Humans have a potential for growth, integration, and well-being, while also being vulnerable to defensiveness, aggression, ill-being. Self-determination theory (R. M. Ryan & E. L. Deci, 2000, the facilitation of intrinsic motivation, social development well-being,American Psychologist, Vol. 55, pp. 68‐78) argues that satisfaction basic psychological needs autonomy, competence, relatedness both fosters immediate well-being strengthens inner resources contributing subsequent resilience,...
Examination of motivational dynamics in academic contexts within self-determination theory has centered primarily around both the motives (initially intrinsic vs. extrinsic, later autonomous controlled) that regulate learners' study behavior and promote or hinder these regulations. Less attention been paid to goal contents (intrinsic extrinsic) learners hold different are communicated schools increase perceived relevance learning. Recent field experiments reviewed showing framing (relative...
Three field experiments with high school and college students tested the self-determination theory hypotheses that intrinsic (vs. extrinsic) goals autonomy-supportive controlling) learning climates would improve students' learning, performance, persistence. The of text material or physical exercises was framed in terms (community, personal growth, health) versus extrinsic (money, image) goals, which were presented an controlling manner. Analyses variance confirmed both experimentally...
The satisfaction of the basic psychological needs for autonomy, competence, and relatedness, as defined in Self‐Determination Theory, has been identified an important predictor individuals' optimal functioning various life domains. study work‐related need seems, however, hampered by lack a validated measure. To assist future research, present aimed to develop validate Work‐related Basic Need Satisfaction scale (W‐BNS). Using four Dutch‐speaking samples, evidence was found three‐factor...
Abstract Within the Job Demands-Resources model, presence of job demands (e.g., work pressure) and absence resources social support) relate to burnout through a psychological energetic process, whereas associates with engagement motivational process. Although various mechanisms have been suggested understand these processes, empirical evidence for is scarce within JD-R framework. This study examines role basic need satisfaction, as defined Self-Determination Theory, in relationships between...
The present research complements extant variable-centered that focused on the dimensions of autonomous and controlled motivation through adoption a person-centered approach for identifying motivational profiles. Both in high school students (Study 1) college 2), cluster analysis revealed 4 profiles: good quality group (i.e., autonomous, low controlled); poor quantity controlled). To compare groups, authors derived predictions from qualitative quantitative perspectives motivation. Findings...
Self-determination theory proposes a multidimensional conceptualization of motivation comprising autonomous and controlled forms. Whereas relates positively to individuals' optimal functioning (e.g., well-being, performance), is less beneficial. To be able use self-determination in the field organizational behaviour, Multidimensional Work Motivation Scale was developed tested using data from 3435 workers seven languages nine countries. Factorial analyses indicated that 19-item scale has same...
Using self‐determination theory, two studies found that holding an extrinsic, relative to intrinsic, work value orientation was associated with less positive outcomes (i.e. satisfaction with, dedication and vitality while on the job) more negative higher emotional exhaustion, short‐lived after successful goal‐attainment, turn‐over intention). These relations were not limited job outcomes, but also emerged using indicators of employees' general mental health. Moreover, income level did...
Various cross-cultural researchers state that autonomy is not valued in Eastern cultures and, hence, unlikely to predict optimal study functioning and well-being. In contrast, self-determination theory (SDT; R. M. Ryan & E. L. Deci, 2000) maintains autonomous or volitional motivation universally important should better learning higher well-being, even among Chinese students. Two studies were conducted shed light on this controversial issue. Findings from both indicated positively predicts...
This study aimed to integrate the differentiation between two types of job demands, as made in previous studies, Job–Demands Resources (JD-R) model. Specifically, this examine empirically whether hindrances and challenges, next category resources, accounts for unexpected positive relationships particular demands (e.g., workload) employees' work engagement. Results confirmatory factor analyses supported three categories characteristics samples (N 1 = 261 N 2 441). Further, structural equation...
Self-determination theory defines two important dimensions of teaching style: autonomy support and structure.The purpose the present study was to investigate synergistic relationship perceived teacher provision structure in prediction self-regulated learning.Students (N=526) completed questionnaires assessing support, structure, learning.First, were found be positively correlated, suggesting that student generally goes hand with order classroom. Second, moderated regression analyses...
In current research on parenting, 2 ways of conceptualizing perceived parental autonomy support can be distinguished. Parental defined in terms promotion independence (PI) or volitional functioning (PVF). This study aimed to establish the empirical distinctiveness both conceptualizations and examine their relative contribution prediction adolescents' adjustment. The authors conducted 3 studies, which sampled late adolescents (N=396, mean age=18.70 years, 79% female; N=495, age=19.30 74%...
The present experimental research examined whether framing early adolescents' (11‐ to 12‐year‐olds) learning activity in terms of the attainment an extrinsic (i.e., physical attractiveness) versus intrinsic health) goal and communicating these different contents internally controlling autonomy‐supportive way affect performance. Both conceptual rote were assessed. Three field studies, 2 among obese 1 nonobese participants, confirmed hypothesis that internal control undermine (but not rote)...
Guided by Self-Determination Theory, we offer an integrative and fine-grained analysis of teachers' classroom motivating style (i.e., autonomy support, structure, control, chaos) to resolve existing controversies in the literature, such as how these dimensions relate each other educationally important student teacher outcomes.Six independent samples secondary school teachers (N ϭ 1332; M age 40.9 years) their students 1735, 14.6 read 12 ecologically valid vignettes rate four styles, using...
Parental monitoring, assessed as (perceived) parental knowledge of the child's behavior, has been established a consistent predictor problem behavior. However, recent research indicates that more to do with adolescents' self-disclosure than parents' active monitoring. Although these findings may suggest parents exert little influence on authors argue this conclusion is premature, because in itself be influenced by rearing style. This study (a) examined relations between parenting dimensions...
