Dear researchers,
my personal work and passion focus on supporting entrepreneurs and students in getting awareness about their personal values. In specific I support them in setting autonomous goals which are aspirated by their intrinsic rather than extrinsic values. I do this through awareness and mindfulness training. By that, I hope to contribute to the flourishing of those individuals and to the best of the people and the planet.
I measure participants' subjective and psychological well-being before and 3 months after the training (controlled quasi-experiments). As a mediating effect to subjective and psychological well-being I would like to measure the satisfaction of participants' basic psychological needs.
Therefore a German version of the "basic psychological needs scale in general" would be really helpful. I am only able to find German versions for specific contexts or the "Balanced Psychological Needs Scale" which do not seem to fit for my purposes.
Does anyone of you know whether there is a German version of the general scale?
Kind regards and thank you!
Benedict
How about this one? The German Psychological Need Satisfaction in Exercise Scale: Validation of a measure of need satisfaction in exercise.

Abstract
Self-determination theory (SDT) has become an established framework for exploring motivational processes in physical exercise. The integral components of SDT are three basic psychological needs. For our study we translated and validated a German scale that measures need satisfaction in exercise. A total of 614 individuals (n = 347 female, age: M = 38.39 years, SD = 12.05) recruited from a private fitness center, various sport clubs, and the Academic Sports Association Zurich, Switzerland, took part in the online-based baseline assessment (T1). Nine months later, 216 participants completed the online follow-up questionnaire (T2). The results demonstrate adequate factor validity and internal consistency at both measurement points. Moreover, construct validity was demonstrated by medium to strong correlations of several motives to exercise and the self-efficacy of physical exercise. In addition, the three subscales were differentially predictive for different types of motivation (for example, intrinsic and extrinsic) at T2, indicating good criterion validity. The newly developed German scale is a reliable and valid instrument for assessing need satisfaction in the context of physical exercise and predicting motivation over time.
