| Abstract |
For effective self-directed life-long learning physicians need to engage in feedback-seeking, which means fostering such behavior during training. Self-determination theory (SDT) posits that intrinsic motivation is fostered when the environment optimizes the individual's experience of autonomy, relatedness, and competence. Educational settings meeting these psychological needs may foster intrinsic motivation in trainees, enhance their desire for feedback, and promote feedback-seeking. We sought to examine residents' feedback-seeking behaviors through the lens of SDT and explore the association with intrinsic motivation and career choice. We used a mixed-methods approach with an explanatory sequential design. Residents participated in simulation training, completed an inventory of intrinsic motivation (IMI) and responded to sequential opportunities for performance feedback requiring different levels of effort. We compared IMI scores and career choice between groups with different effort. We interviewed high-effort feedback-seekers and conducted thematic analysis of interview data. Thirty-four of 35 residents completed the survey (97%). Of those completing the study, 12 engaged in low-effort feedback-seeking only, 10 indicated intent for high-effort feedback-seeking and 10 actually engaged in higher effort to get feedback. Groups did not differ in mean IMI scores. Among high-effort feedback-seekers more residents were interested in critical care-related fields compared to the other groups. We identified 5 themes around autonomy, relatedness, and competence clarifying residents' reasons for feedback-seeking. Our findings suggest that among residents, the relationship between motivation and feedback-seeking is complex and cannot be predicted by IMI score. Career plans and relationships with feedback providers impact feedback-seeking, which can inform educational interventions. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 8. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 13 September 2018.
All research outputs
#4,496,938
of 25,284,710 outputs
Outputs from BMC Medical Education
#755
of 3,934 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#78,638
of 335,015 outputs
Outputs of similar age from BMC Medical Education
#23
of 87 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,284,710 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 82nd percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 3,934 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 6.4. This one has done well, scoring higher than 80% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 335,015 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 76% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 87 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 74% of its contemporaries.
