Do politico-economic systems influence how control affects motivation? We hypothesize that control aversion, meaning … crowding-out of intrinsic motivation due to enforcement, has evolved less under the coercive regime of East Germany than under … in both parts of Germany. Surprisingly, intrinsic motivation in the absence of control is very similar among East and …
