Which of the following needs are associated with self-determination theory:

Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

Self-Determination Theory (SDT) posits three innate psychological needs: autonomy, competence, and relatedness.

1) Relevant knowledge points and concepts
- Autonomy: the need to feel volitional and to act in accord with one’s own values and interests.  
- Competence: the need to feel effective and able to achieve desired outcomes and master tasks.  
- Relatedness: the need to feel connected to others, to care for and be cared for, and to belong.  
These three needs, articulated by Deci and Ryan, are considered universal and central to promoting intrinsic motivation and well-being.

2) Step-by-step reasoning
- Compare each answer option to the canonical SDT triad (autonomy, competence, relatedness).  
- Option d explicitly lists autonomy, relatedness, competence — which exactly matches the SDT triad (order does not change meaning).  
- Therefore option d aligns perfectly with the theory.

3) Calculations / intermediate steps
- No numerical calculation is required. The “intermediate step” is the direct mapping: SDT triad = {autonomy, competence, relatedness} → choose option containing these three items.

4) Why the correct answer is correct
- Option d names the three psychological needs SDT identifies. Empirical and theoretical work in SDT shows satisfying these needs supports intrinsic motivation, engagement, and well-being; thwarting them undermines motivation and psychological health.

5) Why other options are incorrect
- Option a (goals, achievement, social learning): mixes constructs from achievement and social-cognitive theories; none are the three SDT needs.  
- Option b (relatedness, autonomy, control): includes relatedness and autonomy but replaces competence with “control,” which is conceptually different — SDT emphasizes perceived competence and volition, not external control.  
- Option c (competency, autonomy, motivation): includes competence and autonomy but lists “motivation” as a need; in SDT, motivation is an outcome influenced by need satisfaction, not a basic psychological need itself.

Conclusion
The correct choice is d. autonomy, relatedness, competence, which matches the provided answer.
