3 Basic Needs That Drive Your Behavior [Self-Determination Theory]

Self-determination theory argues that people are motivated to learn, grow and change their lives, if their three basic psychological needs are satisfied: competence, connection, and autonomy. People who are unable to fulfill these three needs, may feel amotivation, or need extrinsic rewards to learn or make changes. They often experience little control over their own lives, no sense of self-determination, and often also poor mental health.

  1. The three should, just i think: Autonomy, Competence and A sense of feeling of importance (since connection doesn't that much focus on the sense of being needed than 'a sense of importance' does, I guess)

  2. 1 John 2:27
    New King James Version
    But the anointing which you have received from Him abides in you, and you do not need that anyone teach you; but as the same anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you will abide in Him.

    Matthew 9:4
    New King James Version
    4 But Jesus, knowing their thoughts, said, “Why do you think evil in your hearts?

    Psalm 57:6
    New King James Version
    6 They have prepared a net for my steps;
    My soul is bowed down;
    They have dug a pit before me;
    Into the midst of it they themselves have fallen. Selah

    Ephesians 6:12
    12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.

    2 Samuel 14:17
    New King James Version
    17 Your maidservant said, ‘The word of my lord the king will now be comforting; for as the angel of God, so is my lord the king in discerning good and evil. And may the Lord your God be with you.’ ”

    Exodus 20:13
    New King James Version
    13 “You shall not murder.

    Romans 6:10
    New King James Version
    For the death that He died, He died to sin once for all; but the life that He lives, He lives to God.

    Romans 4:4
    New King James Version
    4 Now to him who works, the wages are not counted as grace but as debt.

    Psalm 56:5-7
    New King James Version
    5 All day they twist my words;
    All their thoughts are against me for evil.
    6 They gather together,
    They hide, they mark my steps,
    When they lie in wait for my life.
    7 Shall they escape by iniquity?
    In anger cast down the peoples, O God!

    Matthew 22:21 NKJV. They said to Him, “Caesar's.” And He said to them, “Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's.”

    18 U.S. Code § 241 – Conspiracy against rights
    U.S. Code
    If two or more persons conspire to injure, oppress, threaten, or intimidate any person in any State, Territory, Commonwealth, Possession, or District in the free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege secured to him by the Constitution or laws of the United States, or because of his having so exercised the same; or

    If two or more persons go in disguise on the highway, or on the premises of another, with intent to prevent or hinder his free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege so secured—

    They shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both; and if death results from the acts committed in violation of this section or if such acts include kidnapping or an attempt to kidnap, aggravated sexual abuse or an attempt to commit aggravated sexual abuse, or an attempt to kill, they shall be fined under this title or imprisoned for any term of years or for life, or both, or may be sentenced to death.

    Matthew 24:7
    New King James Version
    7 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places.

  3. If we were to do a classroom activity in 2 min that demonstrates all the 3 psychological needs, how would you do it? Please someone answer me because I have an exam next session.

  4. I am motivated to post a comment because I know it can be helpful to the content creator getting boosted in the algorithm- so, I'm happy to help someone out in this low stakes way

  5. I like the video overall, but I don't think it's an appropriate comparison between "American" and "Chinese" students. This assumption is only based on a stereotypical impression, which overlooks the diversity of motivations in individuals.

  6. Self-Determination Theory hits different when you realize freedom ain’t just doing what you want; it’s wanting what aligns with your soul. Autonomy, mastery, purpose… that’s the real flex. 👏🏾💡
