In general, conditions likely to lead to negative motivation and avoidance reactions must be avoided or at least minimized. Of particular concern are activities students perceive as unchallenging, uninteresting, overdemanding, or overwhelming and structure that seriously limits their range of options or that is overcontrolling and coercive. Examples of conditions that can have a negative impact on a student’s motivation are excessive rules, criticism, and confrontation.

The less one understands the background and experiences that have shaped a student, the harder it may be to create a good fit. This problem is at the root of concerns about working with students who come from different cultures and about accounting for individual differences in general. (More on this later in this chapter.)
