About 2- years ago the idea of goal setting reappeared under a new name, management by objectives, but this technique was designed for managers.
In a 14-year program of research, we have found that goal setting does not necessarily have to be part of a wider management system to motivate performance effectively. It can be used as a technique in its own right.

目标的确定—一种有效的有关动机的技术
怎样激发雇员的问题长期以来困惑着经理们,其看似复杂的原因之一,如果不是神秘,是动机最终产生于员工个体,而个体不能被直接注意到.更重要的是,绝大部分经理并不是处在改变员工基本个性结构的位置上,他们所能干的最好的就是用激励机制把雇员的能量组织起来.
钱显然是最重要的刺激,因为没钱,几乎没人为你工作.但是钱单独不足激发出高效率.其它一些激励已经不同程度的尝试成功,例如参与决策,工作致富,行为修改和组织的发展.许多的研究成果表明:目标的确定做为一种直接技术可能不但是比其它方法有效,而且是其它方法影响动机的主要机理.例如,一项有关工作致富的最近试验证明,除非与那些未致富的工作相比,在致富工作中的雇员设定更高更、更具体的目标,工作致富方法对生产率完全没有影响.甚至人们还发现当奖金视达到的具体目标而定时,钱才是最有效的激励手段.
目标设定的概念
给雇员分配完成特定量的工作,特定任务、配额、生产定额、目标或者截止日期,这一想法并不新鲜,这种任务的概念,以及工业操作效率的研究分析是科学管理的基石,早在70年以前就由弗雷德W.Taylor所建立了.他使用这系统增加蓝领工人的生产力.大约2年前,这种任务制定方法重新以另一个新名词出现即目标管理,但这种技术是对管理者提出的.
在14年的研究过程中,我们发现目标设定不必作为广义管理系统中激励机制的必须部分.它可被用在能发挥其优势的地方.

先弄清几个缩写的意思,如下:
OFC = orbitofrontal cortex = 眼窝前额皮质 或 眶额叶皮层
PFC = prefrontal cortex = 前额皮质
MPFC = medial prefrontal cortex = 内侧前额叶皮质
整段文字的建议译文如下:
- 首先,感官资讯、情感资讯和动机资讯进入眼窝前额皮质;
- 然後,眼窝前额皮质把结果的数值编码;
- 然後,外侧前额皮质构建一个取得结果的途径;
- 同时,内侧前额叶皮质亦评估当中所需作的努力(成功的机会、成本与效益分析等).
