“…These results show that if mobile gamers’ basic psychological needs are frustrated when they play, because they are forced to act against their volition, cannot be competent or feel rejected or isolated, the consequences are negative—greater probability of experiencing IGD and a greater tendency to seek rewards or evasion when they play. These results are consistent with the suggestion that need frustration can be linked to the development of psychopathology [ 35 ] and to a pattern of obsessive gaming [ 34 , 36 ], over which the gamer has little control [ 46 ]. Also, previous findings [ 23 ] suggest that, despite mobile games being simpler and having limited interfaces, they can produce addictive behaviour, because their users expect them to alleviate feelings of loneliness and to enhance social relatedness.…”

“…Frustration of basic psychological needs has only recently been studied as separate from low need satisfaction and has been proposed to be related to the development of psychopathology [ 34 ]. Need frustration is especially predictive of poor well-being—disengagement, poor sleep, elevated blood pressure, disordered eating and obsessively pursued behaviors [ 35 ].…”

Casual videogames (CVGs), played on smartphones, are becoming increasingly popular, especially among females and adults. Whereas the addictive potential of online (computer) videogames is well-established, there is yet insufficient evidence for Internet gaming disorder (IGD) in mobile gamers and for the mediating role of some mechanisms involved. The aim of this study is to investigate the impact of the frustration of psychological needs on mobile videogamers’ addictive behavior as well as the role of cognitions (game-use expectancies) and behaviors (time spent playing) through a hypothesized serial mediation model, while controlling for important correlates, such as game genre, age, gender and payment during play. A total of 471 mobile game users (211 males) with an average age of 21.73 replied to an online survey containing sociodemographic and game variables, the Need Satisfaction and Frustration Scale (NSFS), the Internet Gaming Disorder Scale-Short Form (IGDS9-SF) and a slightly modified version of the Internet Use Expectancies Scale (IUES). The results corroborate the negative effects of need frustration on IGD among mobile gamers and clarify the role of time spent playing and game-use expectancies in the development of IGD, highlighting the important role of cognitions in this relationship. We conclude that both the time spent playing and game-use expectancies should be important targets for clinical interventions, even though they are not included in the diagnostic criteria.

“…The internal consistency of the subscales in the authors' research ranged from .64 to .89, factor loadings for individual items ranged from .62 to .80, and coefficients of determination (R 2 ) ranged from .38 to .64 (Chen et al, 2015). In the Polish adaptation of Kuźma et al (2020), Cronbach's α ranged from .62 to .82. The Oxford Happiness Questionnaire (OHQ; Hills & Argyle, 2002) in the Polish adaptation of Poprawa (2012) measures subjective psychological well-being and the subjective properties that determine it, known as the resources of happiness.…”

This study aimed to validate a Polish adaptation of the Basic Psychological Need Satisfaction and Frustration Scale (BPNS&FS) and determine the significance of need satisfaction and frustration for mental health. The scale measures satisfaction and frustration of basic psychological needs: autonomy, competence, relatedness. The measurement of these needs has an important role in the explanation of psychological well-being and risk of disorders. participants and procedureThe study involved 792 participants (50% woman) and 60 (67% men) alcohol addicted patients. We obtained a Polish translation equivalent to the original tool. Three theoretical models were tested by confirmatory factor analysis (CFA, N = 736). Reliability was tested using test-retest reliability, item-total correlation, and internal consistency. Criterion validity was evaluated based on the correlation with happiness resources, symptoms of mental health disorders, psychache, and risk of alcoholism. resultsCFA confirmed the validity of measurement for two independent dimensions: satisfaction and frustration of each need. The BPNS&FS is characterized by good reliability parameters. Criterion validity was confirmed by significantly positive relations of needs satisfaction with happiness resources, and negative relations with symptoms of mental health disorders, psychache, and the risk of alcoholism. Need frustration has opposite relations with the above variables. The validity was also supported by significantly higher need frustration among alcoholics, compared to a normative sample. Women differed significantly from men in lower autonomy and competence satisfaction and higher relatedness satisfaction. conclusionsThe Polish version of the BPNS&FS is a valuable and reliable measurement tool. It has been confirmed that both the satisfaction and frustration of needs have important consequences for well-being and mental health.

“…Since the original publication, the results have been replicated in numerous countries, with various translations and adaptations to various life domains [ 4 ]. The general version of the scale has been validated in, among others, Japanese [ 28 ], Portuguese [ 29 ], Hebrew [ 30 ] Polish [ 31 ]and Arabic [ 32 ]. Then, the need of studies in the work environment made researchers prepare a scale for this purpose [ 33 ].…”

“…For these reasons, the purpose of this project was to validate the BSNSFS-Work Domain at work into Polish language and culture. It is worth noting that the general version of the BSNSFS has also been adapted into Polish language, however the present version is intended to verify the basic psychological needs inclusively in the work context, in contrast to the general version of the scale which is intended to measure the basic needs in general population [ 31 ].…”

The aim of this research project was to validate the work-related version of the Basic Psychological Need Satisfaction and Frustration Scale (BPNSFS) into the Polish language and culture. Although studies have demonstrated the benefits associated with basic psychological need satisfaction and the costs associated with need frustration at work, the concept of needs has been neglected both in Polish scientific research and in practical organizational studies. The adaptation of the BPNSFS-Work Domain may change this situation and stimulate research in the Polish community. The scale has been validated in a sample consisting of three occupational groups: healthcare workers, education staff and customer service workers (N = 1315, Mage = 43.8). The findings suggest that the Polish scale has robust psychometric features. The CFA analysis proves that the scale has a six-dimensional structure similar to the original scale. These dimensions show satisfactory to high Cronbach’s α and McDonalds ω reliability, and high criterion validity is shown by association of the six need dimensions with correlates of both positive (i.e., engagement, job crafting and self-efficacy) and negative aspects of work (i.e., burnout and stress). The structure of the scale is the same in all three occupational groups, although the regression weights and covariances are only partially invariant. The validated version of the BPNSFS-Work Domain can be used in future basic and applied studies in the paradigm of self-determination theory.
