Self-Determination Theory: Understanding the Foundations of Motivation and Well-being This authoritative work provides a comprehensive framework for understanding the factors that promote motivation and healthy psychological functioning. The authors, who developed the theory, examine its conceptual underpinnings, empirical evidence base, and practical applications across various domains. The book synthesizes a vast body of research on how supporting or thwarting people's basic needs for competence, relatedness, and autonomy affects their development and well-being. The volume explores the implications of self-determination theory for practice and policy in fields such as education, healthcare, psychotherapy, sport, and the workplace. By understanding the underlying principles of motivation and well-being, readers can gain insights into how to support individuals in achieving their goals and improving their overall quality of life. By synthesizing a vast body of research, this book offers a valuable resource for anyone interested in understanding the complexities of human motivation and behavior.
