Psychological Need Satisfaction

Based on self-determination theory (SDT), the present study aimed to investigate whether adolescents’ perception of autonomy support to adopt a healthy lifestyle from their class tutor, family, peers, and physical education teacher was related to adolescents’ self-reported moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA). The role played by perceived basic psychological need satisfaction, novelty need satisfaction and self-determined motivation towards a healthy lifestyle was also analyzed. Two hundred and fifteen students (107 boys and 108 girls) from elementary school, aged between 11 to 13 years old (Mage = 11.35 years; SD = .51), answered different SDT-based measures and reported their MVPA. The results of the path analysis revealed that perceived autonomy support from tutor positively predicted novelty need satisfaction, while perceived autonomy support from peers positively predicted novelty need satisfaction and the construct of basic psychological need satisfaction. In turn, both need satisfactions positively predicted self-determined motivation. Perceived autonomy support from peers also positively and directly predicted MVPA in leisure time. This work provides evidence of the contribution of novelty need satisfaction as a construct of SDT and the importance of involving social agents of the educational community to promote MVPA.

Psychological Need Satisfaction

Based on the self-determination theory (Ryan & Deci, 2000), this study tested a model of the assumed sequential relationships between perceived autonomy support, psychological need satisfaction, self-determined motivation, and enjoyment/boredom. The hypothesized mediational roles of psychological need satisfaction and self-determined motivation were also studied. In a sample of 370 young male soccer players, path analysis results offered support for the proposed model. Total mediation was supported in the case of the psychological need satisfaction in the relationship between autonomy support and self-determined motivation, and partial mediation for self-determined motivation in the links between psychological need satisfaction and enjoyment (positive) and boredom (negative). Implications of autonomy-supportive behaviors provided by coaches for the quality of sport involvement among young athletes are discussed.
