“…Overall, these results were consistent with the BPNT and SDT literatures with respect to need satisfaction and positive psychological outcomes (e.g., Adie et al, 2012;Gagné et al, 2003;Kipp & Weiss, 2013;McDavid et al, 2014;Molix & Nichols, 2013;Pavey et al, 2011).…”

“…However, despite the relevance of autonomous and controlled motivation, the specific role of the three basic psychological needs has not been examined to date with respect to antisocial and prosocial behavior. There is growing evidence in the sport domain (e.g., Adie, Duda, & Ntoumanis, 2012;Balaguer, González, Fabra, Castillo, Mercé, & Duda, 2012;Felton & Jowett, 2013;McDavid, Cox. & McDonough, 2014) that basic need satisfaction directly influences affect, cognition, and behavior (i.e., not mediated by motivation); consequently, studies investigating this hypothesis with respect to antisocial and prosocial behavior appear warranted.…”

The purpose of this investigation was to examine whether the relationships between contextual factors and basic psychological needs were related to antisocial and prosocial behaviors in sport. A two-study project employing Bayesian path analysis was conducted with competitive athletes (Study 1, n = 291; Study 2, n = 272). Coach and teammate autonomy-supportive climates had meaningful direct relations with need satisfaction and prosocial behaviors. Coach and teammate controlling climates had meaningful direct relations with antisocial behaviors. Need satisfaction was both directly and indirectly related with both prosocial and antisocial behaviors; while moral disengagement was directly and indirectly related with antisocial behaviors. Overall, these findings reflected substantial evidence from the SDT literature that autonomy-supportive motivational climates are important environmental influences for need satisfaction; and are important correlates of prosocial behavior in sport. Whereas, controlling coach and teammate climates, along with moral disengagement, were important correlates of antisocial behavior in sport.

“…Using either approach, researchers have provided evidence that satisfaction of each specific psychological need and general PNS are associated with physical activity-related outcomes (Hagger et al, 2006;McDavid et al, 2014;Sebire et al, 2009;Taylor et al, 2010). To reconcile the advantages of both approaches, the objectives of the current study were to investigate the specific psychological needs and general PNS simultaneously by using bifactor modeling, and examine its utility in predicting MVPA in adolescents.…”

The objectives of this study were twofold: (a) examine if measures designed to assess satisfaction of competence, autonomy, and relatedness needs in the physical activity domain can represent both general and specific needs satisfaction, and (b) assess if the specific needs are associated with concurrent moderate-to-vigorous intensity physical activity (MVPA) participation (Time 1) and MVPA participation 4 months later (Time 2), beyond general psychological needs satisfaction (PNS). Data from 544 adolescents (Mage=14.12 years, SD=.64) were analyzed. A bifactor model specifying a general PNS and three specific needs factors provided a good fit to the data. Extending the model to predict Time 1 and Time 2 MVPA participation also provided a good fit to the data. General PNS and specific needs had unique and empirically distinguishable associations with MVPA participation. The bifactor operationalization of PNS has implications for future research. Specifically, it provides a framework to delineate common and distinctive antecedents and outcomes of general PNS and specific needs.

“…However, in the majority of studies focused on adolescents in the physical activity literature, researchers assessed perceptions of PNS in physical education classes specifically (McDavid et al, 2014;Taylor et al, 2010;Standage et al, 2012). The focus on physical education is likely because experiences in this context are thought to influence psychological factors (e.g., motivation, PNS) that lead to greater physical activity outside of physical education classes (Standage et al).…”

“…In other words, LGM allows researchers to examine different types of trajectories of change (e.g., linear, quadratic) while accounting for individual variability in change. To this end, researchers who have used similar longitudinal analyses as LGM such as hierarchical linear modelling have also observed an increase in MVPA over time in adolescents aged 11 to 16 years (Taylor et al, 2010) and 11 to 13 years of age (McDavid et al, 2014).…”

Objective: (a) Examine longitudinal measurement invariance of scores from psychological need satisfaction (PNS) scales, and (b) examine if changes in PNS were associated with change in moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA). Method: Adolescents (N ϭ 842, M age ϭ 10.8, SD ϭ .6) enrolled in the Monitoring Activities of Teenagers to Comprehend their Habits (MATCH) study completed measures of PNS and MVPA every 4 months over a 3-year period (2011-14) for a total of 9 times. Results: PNS scores demonstrated strong longitudinal measurement invariance (i.e., invariant factor loadings and intercepts). Latent growth curve modeling indicated that a factor representing perceptions of all 3 PNS variables was positively associated with MVPA at Time 1 (␤ ϭ .562, p Ͻ .05), and that increases in the common PNS factor were associated with increases in MVPA (␤ ϭ .545, p Ͻ .05) with a large effect size (R initial MVPA 2 ϭ .316; R change in MVPA 2 ϭ .301). In an alternative model, MVPA at Time 1 was associated with perceived common PNS at Time 1 (␤ ϭ .602, p Ͻ .001), and increases in MVPA were associated with increases in common PNS (␤ ϭ .667, p Ͻ .001) with a large effect size (R initial PNS 2 ϭ .363 of the R change in PNS 2 ϭ .426). Conclusions:Longitudinal measurement invariance was supported, and therefore PNS scores could be used to study change over time. Further, 2 equally well fitting models were found suggesting that change in PNS can be both an antecedent and an outcome of MVPA. As such, both PNS and MVPA could be targeted in interventions aimed at increasing need satisfaction or MVPA.
