Background: The concept of motivation involves a complex interplay of biopsychosocial and environmental determinants. For individuals diagnosed with schizophrenia, motivation has traditionally been approached from a neuro-biological standpoint, obscuring this complexity. The findings from this study underscore the importance of broadening our understanding of motivation and schizophrenia through an exploration of individual perspectives and identification of the psychosocial factors that clarify the experience of diminished motivation.
