According to self determination theory, the three psychological needs for autonomy, competence, and relatedness can be satisfied by the context or by behaviours in which individuals engage. Is there any research comparing whether the implications of need satisfaction differ depending on how the needs are satisfied (i.e. by the context or the person)?
In other words, are the outcomes of need satisfaction more positive when needs are satisfied by specific behaviours individuals engage in versus being in a context that satisfies the needs?
