Up until today, the S/DS hypothesis has been supported by a limited number of studies showing a moderating role of experienced need support in one's life. For example, people who experienced need satisfaction in their life reported higher feelings of autonomy satisfaction (sensitive) after an autonomy-supportive event compared to people who lacked from need support in their life (desensitive). But how do these people react towards a need-thwarting situation? Do they restore? Who is sensitive or desensitive?
