Article Synopsis
- Talking to oneself in the second person (using "you") can improve performance and motivation for English speakers, but its effectiveness in other languages, like Japanese, was unclear.
- A study involving 411 Japanese college students tested the impact of second-person self-talk on task performance, intrinsic motivation, and extrinsic motivation styles, using an anagram task for assessment.
- Results showed no significant difference among different self-talk groups in intrinsic motivation or performance, but first-person self-talk resulted in higher external regulation compared to non-subject and control groups, leading to a discussion on unexpected findings.
