Are the Benefits of Autonomy Satisfaction and the Costs of Autonomy Frustration Dependent on Individuals' Autonomy Strength?
Conclusions: Overall, these findings are congruent with a moderate (albeit not with a strong) interpretation of the universality claim made within Self‐Determination Theory, provide initial evidence for a differentiation between deficit‐based and growth‐oriented interpersonal differences in need strength, and indicate that the potential moderating role of need strength deserves continued attention before any firm conclusions can be drawn.
