Self-Determination Theory

Basic Psychological Needs in Motivation, Development, and Wellness

Self-Determination Theory (SDT) provides a framework for understanding the factors that promote motivation and healthy psychological and behavioral functioning. In this authoritative work, the theory’s co-developers extensively explore:
